How I PLAY With My MALINOIS! 

OH YEAH WE TRAINING !

There's nothing better than playing with your dog like this. It bleeds over to their training, too, because they enjoy being with you and want to work with you. Building strong, confident dogs with strong relationships. Great video!

PRO EXCERCISE PLAY! This how it's done!!...where can we purchase a Green Oasis like that! 😃😉😁

The current Shepherd I have now is from working bloodlines and when I got her at 10 weeks old, she had so much play drive at such a young age she'd constantly push toys into my leg instinctively. Such a joy to train when they're like that. At 3 years old now she'll literally punch you in the stomach with a tug. Lol..

Thanks Andy

That’s makes so much sense….. love from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Thumbs up before watch!!! I was waiting for this video!!! thanks Andy

Ok. I’m watching all your old stuff. Bro - leadership, thanks for training me 😂

Dope video 💪🏾

I don't recommend biting your Mal... 😏 love this!!

Oh yeah!! Mastering the art of being the most interesting thing in the room!! Easier said than done, but you make the journey FUN!!⚔️

Excellent!

My malinois/ Tervuren plays just the same! 😂

My dog demands to ‘play’ all the time! I incorporate training with play. He works then we play together! We play Tug, ball, frisbee, chase, hide and seek!

This was a great video Andy. Simple dog behaviour can tell us so much, since they’re puppy. Jasper is so focused, so precise in all his movements. The eye contact is remarkable. You have done an extremely well job with your dog.

need to work on this today :D thanks andy

Drops some hoodies for sure!!!

This was ridiculously helpful. I have a 4 month old tug-obsessed puppy who is going to have a blast starting today. Thank you!

Great work.. The power of play with a dog is real and to me one of the most important things to do. My 15 month Rotty goes nuts when I bring to an open field off leash with an ecollar which I rarely use (just a back up for recall) i let her go ballistic playing with me with a ball and tug does laps but is engaged to me the entire time. She doesn't pay attention to anything else. It's amazing and definitely satisfies her big time play drive.

Love this!

Love these short ,simple, great, fun training videos !!! Thanks Andy !

Thank you! I love Jasper and seeing your amazing relationship. Inspired to play harder with my GSD.

Love this! I'm guilty of spinning, so hand smacked and point taken. Great tips, thanks😁

Nice.I need to get one of those bad boy tugs for my dog. I have incorporated a lot more play into our day recently. Definitely a cool idea. Gets him into me and engaging. Plus I get a good workout too.

Andy! This boy’s energy is OUT OF CONTROL! You better harness it up on your way to the dog park !

Loved this!

Wow. What a well trained doggy. ❤

Hi Andy... I love playing with my rottie! And do it pretty much like you do. I never thought about running backwards though, but that makes a lot of sense - new game tomorrow - thanks!!

Amazing work ! Thanks Andy

drop some hoodies on the store andy!

FREAKIN awesome Andy

Drop.The.Merch!!!!🙏🏽🙌🏽🤞🏽

epically good video. awesome work, awesome dog. brilliant man. thanks and well done

So fun! I can't believe the results I am seeing with my two little fluff balls following your videos!!! Thank you for everything Andy!!!

Man, I have learned so much watching your videos in preparation to when I finally find a house I like with plenty of area for a dog to train and play with. Thank you for all these tips!

this has transformed our playtime with our girl - love the video Andy!! Can't wait to combine your new fetch video with this play style! So much fun, so much bonding 👏

I got myself a Dutch shepherd and I have been learning from you and a few other content creators on how to train and care for my pup... He's smart, really smart, the biggest challenge I am faced with is that my wife has a boxer shep mix that tends to get my dogs adhd better than I can, this was helpful. Thankyou

Awesome! Free training!

Great video Andy Whenever I lose motivation for training I just watch one of your videos and off I go again! Thanks so much.

Thanks a lot…I was really confused about how to play with my dog and no one gave me a good answer.

5 stars awesome video and I learnt a lot. Lessons learned!! Thanks

Another great video! Would be definitely interested if you had hoodies in your merchandise 🤙🇨🇦

What up Andy! Luv what I am seeing!!! Will put that into my dogs training schedule. Patreon Pierce..

Good video! I’ll those tips

Just found you today and we love you we just got a Belgium malinois and love learning together!

Awesome!!!!!!!!!yes. Let’s go!!!!!

Hey Andy! Would you be able to provide a link to that toy? Looks awesome and would love to get it! Thanks!

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Love this! Andy can you help us teach our puppy to go backwards with progressions and regressions?

Good Fluffy

Spot on. Very beautiful. You inpire me.

Andy! Love your vids. Question, have you had any experience with bloat personally/client if so your thoughts on training a breed prone to it if training with food if not toy driven? 🙏

It has been amazing of ur materials , it is facts , simple and honest. We need someone like ru to teach us humans to enjoy our dogs. If I may have suggested the tools u r using , mostly the pet shops r not available, could u make it happen, so everyone can buy from u, think of business to u , thank you

Ok I will give this one a try. I have a very specifoc really small issue this might fix it.

Andy love the video just wanted to know how you would end the lesson

Thanks for this. I think I have gotten seriously into training, but have skimped on playing. That will change now. That looks like a good tough toy. Can you refer me to that product?

Thanks a lot for this video! Love the approach of the play based on the genetics of the dog. One question please: Why you have his name as the "out" command? Is it a specific cause that it serves?

drop the cinci ring sport hoodie, ill wear even though im a pittsburgh guy

Incredible video! I couldn't discern while he is trotting after you but not biting the toy, is that part of the "Jasper" command, or did you set it by default that he follows that position until the GO command

Doesn't it get confusing when "Jasper" is out? Or is Jasper every command that's relevant in the context? Gonna go play w my dog now ;)

Great to see you again thanks for the Input: Please keep on growing bredda & if i am allowed to ask for something. Please give us another 5Min Challenge they are great =) And oh i see you got youre mic reset cheers

Hey Andy, Woohoo! Oh yeah 👍 Play = Engagement = Focus and Attention. Thanks for sharing another inspiring dog training video. 🙏 I have literally just started doing this (on day 3 or 3rd session) with our family 6-month old male GSD (Miko) using rope tug toy before I saw this video. I hope (being ambitious here) one day he can play as well as your Jasper even though I can only train him before and after work. I use the following commands: "Get It" to give permission to grab the toy "Give" to give back the toy (I think you use Jasper's name) "Finish" to end the session Still work in progress. But we are getting there. I heard you saying "chase". Is that what you use for him to chase you or the other way around? I thought it would be useful to have specific command rather than just run away (to be chased) and run towards him to do the opposite, which also works 😉

Any chance of me achieving this if my 9month GSD interacts/plays with several other dogs at "day care" while I'm at work. I also have a 2year old GSD and they all go out in a groups of 5 ish others and fetch 2x a day. At home, I know im no competition, so other then hikes and down time the 2 are mostly separated and all training and play is individual. The 2 year old is fantastic. With the younger, I am really struggling building drive and engagement. I am conflicted on if im dealing with genetics and temperament or if this predominately a self created problem. Since no issues with my older female I think its mainly genetic and even if I had another option he would never have the drive. Unfortunately, while at work I don't have any other options. I know this is older but would really appreciate your advice. Thanks so much! Your energy and content is some of the best i have found.

How do you do this with a ball and not get your fingers bit? My Shepard won’t bite and hold.

Okay Andy no argument what you say about playing is correct but I got two "what abouts". Not all breeds of dogs are Malinois; what if you own a Pappion? Or a Chihuahua? Second "what about"; I'm 73 and have spinal stenosis. I can only wish I could run like you do. My favorites are heelers, Australian Cow Dogs. (Don't turn your back on em.)

Hi Andy - A lot of people have asked where to purchase your cylinder bite roll, but I don't see any links or replies. I'd love to get one for my pup (the size and depth is perfect for our bite loving Mals) and cannot find them anywhere, including Etsy. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. PS - You should carry it in your store!

Where did you buy that tug?

Thank you so much for your content! I have a 14 week old Belgian malinois/German shepherd mix. She is mouthy towards me, but it is a play bite. She does not do it towards strangers or anyone who she hasn’t been around. I don’t play rough with her. Should I be concerned? I will have her on a college campus and I need her to be very obedient. She has learned to sit, place, go to her kennel, and we are working on heel and retrieving. I think she will be a very good dog. Do you have any tips for this? Will she grow out of it?

can you recommend a trainer for me to take her too in the NYC area ??????

My female GSD is nervous, I know you answered this already. That's just how most female GSD are, but could this type of play session boost confidence on a timid dog? As well is there a specific here on RU-vid or patreon that could show me a way for my GSD to have a full grip of her tug toy, bc she just uses her front teeth? Thank you for all the support!

What is the bite toy called

Nice, where is the best place to find toys like the one you use?

Hi brother! Amazing work, beautiful dogs! We have an Orange Collar Mal. Do you do any training of peoples dogs?

Quick question. Should my malinios sleep in his crate ? Or is it fine for him to sleep in a dog bed in the house ?

Love it...try to do the same but I have an xl bully and his out commander is non existence when it comes to toys...any advice??

You have any videos out getting the out/ release….my mali is an shit when it comes to out with tug or ball

Andy, how do YOU deal with resource guarding? Should I take the object away to show I'm the boss or do tou think it has nothing to do with the hierarchy?

Mr Andy, what you feed your Mal?

Hi Andy, I just bought 6 Malinois, 8 weeks old and need some advice please. Is there a way I could contact you?

Andy, I have a question for you. My malinois is almost 5 months. I have a huge problem. We usually walk around without a leash and she always runs away in order to greet her friends. So I'm frustrated by that. My question is How do I handle this ¿

i need one of those tug toys for my dog where can i find one?

What is the toy?

I would love to know of a place like you have there. Is it your private property?

So many people with family pet dogs, chase after their dog that has gotten loose, the dog is having one hell of a great time because it's game on and the owners are getting so frustrated. I tell them to run away from your dog, it will follow you, they look at me as if I'm high, 😂I repeat no seriously, this is a game your dog is playing with you, if you run from it, it will chase you instead and you'll be able to catch it. . . . .People just don't understand their dogs.

Bro shop pls mordedores. Shop online mordedores pls.

I was having fun running and playing with my dog but i had to quit, i was walking into the mall and just couldn't help myself and pissed on the fire hydrant out front, then a month later the mall cops threw me out cause some female complained cause i sniffed her crotch, i think dogs are onto something and trying to teach us how to tell the difference between a male and female and in these current days its getting really hard to the men from women hehe but after i tried to lick my balls i had to quit playing with my dog😂
