Used a crate for a year. Then I gave her a pillow. Works great. She likes it better (ofcourse, more freedom). But the crate was very very helpful in the first year. Got the sweetest Malinois ever. Has never ever broken something or destroyed something or ripped something. Was on top off ther from the start to learn what behavior is good and what not. Your tips are always very helpful

We keep ours outside when we have to leave the house. But we’ve been doing training inside the house and he is pretty good. Well, one day y left the cat door open and we were not home for hours! When we were back he was inside and we thought oh no!! I mean we train him but he by himself?? Probably everything is destroyed!! We were very very surprised that nothing was touched, like almost couldn’t believe it!! Maybe he realized the cat door was open a little before we got home, I don’t know but it was a nice surprise 😅

Crating is a wonderful and powerful tool. We have a high-drive GSD and we’re rehabbing a 6 yo pitbull that was abused. Crating is necessary for both dogs! Crating the pitbull has proven to be a powerful and gentle way to set boundaries and let her have her space. Crating is not cruel. Not providing clear boundaries or clear expectations however is the cruel.

Mom, I agree with you 100%. If you have a BM, you have to crate train the dog. I have a 4 months old BM, and he’s already crate trained.

Thank you for the helpful videos. My ex bf got a puppy from Belgium. And before you all judge me, I broke up with him because of his mal. My ex bf has no idea what he got into, doesn't even do any research how to train a mal and have no dog experience at all. I have small dogs but they are all trained. I just can't stand seeing the mal not trained rightly when there's so many helpful info out there. I send him videos and showed him some stuff like crate training, hand feeding and not leaving food all day as what he does, never listens. I gave up on him when he said he will be opening a breeding business and I'm like done. The dog is just business and not family

you can tell alot about a man when you see : 1. him work 2. him eat 3. how he takers care of his things 4. how he speaks to elders, less fortunate, children, etc. 5. how they are with animals.

“If you don’t like crating your Malinois, ugh this is not the channel for you! “ Very honest there! Liked the video and subscribed! You got me sold. I’m crating my soon to be Malinois.

These are all very informative tips for malinois owners , hope yall have a great day with this beautiful weather ❤️🐕🌞

I never crated my dogs till I got working line mals and German Shepard’s. How I am in love with crates. I have a million of them all over the house, the car etc

I love your energy towards training your dogs. Thank you 🙏🏽🤝

Such a useful video. I’ll pay for this content. I couldn’t understand why anyone in their right mind will downvote this video.

My neighbor got a Belgian Malinois, I tell him to Crate her I have a big crate that fit my mastiff in and I can't talk him into using it. So when he leaves to work and she's in the backyard she's 6 months old she's very smart she comes to my house under the fence everyday. Which I don't mind but I'm scared somebody will steal her or hit her with a car I put her in the crate and She lays down and is good as gold. I give her a bone food and water and she's just fine I wish I can talk him into things that I learned when I raised Dobermans and he's a very stubborn person. And she tries to eat my cat. Which then it gets my two dogs in a fight because I have a pitbull and a bully and I am handicapped if I was still young, I could have his dog trained. But he needs to listen to me so I'm going to have him watch your channel and the channel you spoke about and hopefully he will listen and learn because she's going to be one hell of a dog very smart, and I want her and him to succeed.

Call animal control. This situation is dangerous for a multitude of reasons you outlined in your post. Yikes. It’s not a matter of if this situation turns bad, but when…

I appreciate so much for showing such a practical, realistic and in life of Mom with children examples. Thank you so much for making it so down to earth and realistic.

Great stuff. Great shout out to Cabral, the malinois master.

Very interesting to watch this, especially as a cat-only person. I was raised with a badly-trained Labrador and the result unfortunately was being scared of dogs to an extent. And that was a dog with zero inclination to bite or be hostile. I really only related to the cat growing up as a result.

I have a 20 month old GSD and have learned a lot from your videos as well as Robert Cabral. So true about balance with prey drive.

Thanks always for your functional advice!

Thank you very much for your useful tips 😊

Excellent video, thank you for taking the time .

Awesome video! Great information 👍🏻

Thanks this was an awesome video!!

Great information I totally appreciate your advice and information

Riot is so chill. Strong work!!

I totally agree with the crate! I appreciate you sharing tips on boundaries

Great Lesson. Thanks for useable tools and actually showing examples with your dogs.

Love love love these real life videos ! Part of training my Mal, is tuning in every Saturday for your videos! I wish shipping to Canada wasn't so insane for the hoodies!

Really enjoy your information! All your training tips are helpful to apply to any dog household. Probably will never get own a Malinois, but sure do luv the breed!

Very good!

Love this...I do bite work with my 5 months old Malinois Buddy. He loves to play tug! Trimming his nails is a real pain in the ass...I bought some long burlap gloves to help with this but they turned into a toy for his bite work. Think I'll be getting my nearest PetSmart store to do his nail trimmings. You can't live with a Malinois and not have a crate...it's their own little home.

that is all I have to say to my mal to go to her crate. I tell her to get in "her house". She goes. She loves it in there. I do have a blanket thrown over to give her privacy and rugs in the bottom. Every "dog liner" that I put in her crate she shredded into a gazillion pieces. The rugs she never messes with them.

Top class info

Be consistent. Be confident.

Great great video

My Sadie loves her crate. Alot of times I tell her to come out, Sadie when I want to love on her. Sadie can be very chill and then very "let's roll". I think she can almost out run a deer. She has tried, many times. Oh thank you for showing me how to keep her from coming out of her crate which looks so simple. When I get home after work she is soooooo excited to see me that she does not let me sit down, she wants belly rubs and loves and rubs and loves and well, you know.

Thanks sweetie

Crate training is the same controversy of e-collar training. Both works, and unless you control the dog or beit the Alfa, they will own you. Nothing is mean or inhumane about any of it. They are the best loyal dog, but you have to control them. After crate training most of the time I let them run free in the house all the time. After puppy stage of course. :-) When we go to bed they go in there willing as there safe place. 4 yoa on both so it's easy now. They still need a job so make sure you're active enough to work with them daily or at least three times a week. Just my .02 Nice video!

I think one of the big points of debate right now is comparing crating to what European countries that make crating illegal do, which is usually to put a dog in one room. From the few conversations I've had, some people just shut a door, and others gate the entrance to the room so the owners can see what's going on. I guess with a mal that gate needs to be a gated 11 foot door essentially. And then some people use X pens. I can't exactly see leaving the house trusting an adult or adolescent Malinois to not jump right out of that if you go out to dinner. So I need to find out more on how these people are successful, but personally I have no issue with crates. They serve a purpose, even if it's about things like safe travel with multiple dogs in your vehicle. Your Mals actually look very calm in the house. They must be pretty satisfied. Thanks for this video.

very nice video, I wonder how your house is so clean with 3 dogs. I own a 4 month old GSD Puppy. can you share a video if you can on what tools you used when they were pups to train them on obedience. Thanks

Good Morning Malingator mom!!

As I watch the kitchen scene and threshold stuff....I noticed the metal food and water dishes. My 8 month old Border Collie has become fearful of the water dish outside but will use the ones attached to the crate. Any tips to help that?

I would like you to do a video on a multiday camping trip with a malinois.

How do you potty train your dogs ?

Hi Kay. Do you crate your dogs during family diner time? I watched all your videos(literally) and I have noticed that you don’t have fluffy dog beds laying around the house like most of dog owners do. Is that for a reason?

I know this is years old, but does anyone else have a gunner crate like she does? If so, what size should I get for my mal, around 65 lbs. Wondering if I should get the biggest one or the next down... Is too much space a bad thing? Really like that kennel though...

What size are your gunner kennels if you don’t mind me asking

I have a small crate for the mini schnauzer mix and a large crate for the mutt. In the beginning, the mini schnauzer mix thought the large crate was for her and would growl at the mutt. He would immediately retreat. It took some time but we eventually got her to understand that the small crate was hers and only hers and the large crate was his and only his. Did your dogs ever have a similar issue?

Good Morning. Is Riot neutered? I have an almost 2 year old Mal he’s about 65 -70lbs. I feed raw twice a day with a little bit of kibble. Not sure if I should cut back to once a day? How many times a day do you feed your oldest?

Good morning, What size Gunnel Kennel crates are you using?

how do i crate my dog if he goes to the bathroom everytime he gets put in there for more than 2 hours

I have a 10 month old Belgian malinois. I am not sure if it is due to his age but he whines for everything. We exercise him for over an hour a day with his frisbee. Also when I worked from home he would be in his crate all day but would whine and bark consistently because he could hear me. Any tips on resolving the whining or is it because he is so young.

Because I was unable to get any work done with him. He would whine to go outside and play all the time and keep wanting to climb in my lap.

People should crate their kids, lol!

So my question to you is this. My profession requires me to travel. Hes with mec24/7. Trucking. The only time I crate him is when I have to leave.. he now has a negative association with it. Hes got a very comfy crate cushion lol. But, he does whine and raises hell when im gone. I understand and acknowledge that itspart of it. He is 12 weeks old.. He does eventually calm down and lay down. When im driving or parked hes out with me.. I dont use it as punishment of any kind. I know he hates it. But I cant leave him out to destroy thousands of dollars worth of equipment and electronics. If you have any advice ill gladly take it under advisement

Stop crating him only when you leave. Start crating him while you’re home with him for periods of time as well. I also have a video on crate training that provides a complete break down of how to crate train successfully 👍🏼

I like these videos, but the info is kinda limited for someone like me…while it’s awesome that she has the ability to purchase top of the line products across the board for her dogs and she obviously has the resources to put them in the best positions possible when it comes to obedience and training, it’s just not very useful for someone like me who is looking for info on items that provide the best value and cost efficient ways to train and work with your dog…everywhere is the best of the best, and that’s great for her and her dogs, but not so useful to me..I’ll keep watching from time to time though..

I crate my 8lb Chihuahuas otherwise they are destructive little shits when I leave the house 🤣 But obviously I do it responsibly like I don't take off for hours no it will be more like to run through a drive thru or something like that and they are happier and calmer in a crate instead of panicked and running through my house peeing everywhere so it's a win win 🥰

Malinois's can be little assholes, lmao 🤣. My baby's not an asshole...wink, wink.

thank you for the GREAT examples -- I learned a lot.....(but, please don't use the foul language) it doesn't sound good and burned my ears! other than that, GREAT JOB!!!! THANKS AGAIN!🦋
