If You’re Not Willing To Bleed For Your Belgian Malinios, then you probably should not have one. Every week I get a scratch or two, sometimes several. They are totally innocent but they are a part of Flashes nature.
Do Belgain Malinois Bite?
Well, do bears shit in the woods? Of course they do, it is their nature. It is our job as trainers to direct the “bite work” constructively. If we cannot handle that, then we should not be training top dogs like Malingatiors!
Flashes Training
Since I got Flash, he has been doing remarkable things. Obstacle courses, fetching, Tug-tug and now this week I have him finding deer sheds. He is 100% successful and has just blew me away with how fast he picks things up.
Deer Shed Training
After watching several videos and training manuals, I decided to put Flash on deer sheds. This happens when a male deer sheds his antlers and leaves them on the forest floor.
I started out by putting the sheds throughout the field, then putting deer roast on them. Once he found a shed, he got a treat and a lot of praise from me. After a few times of that, then I took away the treat and just gave him praise. It worked! He loves to use his nose, and he loves to hunt! I will have videos on Flash performing this task soon.
