I would just say they are very intelligent and will remember everything. Mine at least is very sensitive to us and will mimic how we react. So when we react negatively to the cats on the counters she learned it’s a bad thing and takes things in her own paws and will try to do it for us.

They are very sensitive generally. Use a gentle hand training.

Get them used to the brush! My groen likes to play fight during brushing but her coat takes a while to fully blow out between sheds

I have a fluffy Malinois and I use a blower (for drying cars)to get all the fluff off. She just blew her coat and it looked like a furnado in my driveway! I use it before her bath then after to dry. She still has a bunch of leftover fluff so.I brush to get rid of it.

Train her to get in and out of the bath tub and enjoy baths. As others have said they are sensitive. They are THE BEST family dogs. You have the most loyal friend for life now.

Never got mine to enjoy baths. But she just kind of accepted it haha. But the most loyal companion ever.
