Malinois Ownership Intensive: Structure, Drive & Daily Life

4-Session Private Lesson Package

Price: $1,100

This program is designed for new Belgian Malinois owners who want to understand what they’ve brought into their life and how to live successfully with a high-drive working dog. This is not an obedience program. It is an ownership and handling education program focused on structure, management, and preventing common Malinois problems before they escalate.

Each session is 1 hour and centered on handler decision-making, daily routines, and realistic expectations.

What We’ll Work On

This program focuses on how to live with a Malinois, not how to make them behave like a pet dog.

Understanding the Breed

• Malinois genetics, drive, and arousal patterns

• Why common “pet dog” advice fails with this breed

• Realistic expectations for behavior, energy, and intensity

Daily Structure & Management

• Creating a daily routine that meets genetic needs

• Balancing work, rest, and confinement

• Preventing crate issues, frustration, and self-created jobs

• Managing stimulation, not avoiding it

Handler Skills & Communication

• Clear rules and boundaries without micromanagement

• Calm, consistent handling under drive

• Reading stress vs drive vs conflict

• Preventing handler-created reactivity

Preventing Common Malinois Problems

• Mouthiness and inappropriate biting

• Obsessive behaviors and fixation

• Environmental reactivity

• Over-arousal and poor off-switch development

Foundations for Future Training

• Engagement and relationship building

• When to push, when to pause

• How to transition into formal training levels safely

This program is about setting your Malinois up for success long before problems show up.
