What kind of training does the Malinois need?
The Malinois is an active, intelligent dog that requires early exposure to different people and dogs so that he will be accepting of them when he grows up. The Malinois also requires training to control his high energy and exuberance and channel them into useful activities. A puppy socialization or puppy kindergarten class is recommended for Malinois puppies. First-time Malinois owners are often amazed and delighted at how quickly these dogs learn and how sensitive they are to corrections, but these same traits can get them into trouble if their owner fails to take the time to train them properly, or combines harsh corrections with poor training techniques.
