What’s up what’s up Happy saturday Or whatever day you happen to watch this On andy krueger here professional dog Trainer extraordinaire Get you a t-shirt i’ll let people get on I’ll let the questions start coming in Topic for the beginning of this week’s Live Belgian malinois are the most over Exercised Breed in existence currently Yeah you heard it right everyone’s going To be going andy what are you talking About malinois need tons of exercise What what are you doing over there Malinows are the most over Exercised Breed And i’m gonna explain what i mean If i were to get A nice Quality Labrador retriever And I were to get a nice Quality Belgian malinois It’s early malinois i get them both at The same time i raised them the same way I train them Equal amount of time every single day am I really going to Physically exercise
The malinois more than the lab i’m not I’m not does a malinois need more Exercise than a border collie Than a lab than a doberman Than a german shepherd Than a boxer Why Why would a malinois need more physical Exercise they don’t They don’t I think you guys would be surprised how Much i actually exercise My belgian malinois sure It’s it’s almost every day it’s Definitely five six days a week on Average but i think you’d be really Surprised i’m not Running them into the ground and pushing Them to crazy physical exhaustion on Like a super regular basis i’m just not Of course physical exercise it’s Important for every dog like that goes Without saying for me Malin was or over exercise every dog Needs exercise every person needs Exercise so do melon ones need more Exercise No they don’t they need to be worked Differently That’s what everyone’s missing here the Malinois needs to be handled Trained and worked Specific to their genetics so my lab and My malinois yeah i’m going to
Work them Differently they have different Genetics so i’m gonna work them Differently but exercise i definitely Don’t think a malinois needs more Exercise than a lab now the reason People think that is because There’s this concept there’s this idea Out there that’s promoted to to new Malinois owner that goes oh they need Tons of exercise they need tons of Exercise they need tons of exercise That’s putting a band-aid on it you Can’t rely on physically exhausting a Dog to have them be Content You can’t rely on that you owe the dog Daily exercise but if you don’t have That your dog’s gonna be bouncing off The walls going crazy i don’t think so Okay i don’t think so who agrees with me Let me know in the comments malin was Need to be worked Differently Than your average dog but more exercise I think not The belgian malinois everything with Them Is more extreme Than another breed of dog like a lab I’ll explain so say you have a labrador Retriever who has separation anxiety You’re going to see that anxiety come Out in the lab
If the malinois has separation anxiety It’ll be way more apparent it’ll be a Bigger problem because a malinois is More extreme some dogs jump this high Malinois jump this high some dogs bite Like this Malinois bite like that so they can be More extreme so the average person is Going to Inadvertently give their pet dog Separation anxiety but with a malinois It’s way More severe and apparent so people will Take the edge off they will Try to alleviate that anxiety by running The dog into the ground and that’s not The way you do it Guys owning and training a belgian Malinois it’s definitely not for Everyone and there’s a chance Most people they just won’t be able to Do it And you think oh i’m going to get a Melon no i’m going to train it i’m going To exercise it every day no i’m really Going to do this i’m going to work it You can be as gung-ho As you want There’s a chance that you just won’t be Able to do it let me make a comparison Say that you need to rebuild the engine Of your car Okay if you’re a gear head you’re like Oh cool
How many people You know out of a thousand people just Average I have a booger Just average people How many are going to be able to Actually learn how to rebuild an engine Start to finish They really put their time in they Really give it give it a good go even a Couple months they study it they watch Videos they train With a mechanic how many people are Actually going to be able to do it the Reality is there’s a percentage of People that just literally won’t be able To Whether it’s because they uh they give Up or they just don’t really it’s just Not there Oh yeah Take any any trade any craft you know Woodworking Whatever you want to pick but there’s a Percentage of people that just can’t do It and it’s not a knock on them It’s just not for them so owning Training And handling A belgian malinois Is a very unique challenge and again Even if you try really really Hard dog training is really really hard You just might not be able to do it
Successfully if you’re having tons of Problems with your malinois It’s probably not the dog for you it’s Pretty it’s really probably not the dog For you if you plan to get a belgian Malinois and go oh i’m going to exercise The crap out of this dog every day Because that’s what they need you’re You probably shouldn’t be owning a Belgian malinois because they need to be Trained Handled and worked Playing fetch taking them for a jog that Has nothing to do With Handling training and working the dog It’s just running them it’s one one Hundredth of what the dog needs Every melon what i see Is probably over exercise unless a real Pro pro trainer has the dog they’re over Exercise and people go oh no he’s good He loves it he needs it he’ll go all day I have to stop him he’ll keep going Just because the dog can doesn’t mean The dog should You need to learn what working a dog is Versus what just exercising A dog is to wrap up this point Years and years ago I sold a fully trained belgian malinois To a client that i had at the time And they had a couple of pet dogs here And there in the past but never
A real dog a working dog So the client at the time says to me Like oh no i want a working dog um oh He’s gung-ho he’s ordering all the stuff Online he’s got all the cool equipment He’s oh i’m going home to work oh i’m Gonna take time every day to do this This that and the other Four months later i get the dog back We can’t handle the dog the dog’s too Much we want a working dog but once we Get one we’re like i don’t know if i Want this dog anymore what happened was The client at the time Confused Physical exercise with handling and Working And no matter how much you throw the Ball for the dog in the park you’re Fulfilling one 100th of what the belgian malinois needs So they thought well i’ll just run and Exercise him crazy every day and we’ll Be great Wasn’t the case i got the dog back so Forget about Big physical exercise think about how You can work here You need a 10 by 10 space you need a 5×5 Space to get a malinois exhausted here So it’s about working the dog it’s not About running the dog ragged Pro tip let’s get into some questions What do you all got for me we got a
Whole bunch what’s up getting up Hello fellow dog training enthusiast There’s my guy matthew what’s up matthew Hey everyone what’s up what’s up i think More mental stimulation is more Important than physical exercise Boom bing David you nailed that one Holy crap finally made a live there’s my Boy aaron Loyal patron coming to train with me Soon yes it’s true a lot of work and Commitment The most work and commitment it’s Commitment and work here though Appreciate everything you’re doing You’re live Push me to set up Oh let me make sure i read this right This is from marcia appreciate Everything you’re doing your live push Me to set up with oscar morris company Your videos have my pup ahead of the Game gonna up the patreon nice i love Hearing that that’s why i do it finally Made it to a live patreon let’s go maybe Getting better daily thanks thank you I’m glad to hear that Hey andy great to see you man love the Topic hope it encourages me to get a Working dog I hope it does too you got to be ready To work though discipline discipline Dissolve plan
Especially if you have a full-time job Having a full-time job in a malinois That’s like getting another full-time Job that’s for sure This really hits home hindsight well It’s never too late My male girl is heating on me whoa Oh this is going to be a good one you Know what jordan how do you handle Training around puppy brain changes hmm Four months when they regress nine Months fear period etc i know Consistency but do you stick with basics Reduce time okay marcia let me let me Get you on this question how do you Handle training around puppy brain Changes i think what marsha’s trying to Say Is that In general terms there’s a narrative out There that okay four months old let’s Just call it teething uh period five Months old um I don’t really know what the puppy brain Means but nine months fear period look It’s totally possible that a a lot of Puppies go through a fear period It’s totally possible the way i handle That is i don’t drown them in the Situation that makes them afraid i i Don’t try to coddle them i don’t try to Kiss their butt i don’t try i just let Them be nervous about whatever they’re Nervous about i move on i don’t give it
Any special treatment i just act like Okay that’s fine you’re afraid you can Be afraid that’s no problem i don’t Really agree with the puppy brain thing I think that if you’re experiencing some Backslide or some trouble when the dog’s Four months old the dog’s lifestyle is Probably like way off because i’ve had Just personally A lot of puppies that i’ve raised and Trained and i never I never ran into any problems like that Fear periods for sure that’s real but The puppy brain uh i think maybe that’s More like an experienced trainer brain You know not so much the puppy Fear periods are real but like no matter What marsha i Pretty much never blame the dog The dog’s stubborn the dog’s hard-headed You’re blaming the dog we gotta be Better than that Let’s see what we got here How would you go about trying maybe Training a dog that is resource guarding Its owner Super common problem How do you train a dog or how do you Start To train a dog that resource guards Their owner Guys there’s a big difference between Possession And protection
I truly believe A dog has to have the correct genetics And the correct Formal training To protect someone and i know everyone Has a story about how one time the dog Wasn’t trained and the dog just Naturally by instinct protected it The only problem with that is it’s just A little anecdotal there’s no Actual it’s anecdotal it’s an opinion But there’s a big difference between Protection and possession Most dogs Are possessive over their owners i know That’s a huge General Statement but and not you guys that are On this live because you’re going above And beyond but just the average person Depending on the dog if they say the Dog’s protective the dog’s possessive You know what the dog being possessive Of you means it means that the dog Treats you Like you’re a bone Like you’re his toy And dog goes You’re mine i own you and the problem With that is It’s not true Because we own the dog if your dog bites Someone guess who’s in trouble you If you assault someone on the street
Guess who’s in trouble Your dog i’m just kidding you are you’re The boss you own the dog the dog doesn’t Own you the dog’s living in fantasyland If he thinks he owns you so how do i go About training a dog that resource Guards their owner I Just off the top of my head I have to get that owner far away I have to go Give me the leash thank you Bye bye owner i’ll see you in three Weeks i’ll see you in two weeks whatever It is Probably two for a visit but i need to Get One-on-one lessons with that dog Sure anything’s possible but If we really want results you got to get That owner out of there you have to take That resource away from the dog and then Step by step day by day brick by brick You have to build a healthy relationship With the dog Because if you don’t have that rapport With the dog you’re not going to be able To convince it to behave with the owner Otherwise Jordan the problem with that is you’re Going to take the dog you’re going to Make the dog way better you’re going to Give the dog back to the owner it’s Going to be better right now
But if the owner doesn’t truly change Their mentality and the presence that They carry themselves with around the Dog the dog will always be possessive of Them so Get the dog away from the owner Establish a rapport and train the dog Give the dog real skills then bring the Owner back in and start to teach the dog Hey guess what you definitely don’t own Them But that’s a tricky one for sure those Kind of things will make you a good Trainer What doesn’t help is a malinois will Never say no you need to protect them From themselves Boom Kristoff nailed it with that one one of My favorite trainers of all time bart Bellen i went to a seminar like five or Ten years ago And the way he described the melon wall Was was really funny to me and i I kind of adopted this as well he said The malinois is a junkie The malinois is a degenerate they’re a Gambler they just keep Gambling you a malinois could chase a Squirrel one million times and never Catch one one million in one time They’re just as enthusiastic chasing it Because there’s just that chance They could hit the jackpot
They’re degenerates they’re gamblers They’re junkies For Playing running biting they’ll keep Going back and back and back and back so When i see people with the chuckets just Launching it for a malinois over and Over and over again kind of makes me Want to throw up you definitely have to Protect the dog from themselves and one Of the best quotes i’ve ever heard was Just because a dog can Doesn’t mean a dog should hey my kid can Put away a dozen donuts in one sitting That doesn’t mean they should am i right Patreon crew what up what’s up ashley Andy have you product tested that air Spray can Yeah one of my clients actually gave me It’s like a little looks like a thing of Like mace but it’s just air And it’s supposed to like deter dogs Away i haven’t actually used it on a dog Um But i have sprays just like And gives you this like hit of air so if Anyone ever has dogs loose running Around your neighborhood Uh coming at you and your dog i think You have one of these little air spray Cans and you you spray that fool Love the help with zedekiah thanks julie Cool name too zedekiah it’s a cool name Huge improvements get on the patreon
Folks thanks julie i appreciate that Hello from the philippines what’s up I want to buy a sleeve and suit for Protection work what company do you Recommend i like the company demonae D-e-m-a-n-e-t Phonetically it would be Demonette But it’s demonet so They are They’re based in spain So uh but they ship they ship worldwide Demons the only bite suit i’ve ever had I think i’ve had like 10 suits Over my career and they’ve all been Demonet everything from training weight To semicomp to competition of course so I i doubt i’ll ever have another suit That isn’t a demonet unless someone Sends me one for free And if i wear it online or social media The owner from demonet is probably going To reach through the computer and slap Me so But they do sleeves Toys tugs everything demonet it’s Probably like demonet international.com Or something just google it What’s the best way to work a malinois With their training The best way to work a malinois is with Their Training heel sit down stay bite let go If you guys watch
Some of my videos of jasper or freddy You can really break it down to basics He’ll sit down stay let me give you a Quick example i just did a board and Train with the little fluffy dog and the Owners are like andy we want to see your Dog We want to see your dog i’m like are you Sure you’re ready for the okay so i go Get jasper and we put on a little show For them They were extremely impressed With he’ll sit down stay Really i brought him out in heel he’s Jacked great attention focus doesn’t pay Them or their dog any attention you know He’s just We’re doing our thing we’re playing tug Blah blah blah blah and they’re like oh My god andy that was amazing and i was Like Heel Sit Down Stand bite the toy Let go of the toy that’s all i did with Him but the way i did it The way i did it and the way i used the Commands and the way the dog performed The commands The way i mixed everything up That’s where the work was so basics Basics basics you use the dog’s training To work the dog
Great question What do we got here i hope you guys are Training today I know i am i hate when i see people Talk about how their malinois Will and needs to go eight hours a day Probably exercise yeah that that makes Me nauseous hi if a client asks you to Help him in the training of his leash Reactive dog what steps are you taking To build the dog If a client asks you to help him in Training his leash reactive dog what Steps are you taking to build the dog Well that’s a great question basically How do i fix Leash reactivity or how would i advise a Client to start To build the dot but really to fix that Because the problem was created So ultimately It has to be fixed we have to build Not fix as i like to say But that no doubt is a problem how do we Build the dog well first thing i’m going To do is i’m going to get the dog out of The situation where there’s going to be Any potential for that we’re going to Start in a room Close the door nothing but me and the Dog and i am again going to establish a Rapport a training relationship with the Dog over a thousand repetitions over Weeks
I’m gonna take the dog out of their Comfort zone okay no sleeping in the Crate next to the bed no off leash free Roaming my house if you’re leash Reactive you’re out of your mind if you Think you’re gonna just off leash free Roam around my house and like get on my Couch you’re out of your mind If you’re the dog So the way we need to establish some Absolute basics like you’d see in my Five minute challenge and then what i’m Gonna do is i am gonna have a dog that i Own or a friend or a family member has That’s neutral and doesn’t care and then I’m going to go into that same Environment and i’m going to have them Stand in the corner of the room holding Their dog on a leash and i’m going to be In the other corner of the room and i’m Going to have my dog on leash and the Dog if you’ve done the work correctly Outside of that situation the dog will Only be stressed about that dog for so Long There’s only so long That a dog can live In stress and anxiety Until that starts to subside And if you’re thinking oh no this dog Will be stressed all day every day Because you haven’t done the proper Steps outside of that training session So if the dog never relaxes the dog
Isn’t ready to be there but you need to Spend an hour in that room and then Rinse and repeat that twice a day Every day for a month what you don’t Want to do is go outside with the dog Oh look there’s a dog react react react And dog’s gone you can’t have that you Have to have that dog there For a meaningful period of time Consistently You guys would be shocked some boarding Trains that i have they’re reactive They’re reactive for years and years and Years they come here a few weeks later There’s zero reactivity Because i’ve taken the dog out of their Comfort zone i’ve changed their Lifestyle i’ve established a training Rapport with them Trust and obedience And i’ve put them in Specific situations with specific dogs With a specific game plan And it all comes down to engagement and Motivation Anyone can throw a prong or an e-collar On a dog and hammer them and make them Stop something Anyone can do that right Anyone but can we actually build and Motivate the dog to ignore that dog and Focus on you so that’s a little bit how I would start that one my friend Let’s see what we got here lol oh yeah
I’m sure it was funny whatever it was A lot of questions we might be here Besides the bite work how would you Train a personal protection dog versus a Sport dog Besides the bite work How would i train a personal okay so the Differences between training a personal Protection dog and a sport dog Um To be honest john i don’t know how much Of a difference there’d be for me Personally Of course the bite work Training a dog to bite for real versus Just for competition is totally Different you know people are like oh Yeah but will freddy bite without the Suit no No He’s not trained to do that at all so Yeah the bite works totally different But outside of that john I don’t think i would do a lot different I’m thinking about making homemade gravy So he will eat his dry food is that a Good idea no that’s not a good idea at All if the dog’s not eating their dry Food the dog is telling you that they’re Not hungry so it’s very likely that your Dog’s just over fed i would recommend Fasting and then cutting the quantity You feel feed daily significantly Andy what do you think of mixed malinois
Dutch shepherd know someone that has one And says it’s an awesome mixed breed Yeah not not for me Not for me I don’t i don’t think it’s a good a good Thing hello andy i’m a huge fan of yours Thanks for the great videos thank you Very much my question is my dog is the Perfect pet gentle sweet active listens Well easily trained and very bald driven Sounds perfect what do you need me for How can i give him more mental Stimulation he loves his herding ball What you need to do my five minute Challenges they’re all free on youtube Scroll through my my videos anything That says five minute challenge on the Thumbnail that is exactly how you give Your dog more mental stimulation Any tips on getting my dog to target the Ball rather than the rope i’m gonna make A video of this soon michael i’m gonna Make a video really really soon It’s hard to describe without showing You you just You’re gonna hate that you just can’t Give the dog the option to bite the rope I’ll show you i’m gonna make a video of That soon michael Hey andy where can i buy a dog e-collar Which brand do you recommend i use the Mini educator from ecollar technologies Ecollar.com Andy what’s your opinion on working
Breeds living in an apartment It’s not my favorite you better be like Hard core dog trainer if you’re going to Be living with a working breed in an Apartment That’s a full full full-time job right There three fulls what do you do with a Male that over exercises himself in his Kennel before you go get him for Training in the morning i have one that I had to create in order to To train him Everything that happens with the dog Outside of the crate will determine the Dog’s behavior inside the crate I’ll say that one more time Everything that happens outside of the Crate determines the dog’s Behavior Inside the crate So he spins himself to death in the Crate before training big deal just take Him out go about your training session Put them away I’ve been doing a lot of engagement Training with the heel and working with Food with ziggy playing biting has Dropped off the map how would you Recommend the motivation back for the Toy i mean jordan you just have like Genetics that are working against you There i mean it’s like The play is dropped off the map Look rule of thumb jordan anytime if a
Dog isn’t very enthusiastic about Playing with you the more rules you Start to put the worse it becomes So if we’re going by by re-grip out sit But and there’s like a lot of rules and Control involved that’s really Look the dog either wants to play or the Dog doesn’t want to play so I wouldn’t worry about rules or outing Or full grips or anything fancy i would Just let the dog possess the toy and Just go from there how much time per Week would one need to prepare for dog Sports like igp A local club is suggesting two to six Hours at the club At the weekends and 20 minutes obedience Tracking per day at home that sounds About right to me That sounds about right to me random Comment andy doing a thousand reps on Healing as you said i do focused heel Already seeing major results on 250. Nice Yeah in my uh one of my previous youtube Videos i said This is how you lure the dog with food For heal you need a thousand repetitions Of this Uh and which i believe is true of course I had a Someone really cool in the comments they Go you don’t need a thousand and i never Use leash and collars to train there’s
Always going to be debbie downer oh i Did it in one minute You need a thousand you’re on your way My man You mentioned bart bell bellen what’s Your opinion on nepo po Nepo post cool Can definitely do sweet stuff with it Not good for competition How many times you see bart bellen’s Dogs doing cool stuff all the time how Many times you see them scoring really High in a ring sport recently you know What i mean so it’s cool but not really Designed for a sport dog Your recommendation on choosing a Breeder Like me personally or like the average Person i know i sound like a jerk saying That like oh i’m above you guys that’s Not what i mean at all i just mean that When i go to get a dog a belgian Malinois my goal is the highest level of Ring sport competition so that already Reduces the breeders by a million Percent not that other breeders don’t Have like a pretty cool dog but for the Top in the world that’s a very Thin margin there so I i the breeder i look at what they’ve Produced and what those dogs have gone On to do so if the breeder says oh these Dogs are so friendly No i want to see what the dog actually
Does and i don’t want anecdotes either i Want actual proof And titles and footage and documentation Of what the dog’s done no old wives Tales okay no no urban legend oh yeah This dog someone came in my house one Night and this dog protected me i don’t Need the anecdotes i want scores Yeah i wasn’t sure how to explain puppy Brain i just had sessions where he’s Spot on and then the next day he’s more Worried about environmental noises um It’s okay it’s a puppy you know puppies Get scared it’s all good don’t worry About it Found a stray pit mix about four to five Months old very fearful and skittish but No barking or aggression yeah not yet Just aversion what do you suggest to Build confidence thanks for all that you Do rachel you treat that dog no Different than you would treat any other Dog you put them on a crate schedule you Put them on a training regiment no off Leash free roaming around your house Definitely not off leash in the house Any time the puppy’s out of this crate You have a game plan with a contingency Plan To work the dog for a set period of time And you put the dog away you treat that Dog no different that’s what he would Want What’s up andy i just got to ask how
You’re able to train your board and Trains and train your personal dogs Every day do you get burned out every Now and then I definitely don’t train my board and Trains and my dogs every day The biggest problem dog trainers have is Their dogs always take a back seat to Their board and train so yeah like Recently i had like three boarding Trains um which for some people isn’t a Lot but for what i’m doing with them Every day it’s a lot of work yeah i went Like two weeks and freddie got zero Training i just let him run around and Do his thing out in the out on the Property but yeah Um do i get burnt out um I mean i think everyone gets burned out On Whatever they do at some point but you Know it’s not really a problem for me uh But yeah my dogs definitely get they They get put on the back burner michael That’s why i started the five minute Challenges because A lot of times i literally have five Maybe ten Five sounds cooler it’s shorter but i Have five or ten minutes that’s it To work with my dog so that’s why i like I like to do those but Um Like michael like if i so if i’m like
Flying my decoy in For a weekend of training like the Months before that i’m working my dog a Lot i’m training a lot once that Weekend’s over and i have a couple Months where I’m you know not going to be bringing Them in and really doing a lot of bite Work then i can take it a little easier On those months so it just you know it Kind of depends but Man I sure wish i could train my dog more That’s for sure Recommendations for a dog that isn’t Food motivated but is jacked for the Frisbee i’ve tried using a tug Look here’s my thing i’m going to stop You right there here’s my thing a dog That isn’t food motivated does not work For me that doesn’t work is the dog a Senior Is the dog handicapped Does the dog have some sort of an Ailment that’s fine A dog that’s not food motivated though Outside that that doesn’t work for me i Don’t take that i’m not going to go well You’re not food motivated so let me see What like oh no you’re going to get food Motivated No you’re going to get food motivated [Music] Yeah you are
The no food motivated doesn’t work for Me you’re going on a big league diet Major Major diet Stupid diet Your ass going on a diet You’re getting food motivated Period And also sorry not to be rude i don’t Like frisbees i think they’re i don’t Like them they’re dangerous Hi nuke here 51 year old first time Father to pepper 15 month uh czech shepherd holy cow love Your stuff patreon When gas gets back to three dollars boy Do i need help I feel you mike i feel ya thank you very Much though stay tuned you can get a lot Out of just the youtube mike Coming in hot you got that right Kristoff Andy the real basic training aspect is Repetition True When the dog knows what to do and the Expectation is clear then you build the Power most people don’t have the Dedication to build the repetition That’s a great point so a lot of times People will repeat something 25 times 50 times 100 times and the dog does it And the dog does it again and again and Again and again and then then they go
Got it what’s next I Will not stop training heal Until i never need my dog to heal again An elite Professional level basketball player Will never stop practicing free throws When they retire they’ll probably stop But No matter how good of a basketball Player you are You are never so good to where you just Don’t need to practice free throws again Quarterback They will never stop practicing Basic plays Because that’s where it’s at just Because you’ve done something and the Dog’s done it it doesn’t mean you’re Good it’s like hey let’s work on heal Today no no he’s got heal i don’t want To work on heal i want to do this that The other boom bing bong all this fancy Stuff Bring the dog out Oh my god that heel needs so much work You have to find the beauty In the small things in the process If you’re trying to sprint to the finish Line Training and working a dog and handling A dog probably isn’t for you I don’t want to get to the finish line I want to stay right i want to build
Everything piece by piece brick by brick And i enjoy that and my dog enjoys that Repetition is definitely king 90 degrees here in ontario yeah john It’s been pretty hot here as well Love your videos always learning from You thank you emily the foundation that You put on lincoln has brought Everything together one of my Patrons turned client just bored and Trained her german shepherd Makes me start to understand the art of Dog training doing lots of heal with Breaks of course but there Is a risk to overdue Um no ashley there’s no risk to Overdoing Your practice on heel as long as there Isn’t like uh like pressure heavy Sessions You know what i mean so if a dog bam bam Bam yeah you could overdo that really Quick but the way that you’re doing Things no no but every once in a while Ashley if it’s possible it’s cool to Give the dog like one day Totally off And then they come back that next day Like really back at it so something just To pepper in Every now and again i’m very new to my Malinois he’s four months old what’s a Good food for him homemade versus store Food i’d buy food from the store
Hi andy when i act like i’m going to hit My dog in protection work he gets scared Any solution Not really man not really i mean you Could hand feed And go like that a bunch to try to Desensitize them to that but That might be a pickle there Personal protection dog must be more Stable because you must be able to live With a protection dog sport dog can live In the crate production dog can’t Protect if it’s in the crate Uh nah i disagree Personal protection dog must be more Stable No No you can have a super nerved out Personal protection dog what if you live By yourself on 100 acres You can have the nerviest sketchiest dog Ever and that’ll still bite someone but As long as he’s cool with you i mean it Doesn’t really need to be solid Now if you want to take the dog Everywhere Yeah but If you never leave the property and you Have that’s one scenario where you Wouldn’t need it a sport dog can live in The crate I mean any dog can live in the crate I’m trying to train my male seven months Old but in new places he’s so suspicious
It’s better to make him focus on me With prayer food drive Yes and no Yes and no so seven months old it’s a Delicate time you don’t want to drown The dog in situations that make them Uncomfortable but yeah look there’s a Time to your dog’s a little sketchy About something there’s a time to Redirect the dog and hey look at the Food hey you want to play and there’s Also a time to just hold the leash and Just let the dog be in that moment and Then just move on so Yes and no there If he’s suspicious i mean Let him be suspicious i mean the dog’s Allowed to be suspicious are you ever Suspicious i mean just A little touch and go there hey andy do You recommend malinois for beginner dog Owners never never my friend never Recommend a malinois for a beginner dog Owner I was it Guys i was in Working dogs and training and a bite Suit and Blah blah blah For years Before i got my first dog for Years I was doing that and i still wasn’t that Prepared
I’m feeding my malpurina pro plan but The vet says that it’s not healthy Unless It’s into sports do you recommend a Certain food no i don’t really recommend A certain food nothing purina does is Good don’t Sorry my opinion I rescued a dog four months ago I think she’s a malinois with a Cypress hunter she’s one year now lovely Dog struggling with separation anxiety She howls when i’m out two hours today Yep sounds like pretty severe separation Anxiety there Definitely not healthy Choose a breeder that competes with Their own dogs period if you’re looking To actually compete with a dog yeah 100 Percent What about a belgian mix with a german Shepherd look i’ve seen them that are Decent but for me still it’s like Why Let a german shepherd be a german Shepherd let a malinois be a malinois But i have seen decent ones exist Shout out sir my idol watching from the Philippines thanks my man I’m in oregon i know you are certified With nera Derrick evans bill woodley Nw working canines are nara certified Decoys here in oregon is there any other
Association besides nara that certifies Decoys nara is the only the only ring Sport uh french ring Sport organization in the united states Uh mondial ring Uh the smra whatever it’s called mondeo Ring certifies mondeo decoys Thank you Can you explain what obedience Is I feel like a lot of people don’t Understand what obedience means Obedience is not sit down he’ll stay Well technically you could say it is If someone’s like hey what obedience Commands does your dog know i’d say He’ll sit down stay but i know what you Mean can you explain what obedience is Uh to me obedience is a mindset With the dog but with the animal In general Obedience is it’s the state of mind that The dog is in it’s the way the dog looks At you it’s the way the dog Feels about you how they work for you How they play with you it’s all you know Obedience It’s It’s kind of a fancy word for like you And your dog are like perfectly on the Same page So yes he’ll sit down stay is gonna you Know gonna be involved Whatever
Um But yeah jordan you’re right it’s it’s Just how the dog views you The environment they’re in and where the Dog sees themselves In the grand scheme of things Everyone knows the the phrase low man on The totem pole if there’s a totem pole In your household and you have you Your partner your kids your dogs I don’t care How much of a fur baby they are I don’t care how much they’re a member Of your family No one loves their dog more than i love My my boyfriend foxy he’s part of our Family for sure No matter how hardcore you are into the Dog The dog’s not more important than the People the people are always ahead of The dog Okay if you can save your dog or your Kid it’s not even a question so the dog Is the lowest on the totem pole unless You have like a A gerbil or something So does the dog see themselves that way Or does the dog think oh ho my dog runs The house I mean i get the joke but they don’t They pay the bills They bought the hou they don’t run Anything that’s fantasy land
Obedience is the dog’s mindset about you The environment and where they fit into It Guys this dog training stuff it’s a lot More complex than fixing problems that You’ve created or he’ll sit down stay i Think that’s what jordan’s trying to get At Um He’ll sit down stay you can have a dog That knows he’ll sit down stay all day And isn’t What i would consider obedient if that Makes sense What’s the first thing you do when Bringing an eight-week old pup home to Set the tone Great question I got a video on youtube but i brought My puppy home from the airport first Thing i do is i pick up my puppy i put Them in a crate in my car i drive them Home i get them out of the car i set Them down and i just let them go around And explore stuff just go around i’ll Take the dog boop i’ll plop the dog Right in my house i’ll let the dog go Explore around the house if the dog’s Like absolutely mortified of like an Inanimate object i’m gonna be like Huh that’s not good so i’m just gonna Kind of assess what the puppy is doing How they’re doing it let them just Feel comfortable horse around
Um and i’m keeping things really light Like that For a week two weeks it’s all about the Crate training and potty training for me At that point and those two things are Like almost one in the same you can’t Really have one Without the other No andy i potty trained my dog i never Crate trained him is that the Not by my definition So I just want the puppy to be clean in the Crate i want the puppy going outside and Immediately thinking hey this is my Chance to relieve myself And then going in the creighton just Knowing it’s chill time so other than That the first week or two i’m just Letting the pup just kind of explore run Around get confident get a lay of the Land just do his thing And you can definitely you know just to Compliment that a little bit i can do a Little hand feeding a little luring but Nothing too crazy In your last live you mentioned Transitioning from kibble to raw how’s That going pros and cons of each yeah Good question matthew i’m gonna make a Youtube video to show you guys but i Just put a couple of my dogs on raw and The transition it was easy i mean they Might have had
A loose stool a little bit but Uh i don’t really notice that It’s been good um the pros are it’s it’s Way healthier the cons are Uh it’s just Harder to maintain Over a period of time like so you know i Have to buy a certain amount of time i Have to keep that in a freezer Uh i have to think ahead and be like Okay i need to go pull out a you know How it five pounds for the next couple Days for my dogs you know one day maybe I’ll forget and be like oh i forgot to Pull the food out so i mean There’s a little maintenance involved But i think the pros definitely outweigh The Cons andy is a working german shepherd a Better breed than a malinois for a Beginner training Not really i mean look Gone to the head you had to get one i Would say german shepherd it’s a little More of a cadillac and a malinois is a Little more of a ferrari But still a real working dog for like a Very beginner person Unless you’re like a really close Apprentice to like a master competitor It’s probably not like the world’s Greatest idea Hey sir shout out what’s up Like the reason a working dog you know
Like a real high caliber dog isn’t a Great idea for a beginner because You’re kind of like figuring out this Diy thing on the fly let me give an Example Um You you have a hole in your drywall And you go you know what I’m gonna learn how to do this myself I’m gonna go on youtube i’m gonna find Uh drywall repair videos and i’m gonna Fix this myself i’ve never done it So you go you spend some time you do Your best you patch up the drywall you Fix it and it’s terrible it’s terrible It’s blatantly obvious it’s all rough The mudding’s uh it’s just almost worse Than having a hole in the wall guess What guess what you can do You know what you can do You can cut You can remove And you can try again You try again You screw it up even worse Cut Take it off try again You could even get to the point you just Demo the whole wall and you just Re-sheet the whole thing Anything diy home projects Anything is fixable Oh man our foundation’s failing people Can fix that our plumbing is screwed
That can be fixed the roof’s caving in That can be fixed The point of the drywall analogy is with A dog You screw it up one time you can’t cut It out and try again now that’s there So you want a breed that’s like very Forgiving very low caliber because You’re going to make mistakes and you Can’t just cut it out and start again Like you could on an inanimate object When you do something with a dog now It’s in there What we got here oh yeah about almost 100 people on here let’s go Everyone on here get you a shirt how Dare you Rock Your boys gear Shout out I love a good shout out watching from The philippines what’s up gilbert thanks For being here How do you train personal protection Get a dog with the right genetics and a Trainer that knows what they’re doing You want how to train you want the dog To Alert on someone and potentially bite Them What’s up love your content man always Enjoy your straightforward point of view We have a six month old male female and A two and a half
Male husky wolf well thank you and Thanks for being here Andy and so socialization with Mela more taking it through crowds and Stuff oh so socialization like Taking a malinois around crowds like a Farmer’s market or home depot around Public yeah it’s definitely socializing The dog people don’t need to touch your Dog and talk to them and like look at Them to be socialized you could walk in A room full of people no one could ever Acknowledge your dog it’s definitely Socializing the dog socializing doesn’t Mean Me touch Socializing a dog with another dog it Doesn’t necessarily mean i’m gonna touch Not a lot of training available in my Area so your content helps me out thank You i’m glad to hear that Raw is the only way It is the best Winter time i used to feed my dutch Shepherd wild beaver skinned of course And yeah very healthy as long as you Just don’t Feed it too much Or the coat Heck yeah more power to you Hey andy what are the differences Between a male and a dutch Striped coat I’ve heard they’re very similar
Or very much the same regards from Mexico what up yeah i mean Dutch shepherds and malinois with Stripes let’s be honest Andy my retriever takes ages to chew Treats and stops to chew when i feed When in heal What do i do so the dogs just chew choo Choo what you do is you get your kibble Like an hour before you train Fill it up with water like you make Yourself like a little bowl of cereal With kibble and water and let that sit For an hour and then it’s gonna Absorb the water and turn into like a Mush and then you can use that Or you could just use boiled chicken Watching from the philippines how do you Teach to turn off the play Well one way teaching a dog to turn off Uh playing is with a really good place Command or what i call climb you get an Elevated dog bed you teach the dog how To get on there and stay for very long Periods of time hour minimum that way Every time the dog gets on the bed they Go up i know what time it is i’m going To be here for a while and it’s going to Be real boring and they if you train it Right they just automatically go into Relax when they get on that bed so That’s one way to do it Got all kinds of questions andy i’ll Throw another one
Out What do you think of pitbull for Personal protection Um can do it Yeah i’ve seen pit bulls do uh personal Protection Definitely Possible All mountain walls are not the same many Different lines which all have very Different traits preach When you get in the details not all are Created equal I’m glad you brought that up because A malin was not A malinois across the board So look technically on paper yes it’s a Breed but you can have A 30 pound malinois You can have a 90 pound malinois that’s Not fat you can have a 90 pound malinois You can have a malinois that doesn’t Want to bite or do bite work you can Have a malinois who’s a world champion In bite work you can have a malinois That’s terrified Of loud noises you can have a malinois That doesn’t care about them at all You can have a malinois That’s carefree you can have a malinois That’s very suspicious of everything So owning a malinois it’s like Hey i have a car Oh you have a car too
Heck yeah we both got cars boom what’s Up we’re the same meanwhile Meanwhile you you got a mclaren and i Got a ford escort like hey man we both Got cars woo let’s go Well they’re both cars you know malinois There’s a malinois but Such a massive difference Across that’s why i hate Generalizing about dogs well malinois or This that and the other I hate You know what i found guys and maybe This is a good way to end you know what I found Like very smart people very dedicated People that i’ve worked with as clients They do years of research before getting A dog online It doesn’t do any good i’m not saying to Not do research but It doesn’t do them any good because you Go And you research or breed like the Malinois and they go Smart Energetic Loyal Protected What What This breed needs a lot of exercise But The information that you’re gonna find
Generally speaking Is is gobbly [ __ ] nonsense that’s why I’m online Shouting trying to get A different opinion out there because I’ve been lucky enough to surround Myself with a lot of trainers and decoys That are a lot better than me Mostly in europe but they’re they’re Mostly they’re better than me so i know What a top level looks like i know what It feels like to be around that and so Just going online and saying malinois Are smart The greatest dog trainers i’ve ever Known You know what they’ve never done they’ve Never described a dog as being smart Never once It’s not something that dog trainers do It’s a pet owner thing to do i’m not Trying to tease you if you do that i’m Really not trying to tease you But that’s totally like a civilian move To oh he’s really smart like oh i heard They’re trainable because they’re smart Like dude smart doesn’t mean Anything to me Like Every dog spot i mean come on Smart Guess what Serial killers are smart too Just because it says just goes oh it’s
Smart like that doesn’t mean okay and Then this is oh my god this this is this Is the worst one you don’t get this Really with a Malinois breeder at least a credible one But You know my mom she likes doodles god Bless her fluffy little dogs she you Know last year was looking at breeders To buy a doodle And um She showed me some of these breeders and I’m just Dying inside the one breeder here’s what The breeder says right the breeder this Is what they said and they’re talking About the the Parents of the litter They’re the friendliest dogs we’ve ever Seen If a breeder describes what they’re Breeding as being friendly Next No These are some of the friendliest dog And every pet owner go oh yeah we like Friendly do you really think a doodle Breeze gonna be like they’re wildly Aggressive Friendly means nothing You know who else can be friendly serial Killers just cause a dog is friendly and Smart and That doesn’t mean anything to me
And that’s not describing actual genetic Traits that’s anecdotal Hey will neutering my dog calm him down You go to the vet the vet goes Oh yeah Oh yeah neutering will calm your dog Down Wow really that’s fascinating Can i see the research please No really i want to see the research Because that’s quite a claim isn’t it That’s a hell of a claim so can i see a Bar graph Can i see a pie chart Can i see some Empirical evidence Any data Crickets Tell me mr vet How do we how does one measure Calming down i’ll tell you what Neutering calming down is It’s Anecdotal at best well my dog really Calmed down after he got neutered That’s just A biased opinion That’s Not facts that’s not so you could say oh Um This isn’t true but if you’re new to a Dog they don’t jump as high So no look we did we set up one contain Controlled situation
We had a dog jump they achieved this Height and then we neutered them exact Same situation exact same set they Couldn’t get over that and we we did That a million times over with a Thousand different breeds and a thousand Different ages so you know neutering They don’t jump as high So That’s just a random example it of Course isn’t true but like you can Measure that You can act calming a dog down from Neutering it What is that Who says that who It’s vet’s fault and if anyone out there Is watching this and is like Oh andy’s making fun of me right now Andy you’re a jerk i’m making fun of the Person that told you that because you Rely on a professional to give you Credible information it’s gonna calm the Doc Who’s evaluating that Who’s the evaluator there You know what i mean guys i don’t know How i got on that tangent but Think about it I should have jumped off when i had a Chance now there’s a million questions Just kidding okay Scrolling Do you use a dog trot or andy pros and
Cons so it’s so like a little like dog Treadmill situation i don’t personally Use them Just because i have Seven Flat wide open fenced acres At my disposal 24 7. so i don’t use them Excuse me but i’m definitely not against People that use them Pros and cons pros you get your dog Some good physical output cons it’s easy To overdo it with that because they have To keep running even if they they don’t Want to i like to have them free so if They want to stop they can You’re the man and you’re the man thanks John exactly research malinois is trash Once you own one total track They’re loyal like it’s just nonsense Talk before i got my dutch shepherd i Looked in the same thing and basically They told me it was if you don’t know What you’re doing it was like owning a Loaded gun I agree with that Brain injury seizures with 107 temp Duchy Thinking of just letting him be a dog Slow with the learning lots of commands Lost all commands still great quality of Life and has fun What should i at least Get on him Like you said let the dog be a dog let
Him go outside regularly take him for a Little walk just just chill let him be Cool I’ll be getting a belgian melon while Four years old Before i get him i’m engaging with him Every week to get close to him things Going great and seems like he’s Submitting to me i’m able to bring him For a walk Without him pulling My worry is only how can i stop him from Barking at a stranger when i bring him Home My neighbor will complain about the Barking Well daniel i’m a build guy not a stop Guy so if the dog it sounds like the Dog’s reactive So go back to the beginning of this chat And i answered a very similar question You need to establish Your training outside of that situation And then apply it don’t worry about Stopping a dog from doing something Though just think about how you can Build can you talk a little bit about Training The stomach flip what do you mean julie Like what Oh yeah i think i know what you mean i Think i know what julie means So I’m really careful about something
Called bloat it’s when a dog takes in Too much water too much food at one time Their stomach swells up so big that it Flips over and unfortunately the dog Passes away when that happens so i think Julie’s asking about like if you’re Really exercising the dog and training With food like don’t you have to be Careful If i’m training with food and the dog’s Eating they’re not giving a ton of like Physical exertion it’s more here if your Dog’s really really out of breath you Should not let them have a lot of water Even a little don’t let them have water For like a half hour they will be fine i Promise you Uh but training with food being careful About bloat yeah you got to be careful If you’re feeding your dog and you’re Giving them water and they’re exercising A lot at that same time you got to be Really careful there Watched a group of people walking into Petco for training god bless them You know jordan here’s the thing Are you gonna get world-class dog Training at petco You sure aren’t but jordan Let me throw this at you I would argue That the average civilian Taking your dog to petco for training Is probably better
Than doing zero training Because i i’ve come across this a lot Jordan in my career and i used to Totally just crap all over petsmart and Their trainers and laugh at them and Whatnot And yeah look You’re not going to find world-class dog Training there but i’ve found The discipline that it requires out of a Client is a good start so for example Someone goes to me Oh andy i want to train my dog i got all These problems but yeah petsmart now They can’t help me out there Show up Every class do everything they say to a T Follow their whole program exactly And then tell me because yeah to you and Me jordan we we may go Losers But To that person It might be good training to them And it may just give them the discipline Well no i stopped going to the classes Because it wasn’t really helping no you Got to keep showing up you have to keep Going you have to follow the trainer’s Advice blindly until the end and then You can establish if they’re no good Problem with petsmart and petco training The problem is they can only use
One half of operant conditioning Because With the corporate policy You cannot use negative reinforcement You cannot use positive punishment So that leaves you with the only two Quadrants left And here’s the thing about an All-positive trainer If you’re training a hundred people To train their dogs all positive It’s gonna be really tough For those people to like totally mess Their dogs up Using food and praise only Of course it’s not complete dog training You won’t get the highest results with That but it’s hard to really mess that Up If you train with negative reinforcement And use prong collars and train a Hundred people Now a lot of things can get messed up How you gonna mess a dog up positive What you feed them with your hand wrong I mean what what’s the harm in that Prong collar e-collar negative Reinforcement positive punishment Oh the margin for error is is massive on That so all positive trainer and the Pest trainer Maybe get mad at me but It’s very safe Sure you won’t get results like me but
You can do something This is sit no good sit this is down Okay good down all right now practice That at home I mean you get something Do you give a monthly flea and tick what Health checks do you do on your dogs i Just did blood work Typically every 18 months on that yeah It’s a pretty good regiment You know my lady takes care of that Stuff a little bit more so You know i kind of rely on her for that Hey andy uh my lady keeps barking at Strangers and goes into a fearish state If they approach us in such moments she Doesn’t listen nor believe in me to Protect guide her through it tips are Appreciated I guess depends how old the dog is too Three four times a week i’d have that Dog around people for a meaningful Period of time that ignored the dog do Not look at the dog don’t address the Dog you need to have that dog around People regularly That don’t acknowledge the dog in any Way they don’t look at her They don’t they pretend like a dog isn’t There those are the kind of people you Need Anyway i follow your way of heel Training on youtube fantastic and he’s a Quick learner awesome glad to hear that
I seen the trainer jacking the dog up by The harness so maybe not all positive Ah The truth comes out at petco doesn’t it Doesn’t it You know what happens jordan and Everyone else You know what happens With all positive training You’re limited On the tools that you can develop and Use You are limited and i’m speaking Factually Because i’m referring to the four Quadrants of operant conditioning Science If you don’t know those four quadrants How dare you But you’re limited To 25 maybe 50 percent Of what makes up operant conditioning Aka How a dog learns So what i found like an old positive Trainer or petsmart or petco or you know Whoever You’re limited With the tools you can use and a lot of Times it causes frustration A lot of times it with the trainer It causes them to be a little frustrated Because they’re not using the whole Of what makes the dog tick that they’re
Not using all of it so they’re limited And they get a little frustrated with The dog Whether they believe it oh it’s not Working or he’s still doing that i Repeated it all week at home like you Told me is he’s still the exact same Oh my gosh yeah well you got to try they Get frustrated with the owners oh it’s The owner’s fault they’re not doing what I tell them it’s the owner’s fault it’s The dog’s fault he’s really stubborn He’s a puppy and he And they’re blaming and they’re a little Frustrated I know i’m generalizing but Thank you andy i always thought behavior Was trained not by surgery You’re welcome You’re so right it’s a real current Trend to say breeds don’t matter And it harms the dogs malinois and other High drive breeds Could fit with a beginner but it’s too Risky a lot of risk there How do you think negative reinforcement Can lead to aggression and a male If you don’t do it right For sure A lot of things can lead to aggression In a malinois if you don’t do it right But negative reinforcement is not to be Screwed around with it’s not to be diy On the fly it’s not to check out one
Youtube video and then get in there with Your dog how many how many videos do i Have on youtube Hundreds at this point how many videos Do you see me where i’m putting pressure On dogs and correcting dogs No None and there’s a reason for it because Negative reinforcement and positive Punishment is it something to be diy it Isn’t something to be played with Because all it takes is one time of Doing it wrong and then you’re screwed It’s not like the drywall example where You patch it you screw it up so then you Pull it off and you repatch it can’t do That with a dog in a prong collar put a Prone collar on misuse it you can’t just Take it off put it back on and start Fresh like you can with an inanimate Object oh we got this piece of furniture From ikea let’s assemble it up we Assembled it totally wrong well let’s Take it all apart and try again that’s An inanimate object with a dog You apply negative reinforcement badly One time That could stick in the dog’s mind Forever Hey andy you’re awesome you’re awesome How often and how long does a stay Training should last to perfect it How long is a stick um i don’t get the Question really if you’re teaching a dog
To stay Like my basketball analogy The dog can never be too good at stay a Basketball player never stops practicing Free throws a dog trainer never stops Practicing stays with their dog After a couple weeks your dogs have a Pretty good concept of what it is but Maintaining it and furthering it it’s a Lifelong thing Did you let your dog walk without a Leash outside with other dogs or people Um sometimes yeah I worked at a shelter where literally a Third of the dogs were malinois Disgusting most of them full of behavior Problems a lot more dangerous to Consider except yeah it’s horrific i Actually just got a voicemail A few days ago and it was someone saying Hey um We got a malinois we weren’t ready for It it bit a kid and now we need to get Rid of it any Suggestions terrible Terrible terrible terrible terrible Terrible terrible Thank you wonderful to hear from a Professional like yourself thank you Emily this might be the last one here i Gotta go train hey andy my six month old Mal knows how to drop and out the ball When she knows or sees there’s a second Ball how do i get it out the one ball
Without trying to grab the item The same time as me i think i get your Question so when you’re talking about Training switch if you haven’t watched My switch video on youtube check that Out You need to get the dog to predict Another toy will be procured so you need To Accomplish outing the dog off the one Toy without them ever seeing the second Toy Introduce other languages like heal and Opie huh Any time that doesn’t but the ball thing That said don’t worry about the the heal And opa the ball thing If you have to show the dog a second toy To get them to drop the first toy you’re Not ready You’re not ready yet you need to get the Dog to predict out And then another ball comes out so when You say out they spit it and they’re Looking for your hand to go get the Second toy Then you can start rewarding with the Same toy Yo i’m outta here i’m gonna go train buy My merch Figure it out Links in the description probably not to This video but my other videos That i do
He buys patreon.com andy krueger we will See you all next week happy training Mellow was over exercised Welcome
