I love training my Belgian Malinois puppy. This is his first obstacle course. Of course, it is not as fancy as other dog training courses out there, but he is nailing it. Basically, I take the things around my yard and try to assemble them into an obstacle course and it’s working!
Playing Fetch and The Risk
I realize that playing fetch may be a risk, but it is a chance that I will take for now that he is just a puppy. I am not sure if I will continue it when he gets older. The research I did shows possible injuries while playing fetch.
Food
My Belgain Melinois is not food motivated, but he loves his toys. So when I want to get him excited to do something, I bring out one of his favorite toys and include them in the training when I can. I try not to overdo it.
Dog Training Videos
I am watching tons of videos on dog training. Some I like and some I am reserved about. I am learning as much as Flash is during this process. I really like to understand how my Belgian Malinois thinks. This is a real challenge, but I love the process. I find that “Patience” is one of the most valuable virtues to have during this process.
