I RESCUED A CRAZY BELGIAN MALINOIS PUPPY - 6 MONTH UPDATE 

Thank you very much, you'll be seeing posts at least weekly from now on. And yes, she is!!

Thank you very much. She seems to have had some basic obedience training already and I have just been building on that.

I was just telling that to Latrice! She comes over for a few days but that's enough for both of them as Gretel just can't relax she always has to be bothering / playing with her. Yes, very sad about Hans, he was only 8 and it all happened very suddenly. Just about killed me.

@@FreddySherman Know how you feel. Wife and I had a 16-year old German Shepherd that passed away years ago. Strangely that breed is so human in their mannerisms and intelligence.

@@loudmouthnewyorker2803 I agree. He was my first dog, I never had a dog as a kid, only cats. And they bond so much to you, he was truly a velcro dog. I cry every day. We called him Hansel, so she is Gretel and that way I think of him every time I say her name.

@@FreddySherman All good Freddy. Give as much love to the 2 you have now.

Thank you! She just turned 2 this month, I will be posting another video next week! Thanks for watching and please subscribe!

So how should I do that? How should I correct her to sit on the first command? Yes, she needs more training to hold the command, she knows release words but does not wait for them, unless I repeat stay, stay, stay. Thank you, I appreciate the guidance.

@@FreddySherman For example, when you're training Gretal w/ a leash or long line, and you say "sit" but she's still standing, that warrants a correction b/c she didn't do what you asked. You would take the leash to pop the collar (physical correction) and say "no" (verbal correction) then restart saying "sit" - one command only. She may need help and you can lure her in a sit position, then when the behavior is done (she's sitting) mark that behavior with "yes" (or your marker word) and give a treat (praise "good girl"). Dog needs to understand what they did wrong and what you want them to do. Balanced training includes rewards for doing the right thing and corrections for not complying. This will lead to good obedience and a strong bond. Be patient and be consistent. There's a dog trainer I highly respect and he also owns a Belgian Malinois. Check out Robert Cabral's RU-vid channel - there are so many tutorials and training lessons (including how to teach stay) that can help you out. Good luck

@@dontclickme17 Great info, thank you very much!!!!! I do like watching Cabral's videos. We have had a trainer coming for the past two months, working on basic obedience.

@@FreddySherman I know it’s been a few months and I’m wondering if anything has changed. But it’s definitely important to have them obey first time told. You give the command, pop the collar on a slip lead, physically push down her butt, then praise with a snack or their favorite reward. And then do it about 67,000 times and they will get it. But the Belgian malinois is considered the most intelligent dog breed in the world, even over boarder collies. I hope you get him in to some dog sport or have him do some kind of job because those dogs are athletic workaholics.

@@hermitwatcher8997 Improvement but I should be doing more daily training to help. She's almost two years old and does listen better. Energy level and drive are through the roof, it can be overwhelming. She is crazy friendly towards all people, most days we spend some time walking around downtown Palm Springs just meeting people.
