JulesP Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 depends on the lines, some are better at dog sports, others are more protection type. Either way they tend to do well at scent detection, tracking, agility, protection sports etc Don't forget herding! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Fox Posted November 2, 2011 Author Share Posted November 2, 2011 I reckon Elka would just see a sheep as a giant tug toy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gsdog2 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I'm requesting daily updates and a video/pic every other day - as I don't have my own Mal pup Elka is the next best thing ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nekhbet Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I'm requesting daily updates and a video/pic every other day - as I don't have my own Mal pup Elka is the next best thing find a 4 year old and give it a LOT of sugar and cordial, spend all day with it constantly feeding it sugar and periodically put your hand in a blender.

I haven't taught her a lot yet. I was planning on following the Michael Ellis stuff and building up a nice level of engagement before sweating the small stuff. Turns out that focussing on me is not her strong point so far lol, way too much going on in the world. yeah is she making you a coffee yet and driving the car Hmmmm perhaps she was planning on driving tonight when I found her attached to the deck chair I was attempting to put in the boot find a 4 year old and give it a LOT of sugar and cordial, spend all day with it constantly feeding it sugar and periodically put your hand in a blender.

gsdog2 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 reminds me of what I'm going through with my mwd pup - I just put a new hesian cover on his bed and he started chewing it this morning. I really want it to last more that a day so I picked the bed up and put it on the pool table (has hard cover of course) and the next thing I know he's pulled the whole bed off the table and he's chomping into it again .

Nekhbet Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 yeah Malinois have no problems vs furniture.

I am lucky enough to be puppy sitting a Mal puppy for a few weeks over Xmas :D , I will be doing heaps of stuff with it, I can't wait, they are such little sponges for learning and games.

PAX Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Glad I don't live near you, I could steal her.......start training her, she wants jobs. Do you want ideas for training? Have you got her taking treats and charged a clicker? Training will build reward value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
