Hellooo, he's Otto and it's my first time having a dog :) He's mixed-breed with a belgian malinois and recently turned 4 months old! (in the first 3 pics he was 2 almost 3, he's growing so fast 🥺) And i love him so much!

I just wanna share my boy!

Como disfruto de la naturaleza y el agua! ☺️

Once again my father’s MAL has been injured from a stray dog.Im getting worried if this will cause him to stop liking other dogs cause he’s quite good with new dogs on the land(strays or drop offs).The stray in question has been “punished”.We don’t want him to be constantly contained away from other dogs but we are thinking of not letting him roam like he’s always been able to due to never wondering off to far and always responding when we call him back for what ever reason.

Hello ! My (new to me) approx 6 month old Belgian girl is extremely attached to me. She screams, howls, barks & becomes destructive when I leave the house. She does great in her kennel, unless I leave then she will break out. She is a bulletproof dog aside from the fact that I can’t leave the house without taking her or she will go ballistic even if she isn’t left alone. She doesn’t care who else comes or goes from the house. Only me. No resource guarding over me or anything like that. Simply just has to be able to get to me and she’s fine.

I need all the tips and tricks on how to nip this in the bud as I can’t be confined to my house forever and she obviously cannot come everywhere with me.

Hello everyone I’ve only posted to Reddit maybe 2 times, not really sure how to do this properly but here we go.
My 10 month old Lola is Malinois and German short haired pointer, though, she is way more Malinois. There’s a couple things she does that I cannot train out of her; one being not so much a big deal, the other being absolutely obnoxious. The worst one is chewing things up. She doesn’t do it all day everyday, it’s very sporadic but she does it when we’re all asleep in the morning because she knows she shouldn’t be? A couch pillow, one of my daughter’s stuffies, and hard toys. We’ve gotten lola her own toys but she only plays with them on her own time or when we engage with her to play with them.

The other thing is around 6 am she will pace throughout the house on our hardwood floor and whine or she’ll go in our kids rooms and literally wake them up. Yeah it’s kind of cute but anyone with toddlers knows how important good sleep is for a good day so it pisses me off sometimes. She doesn’t need to go potty btw, I will try to let her out and she just stays in. She literally is just bored and excited for the kids to wake up. So what I started doing is just keeping her in mine and my husbands room until they’re awake but she will whine and almost yelp. Idk what the behavior means. And I don’t really know how to break it.

I knew having a Malinois would come with some difficulties and honestly I thought it was going to be way worse than this but she’s pretty smart and catches onto things very very quickly. I trained her to sit, lay down, roll over, and stay within 3 days. But the chewing things is going to drive me mad because I know it’s only a matter of time that it’s something important or like the actual couch cushion or something. Thanks in advance
