Taking My MALINOIS OUT IN PUBLIC! 

Off leash is great if you can’t do it. I have my 15 month old Dobie off leash all the time. She’s our third now and the first one I would trust to walk off leash. But then I’ve spent more time training her than with my other two.

@@cruithin4773 I'm not sure if I would trust mine. All the top trainers say don't do it. You just dont know. That one squirrel or rat or cat can send them charging.

@@samali4327 I’ve had mine go after a rabbit as well as a squirrel when she’s on a release. When I gave her the recall she immediately came back. But that was after a lot of training. I went from a leash to two different length long lines and performed 400 recalls before doing one recall off leash. The first time in a park off leash that she ran after a squirrel was nerve racking. But she did recall. My trainer at Beyond the Leash never walked his Malinois on a leash. In our area that’s against the local bylaw. But on the odd occasion when someone has called bylaw and they show up, they’ve always let the issue go as they know how Eric’s dogs are and that he has them under control. Before training there, I would never have thought it possible to walk a Dobie off leash. I just felt from my own experience with my others that their prey drive was too high. But my current Dobie is spot on with her recalls. My only concern with her recalls is me getting my knees taken out with her running straight into her sit position and hitting my legs. It may look good. But it doesn’t feel good. But then that’s her drive. If she ever didn’t respond properly to even a single recall, it would be back on the leash for a minimum of two weeks. But to date I’ve not had to do that.

@@cruithin4773 thanks for that. My corso does come back to me when he sees me walk or run in the other direction. The only thing I'm worried about is him approaching the wrong dog and.being attacked. He's just turned 1 two days ago.il keep practicing on the long line.

Thanks

😆🙌🏻

Thank you very much 🙏🏼

Yep. I agree completely. I get my best ideas from Andy. I think his decoy experience makes him unique and especially insightful. I'm a Patreon member. He took our heel to the next level especially the proofing.

Thank you

🙏🏼

Yeah. I wonder if people around them had any idea who Andy and Freddy are and what they are capable of and the level they train to.

@@cynthiaaustin1763 Right?!?!

🙏🏼

Thanks

Thanks

🙏🏼

🤮😆

@@AndyKrueger Public water bowl? Yuck! Mine drinks at the cattle trough. But then she's an Australian Cattle Dog and vaccinated for leptospirosis. Thanks for sharing.

Yes. This is my preferred style of heeling. The focused Heel is great just not my preference.

🙌🏻

Why?

@@AndyKrueger mine is 11 months old and is leash reactive..many dogs here in UK are having the same issue. There is Southend training here that are addressing the issue. I would like to see how you and your dog walk past other dogs. I know your will ignore them but what do you do if another dog is reactive.

Just personal preference 🙏🏼

I use flat collars and slips leads until my obedience is perfect. Then I begin to incorporate the prong and ecollar when I’m happy with how my training is built.

@@AndyKrueger if the obedience is perfect with the the "basic" tools why is it needed the use of prong collar afterwards? For the usage of the e collar i understand that it helps for the communication from distance, but for the prong collar?

Yes 👍🏻

Heard a sheepdog trainer say his dog's go to the crate after a lesson because they sit in the crate and think about what just transpired and are quicker to retain what they just learned.

Informal? I never work him for more than 40-60 min

We take our Dobie to the outdoor mall and to shops that allow her in. Being able to do so makes all the time training well worth it. I’m sure we’ve angered more than a few shoppers when they’re ignored by the staff who want to great our Dobie.

I would not use a muzzle. He is not aggressive.

I used to have my dutchie carry his frisbee in places that were crowded. He wouldn't give it up for anything and it's pretty hard to bite with it in your mouth lol. I have a mal now. Off leash. Learned something important the other day at the farm store. An elderly woman I knew approached me at the cash register which was busy and people in close quarters. This woman was fragile and using a walker and insistent on talking with me. My mal kept the down I asked for but next time I will just hang back til a register is open and no one is around that is fragile.

Not much difference between 8-10 weeks if the breeder is good 👍🏻

@@AndyKrueger hoping I’m not too late. She’s going to be 5 months come the end of March and we just got her yesterday. Looking at bringing her to you for your board and train but it’ll be a couple months.

Prong

I’m actually not sure of specific numbers. But it is much more than kibble.

@@AndyKrueger can I ask what you use ?

Not talk. Taught

Also, I believe you had a prong collar on, but you might have had an a Electra collar also I couldn’t really tell

Thanks for the questions! I pottied him before we left the house, so I wouldn’t have to worry about it when we arrived. Once I give the Heel command, it can not be broken for any reason. If I gave him the Free command after exiting the car, I’m sure he’d lift his leg on everything he could!

@@watchmoivies123 Prong collar only

@@AndyKrueger sooooooooo he was in a heel all the time? even when playing?

I politely tell them no 🙏🏼

​@@AndyKrueger I had a dobie owner politely tell me no once. I thanked her anyway. Told her how much I admired her dog and that her dog reminded me of my lifelong bestie, a dobie, who had just passed away. And guess what... she let me pet her dog. Just mention that because I totally agree with you and figure you might also make a special consideration if it wasn't intrusive. This dog was shopping, not training. I will never forget her kindness in making that exception.

Bet you haven‘t watched the video where he explained the use of the prong as an activation tool

Yeah dog looks so afraid 😂hopefully the other trainers you follow at least teach you what a happy wagging tail is 🥴

I’m hosting a funeral for his happiness, hope you can make it! 😂

@@AndyKrueger funeral at the oasis has an odd ring to it 😂
