Home/Questions/Hi! I'm looking for commentary from a U.S.-based dog trainer on training tips for pet parents to help their Belgian Malinois thrive.
Questions include:
1. Please share takeaway tips or things pet parents should know about how to approach the following with a Belgian Malinois to set them up for success:
- Mental enrichment
- Routine and structure
- Basic foundation
- Positive reinforcement
2. For first-time Belgian Malinois pet parents, what kind of daily routine should they follow? Please build a sample routine for both puppy and adult stages with a morning, afternoon, and evening schedule.
3. If a Belgian Malinois pet parent is looking to consult a trainer, what qualities would you recommend they look for?
4. What information can pet parents provide a trainer to help them address training areas that may need professional guidance? What checklist of behaviors or explanations will a trainer need to fully understand and properly address a pet parent’s concerns?
*Please note: Only original responses from U.S.-based certified positive reinforcement dog trainers (e.g., CPDT-KA, CBCC-KA, KPA-CTP, etc.) will be considered.*
