We have this breed of puppy. He is 4 months old. We r keeping him inside. He is great and was easy to house train. We take him everywhere we go (loves car rides). He is very playful outside but when he comes in the house its if he knows to be calm. January 12, 2012

We have a Belgian Malinois named Sheba who is 15 months old.We got here at 8 weeks old and my son did most of the training .It was a difficult job to train as Sheba is highly intelligent,but can be stubborn However she will do anything for treats!!!!Of course,as a puppy she loved to chew and mostly on my arm or hand.As she grew older all this has been resolved,and she is such a loving joy to our family. She is very active and needs lots of active playtime!!! We are so thankful to have her in our lives,but training must be consistent and firm,but not harsh!! She has been very good with strangers and children .July 12,2011

Walk your Malinois daily or more. Being on the leash reinforces his position under you. Be sure he heels; a gentle leader will accomplish this. They are extremely, unceasingly curious. So either you’re guiding his development or he’s going to pick it up elsewhere. At six, mine is well-behaved but is still prone to learning bad habits from other other dogs he stays with (shoe chewing, etc). He reverts to a good dog again when I get him back into the exercise routine.

well, you never know. mainly they are used in the army, along with german shepards. and they are used for heardkng sheep, so it has most likely been passed down from dog to dog. give him lots of love and affection, and he’ll come around.

We breed Mal’s and we loving refer to them as little Baracuda’s when they are in the puppy stage. Love to play, romp and are constantly in motion. Just hang in there and be consistent consistent consistent. He will come around. Mal’s are not like other breeds and can’t be judged by other experiences you’ve had with other pups. These are exceedingly great dogs and will protect you and your property.

my malinois is the most gentle affectionate dog in the entire world. he did seem to be more aggressive and dominant as a puppy, but once he hit 1 year all that stopped. they need constant love, and socialization. they are very sweet! truly

I have a 10 month old malinois. He will show his teeth when being disciplined for something he did wrong. Although this is a sign of agression he has never snapped or tried to bite anyone. This is an aggressive breed to begin with. The fact that he will snap at you shows that he thinks your his equal at best. You MUST assert yourself as the dominant one. Socialization will get better with age. Our boy doesnt have any problems with other dogs.
