You have to be an elite trainer to own this dog….😂….. ok lady. Have some more coffee

I have a 1 year old mal and a 3 month old and my dog absolutely is obsessed with my son , every time my son cries Jax will dart to his side

I have a 2 yr old mal not nurtured and he has a cat and a baby and a puppy and he is the sweetest gentle giant😂❤

We have a 7 year old Mal she's amazing. She loves my 2 year old boy 😂

I have a mal 2 1/2 years and he’s completely different from what you’re saying lol he’s a good family dog he doesn’t really require a lot of work or attention and he’s best friend is a shih tzu

I love your channels, but I strongly disagree. I have two malinois...male and female from two different breeders and they make great family companions.. they are also the most affectionate breed of dog we've ever had. I believe, yes, you can breed for working lines....which my two were...but they also adapt to their everyday environment. My two have both been through professional obedience training in a board and train for a few weeks. ...so I agree professional training is a must. We also have a cat and they are the sweetest with her. I think we should stop putting every Malinois under the same umbrella...they are all different. Time and attention, which I give them 24/7 (work from home) is the most important thing above even exercise/activity with consistent boundaries/structure and routine.

Was wondering if these would make good pets? Seem like absolutely amazing dogs.

Love you will!

The girl in the video is talking absolute nonsense...

Great video

Hmmm. Me thinks this video has much exaggeration. Yeah, the dog is a handful. And, you should know what you're doing. But this person takes it a bit too far. If you want to get a Belgian Mal and learn to own it in a healthy manner, then go for it. Have a great time. They're great dogs.

I have a 5 years old female malinois of exceptional size and weight. It is the second malinois I have the joy to own. Whilst malinois are indeed some of the most energetic dog breed and will frequently test your authority, your description is inaccurate. To me it seems your description actually matches a poorly trained and educated malinois. A malinois likes to bite, and any good malinois owner knows that from the very earliest age, you must sit down with your puppy, let him/'her bite (gnaw is more accurate) you and make high pitched sound every time he/she hurts you to teach him/her to know his/her strength. If you don't, then your malinois will always bite full force no matter what and will likely severely injure someone even if highly trained. Malinois dislike moving things and will attempt to lock moving animals and objects into place. That part is indeed correct. However I have yet to see a well educated malinois (which again, really isn't what you describe) bite a moving target. Usually they tend to round the target and corner it. Which is... well how herding works. I am not a professional dog breeder. My malinois is so gentle that I can put raw food between my lips, approach my face from her and she will gently take the food without even touching my lips. This is a well educated malinois. You need to teach your malinois how to gauge his/her strength. If you only focus on behaviour, you are setting yourself up for a disaster. I have no doubt that you are an excellent professional dog trainer. However malinois require a very specific knowledge and can absolutely not be approached by an all-rounder average dog trainer. My malinois broke two all-rounder trainers that just quit on her tell us she was crazy. She is just a malinois and thus is extremely sensitive and needs to have her space respected. A malinois is extremely loyal and protective. I recently rescued two very small kittens (2 months old). She was very curious and wanted to play with them like a huge brute at first. Then she settled down and never, ever hurt them. When the two cats starts fighting, she watches, but the moment one start meowing in pain, she rushes to separate them. Never, ever biting. She makes the biting motion, but she never bites. To this day, she stills needs to do biting sessions where she will gnaw my arms for some time. She is fully grown and extremely large for her breed and she still never, ever hurts me when she gnaws me. Ever. Every single malinois owner in the comment is pointing out that your video is vastly exaggerated and I hate to be one of them. I think you may have been vaguely taught about malinois, but I sincerely doubt that you owned, trained and educated malinois.

Come visit the Cotswolds

You do not have to be an elite dog trainer to have a this breed

Malinois is a very difficult breed ... This is Everest for the dog lover!

I think you should talk a little faster!

Just about a week ago I started make interest about this type of dog, and seems like a real love in first sight. I was planning to buy one within a year, but no my dream is gone. Sad, but I guess this is for the best, because I don’t want to risk it for single moment to put my wife or my daughter into a risk. I honestly believe all dogs can be different and can be thought different way, but I guess it will be the best if I let this go. But I need to mention I never wanted this dog as a house pet, more like a hobby and a life changer to me, but if the risk is seems like so high my this dog may going to challenge and hurt my family I could never forgive myself.😢

Why do you guys on this channel move your hands so much when you talk

stop trying to scare people about this breed, not all are bred for work etc.
