For the first time in a year ive been away from the dogs for more than a few hours. We bring them out one by one to see their reaction to me coming home for the first time in 4 days.
The loyalty of Malinois. I got sick a couple weeks ago. All 3 did not leave my side. I slept solid for 2 days. They never left, for anything!! My son tried to get them to potty & eat and drink. No movement!! He then tried to leash Kaya, she growled and showed her teeth. She was not leaving. Finally I forced myself to get out of bed. Truely the best. Love them!!
For me it was the speed that totally impressed me. She was so fast. It was like less than a second from when she pasted the door frame to when she was in your arms.
🎵 Now I've had the time of my life No, I never felt like this before Yes I swear, it's the truth And I owe it all to you 🎵 Then she leaps. He makes the catch.
That grumpy boy reminds me of my old mal, he was always super grumpy and didn't want to say hi to you if you had been away for "too long"! You had to apologize to him and then you could cuddle. I miss you Casper
It is so awesome to see someone who understands that not all dog homecomings are like exploding rainbows! Some dogs are very sensitive and get stressed and out of sorts and take some time to come out of that place, and sadly, are judged because of that. (Many shelter dogs are like this, they just shut down and it can even look like aggression, but it's fear.) So thank you for allowing each dog to be themselves and unconditionally loving them; you are very special! Blessings...LL101
My dachshund’s first reaction when I brought my baby home from the hospital was he took the baby’s blanket when I wasn’t looking, peed on it, and then hid under the bed! I learned then that dog’s feelings get hurt too. They were best friends after that one episode.
And you know why? ...because he treats gis dogs like dogs, fair and loyal. He understands their language and needs. He works with them as working dogs should be worked and he doesn't humanize them. He us a smart trainer and I love his interaction with his dogs. Just awesome.
These are great videos. So good to see. I learn new ways to teach my 2 yr old Poodle,but most important, I believe, is that those who watch here learn quickly that a Belgian Malinois is a LOT MORE DOG than most people can even begin to handle.
Yes, I had a lab the best girl, so smart. She did the same thing-especially if she wasn’t acknowledged 1st!!! She lived till she was 18. Miss her every single day!
At the beginning I thought: Why does my puppy not love me like your dogs love you? But honestly, I know why... You trust and love them, and they trust and love you. When Kaladin gave that little growl, you were understanding, where I would have been probably a bit upset. When the bitey dog needs to let out his frustration, you offer a toy instead of prohibiting biting without offering an outlet... In the other videos of you I see, you do not ask/expect your dogs to work for you without getting "paid" where other people want their dogs to work because "they are the alpha" or just out of pure love... You don't demand that, and that's what gives you all of their love. But well. I have my puppy only for 2 months now, I have plenty of time to gain her love and trust and prove myself worthy to be her leader.
It took me months of earning my GSD's trust and I got him at 8 weeks old. Then he went through all those crazy phases which offered me more opportunities to earn his trust and respect. He is 3 years old now and and there is nothing he wont do for me, even when I do not have a toy or treat, he will try his hardest, even if he is not successful, only because I asked him to, of course if he is unsuccessful well, that's okay too. He is an amazing dog.
@@AdventureswithLycanmyGSD so nice to hear! And it encourages me that with time it will be the same for me and my pup. Thank you! I wish all the best to you and your GSD!
@@menwithven8114 I got a hound 🙈 Yes, it was probably not my best idea to get a breed that is used to work independently from their owner even when kilometres away as a first dog. Her mother hunts wild boar, her father actually bear and wolf! So yeah. Got quite a handful for a first dog. Border collie would also be a challenge! What about a working line lab, to have the balance between what you already had with a lab (chill character) and what you would like about a border collie (working drive)?
@@menwithven8114 T Terexx is right, there are two lines of labs, the show line that tends to be bigger and lazier, and then the working labs that are sporting dogs and for my lifestyle they are easier as they can keep up with me as opposed to having to slow down for my dog
@@menwithven8114 How cool! Border Collies are really dog world Einsteins. 14 Commands in a month? I think I rather need 14 days for a new command 😂 My plott puppy is not super intelligent (though I wouldn't call her stupid either), but now at 7 months I have at least taught her a few things. What amazes me about the Plott is her tracking ability though. I do track friends with her for fun and she can do rather long tracks even on rainy or super windy days.
I had to put my GSD and Viszla in a kennel for a weekend once many years ago. When I went to pick them up, the reactions couldn't be more opposite! Vizsla was over joyed. GSD cranky AF - and for a week at home whenever I entered a room he'd give stinkeye and leave! Won him round eventually - and they never went to a kennel ever again.
I just love how assertive and calm you are .. thanks for those videos!! I really hope people can understand and respect better the nature of they're dogs
Is AMAZING how all of the SWEETHEARTS are show UNCONDITIONAL LOVE for Daddy and they missed him😥❤❤❤🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕❤❤❤❤SO MUCH JOY AND HAPPINESS! THIS IS WHY I LOVE DOGS AND ANIMALS GENERALLY! THEY NEVER LET YOU DOWN AND NO MATTER WHAT THEY NEVER STOP LOVING THEIR HUMANS!
I’ve had big dogs all my life and I’m 47 now. By far, my German shepherds are always the ones who seem like a combination of human toddler, a little dash of forest gump… a truckload of love and companionship! It’s weird how an animal who can be so damn smart can also be so damn dense at times! But again, just like the rest of my family, so it works!! I’m pretty sure if the dogs could talk, any home with multiple pets and a German shepherd, the GS would always be the one trying to get their parents to admit they love him most!!😂
You can have this, too! I've been lucky enough to cultivate friendships like this with my big dogs all my life. Just takes watching and leaving room for each other's idiosyncrasies. Much easier with dogs than people, but I'm learning!
I just love how good you are with your fur babies and really wish you were near me because my boy is an absolute jerk to other dogs and i could really use the help.
there's beauty in seeing how well one knows each dogs personality to anticipate their needs. Who needs calm and who needs excitement or a ball. And the potty break. The relationship is clearly visible and just beautiful.
As a owner of 3 Malinois. Every week I have to travel. I am away only 1 night. Normally I take my girl Kaya, my 1st Malinois. But every now and then I am not able to take her. When I come all 3 are exactly like the 1st 3 in this video. And after Kaya her love from me. She will ignore me for about an hour. Then she will sit my lap and just give love. GREAT DOGS!!
Aw at Kal being upset that you left him, I have an upcoming surgery so I'll be in hospital for a few days, I wonder how my service dog will take it lol. Hopefully she doesn't try to launch like Alex did 🤣
I remembered something that happened to me just like the start of the video. I had a dog when my parents split, but as he was a Labrador used to have a big place to stay in a big house, he wouldn't fit well in the small appartment my mother was moving to, so I couldn't take him. I visited somewhat often, but one day my father went to another city for work. He didn't take the dog, so my grandma used to feed him (her house was accross the street, so she was ok with it). From then, on, he started having less and less time with people, and an ever increasing time alone, aside from the visits my grandma made to make sure he was well cared for, and the cleaning worker that swept his area up. I was taking the separation with some difficulty, furthermore, I had too many activities that my parents deemed "necessary to worn me down" (I have ADHD, but at the time no one cared enough to believe me, or take me to run tests), so I was always mentally and physically drained, which caused me to visit him even less. One thing I was always afraid of, is that if I spent too much time away, he would eventually forget me. I had a great relationship with him, and even if he wasn't the most well trained dog, he was perfect on leash (to me, at the time at least) and was never violent towards anyone or any other dogs, (except one older black labrador, which he really didn't like for some reason and bit him for my surprise and to the other owner as well (he wasn't harmed, we were just jumpscared by his aggression)). Anyway, one day I went to visit him on a whim, I said fuck it to all the other crap my parents assigned to me and wanted to check on him. He saw me from his "corral's" gate, and didn't come running as usual. He kinda got up came walking to the gate, I was weirded out, but there were no signs of aggressive behavior so I just thought he might be sad or tired. I pet him, he didn't care much, then went back to his dog house (a wooden dog house that I bought and carried home with my father, from a guy under a bridge in my town (he had several houses he made, they were cheap and very sturdy). I followed, as I always did before. I went to fit myself on the entrance of the house and sit beside him, like I always did and he didn't scoot over for me to fit. I was starting to get a little upset about this behavior, so I started talking to him: "Hey buddy... What's up? Don't you remember me? What happened?" And as I talked I pet him on the head and neck as he liked, and he just growled, softly, but truly. It wasn't a random noise, or any huffing and puffing. It was a low, tired growl. That shit made me feel like the most inhumane being on earth. It made me feel like I failed him, because I abandoned my best friend, and despite wanting to be around, I couldn't/wasn't able to Because of that, he distanced himself so much from me to a point where he considered harming me for petting him. Although I was still 13 or 14 at the time, I felt every bit responsible for this, and cried like a child. I loved that pup, but I fucked up. To everyone else that owns any pets, don't make the same mistake. Cherish them, and stand by them. No matter what. They're the purest beings on this retched planet. It's starting to rain here, I should get going.
My boyfriend and I have a pup who always growls at him when he comes home after being gone for a few days😅 He gets over it pretty quickly after some pets and play time.
I’m am just finding this out about dogs and their emotions. I knew that they get sad and won’t eat sometimes but I didn’t know some get mad or aggressive or act out of their usual. GOOD TO KNOW and know the WHY too 🥺🙏🏼 thank you for sharing
1. When my 1st dog was young and we took our 1st obedience class, the teacher remarked "never apologise to your dog". I didn't trust her from that point on, and did go back to her classes. I remembered this when u apologised to your boy 2. I miss my dogs so much, it really hurts in a deep and silent part of me. I don't and won't talk about it with anyone IRL,, it's just too deep and personal.
Loyalty in the dog world is priority . Those dogs love you so much, man, they can't imagine life without you. Keep telling the world that not just anyone can groom and maintain the beautiful, intense Malinois.
The licker attacks are great!!! Edit Kal is the same as my boy,he holds a grudge. And let's you know he isn't impressed. My shepherd cattle dog mix is just loud and excited when I come home. She gets mad as heck at anyone else and acts like she's gonna eat them 😒 🙄
Just by this video you can tell how demanding this breed is for ANYONE!!!.... if YOU have to face this i STAND no chance man..... thank you for all your videos and info sharing!!!
One of my field labs says hello like Magnus the Magnut. Identical, except my Lab won't chew you to bits. He's really high drive!!! Wants to train a bit much. Basically he is like managing Mal energy.
My shih tzu also is mad at me when I'm away for a long time. He glares at me and refuses to come near me. If someone else is with me, he cuddles up with them and stares at me. Usually I can break his anger by getting him to play with me and then is all cuddles, but damn that dog can hold a grudge.
