Puppy Imprinting Obstacle Work

Puppy imprinting in the dojo yesterday. Obstacle, surface, sound socialization...obedience prep...handling drills. Here you see young @maligator_delta_echo working through a body awareness/obstacle drill like a champ.

Malinois Maxx

Malinois Maxx kicked off his board and train program this week! There are a lot of reasons to own this awesome breed - there are zero reasons to not (seriously) train this breed. When I train new malinois handlers I often use the following example to emphasize timing and fundamentals for clear communication : ‘working this breed is like driving a mazarati with a stick shift, done correctly and smoothly you will fly forward...done sloppily/forced and you will grind gears and s

Couple of Malinois in the yurt for puppy imprinting today. ***disclaimer these cute puppies are not for everyone.
