That breed of dog can be a handful. They require a lot of attention and stimulation. Check out this excerpt from Wiki:

They can be destructive or develop neurotic behaviours if not provided enough stimulation and exercise. This often causes problems for owners who are unfamiliar with the breed and are not prepared to provide the exercise they require or a job for them to do. They are medium-sized, strong dogs that require consistent obedience training, and enjoy being challenged with new tasks. They are known to be very easy to train,

Well, they are puppies.

Just dont hit them.

Best breed for training

They get bored easy and needs to have lots of interaction as they are highly intelligent

Its more than training the dog needs. If you dont have plenty time to devote to the dog, give it to someone who can take better care of it. Malinois dogs are working dogs that a lot of stimulation and engagement.

Valsayn hombre , he charges too much and not that good ..
And he have serious attitude .

OP, buy a dog training book , or You Tube it and get an electro collar ..

Everytime he misbehave zap he culo

OP,
You have two choices. Either rehome that animal to a home that can give him what he needs and get a dog you can handle like a West Indian Shepherd, or man up and exercise and train your pup before the real problems start. Trust when I tell you, you ain't seen problems yet. Imagine him at 18 months and challenging you, dropping some full mouth bites on you or anyone else in your home he doesn't respect.
Because contrary to popular belief, Malis need an active and engaging owner/handler, and frequent training routines and actual work to do a, this is in addition to a sense of structure in the home/pack, and they need these things throughout their entire life. Is not just teach him sit, stay down, fetch and play dead and all problems solved. They don't work that way.
First, before you go by any alleged trainer, if you are not a person with a very high energy level and active lifestyle, buy a treadmill., and put him on it from now. This one machine will save you time, stress, and a lot of physical effort in the long run, and there's a reason for the saying 'a tired Mali is a happy well behaved Mali.'
Then, find what motivates him most, whether it's food, toys, tugs, flirt poles, work, or just being with you, and look up training advice and videos specifically geared to Mals, and use he likes most as rewards in his training.
2 things to keep in mind. One is NEVER EVER EVER hit your pup, or shout at your pup, or improperly correct your pup.
Two is if you want to develop a solid recall, never call your pup/dog and then punish him when he arrives. Make him coming to you something he wants to do because good things happen when he does, like he gets a treat, and praise and a pet and a belly rub. Make coming to you a source of joy for him, not a sense of "oh shite, he call me, dat does usually mean boof up and rough up and lockupina kennel, I eh seeing no good reason to go by he nah, leh he stay dey, if he wants meh he go hadda ketch meh"
Send me a pm if you want some insight on how to go about training him. I'd be happy to help you learn to do it yourself.

I know someone who had one. Dog used to clear a 6 feet fence easy easy, and go and kill other dogs. Dog was always getting away.. Owner was a older dude who could not give the dog was was needed..

Try Marc, 371-9888, he is usually extremely booked and may not be able to take on any new dogs. Very professional though.

Attitide??? The man reel down to earth and knows what he is doing


Unless you have experience in training dogs you cannot comment on pricing

My family has been in the dog buisness since the 70s and i have been training our own since the 80s

Training for a mal is not for the inexperienced as they will outsmart you

Bess you stick with a sheppard instead if you want to buy books and follow you tube

[Redman]

If attitude is a problem...then the Mal aint for you.

They need to be managed and challenged-or they manage and challenge themselves.
Great dog-for the right owner.
Good Luck with it though

[88sins]

Nah SR, he can do it himself. But it takes time, consistency, and a whole lot of energy, and I suspect that's what is the caveat in his case.
When my family switched breeds from terriers and rottweilers, most of the family insisted we go with Mals, but as it was ultimately my decision I decided we go GSD. Cuz I know what would have been the problem with going Mal, not enough time for me to train them, exercise them, etc. They smart, and will outsmart a owner but that's if they feel they can get away with it because owner/trainer lackadaisical and if they have the extra energy to burn and no way to get rid of it. Easiest way around that is keeping them almost totally drained before training, and regular daily exercise does help with that. Hence my suggestion of the treadmill. If you know how many people with malinois are amazed at how easy it is to train them when their out of control dog that spends all day locked up in a kennel and only bad behavior when he loose, gets taken out of the kennel and put on a long line and are given a simple 30 minutes of vigorous exercise before training, it not funny And most people don't understand, this needs to start from when the animal is a pup, training and exercise start the day you bring him home, and don't stop till the day he too old to keep up and ready to retire.

Ppl need to stop this kakahole nonsense about buying a dog because of looks or because"dem breed rell bad" or because the breed is now popular, without fully understanding what is necessary for keeping such an animal.
