I love your videos to the extent where I wondered if I needed your Patreon. I joined it and answered that question within 2 videos - if you love this guy, JOIN HIS PATREON! I’m learning a lot of stuff I thought I already knew, Andy, you’re a joy to watch and you’re a brilliant teacher!
Whenever I watch your videos I really appreciate watching the enthusiasm and "Powerplant" of energy in your dogs. I bet sometimes it's challenging to calm them down...LOL.
I’m so excited to find you and your videos! I have an 8 YEAR old German Shorthaired Pointer that just finished his Field Championship- which means his job for the last 8 years had been to run 200 yards in front of me and to KEEP running until he finds a bird. Then repeat for 30 to 60 minutes depending on the stake entered. He retires next weekend and I have been toying with the idea of trying obedience but just had no Idea of how I’m going to teach heel, as it is concept that will be totally New for us. These videos make so much sense to me and I feel they are within by skill level and my dog is highly food motivated. I think we can do this!!!!!
thank you for the knowledge Andy, this is brilliant content. perfect for those that know, short & sweet, no non-sense, applicable and clearly effective.
Perfect timing. We have been working with heel placement out of his “place” and he has a nice tight spin into heel on my left side. This video provided us some more tools and ideas to utilize and work through distractions.
I really enjoy watching and doing my best to learn from your videos and also even more respect to you and knowing your dog is dog and handling him closely when your child was near. Well done sir.
YES! love this vid. Andy, when do you add your verbal "heel" cue in? After plenty of good repetitions of flips to your side, or right from the beginning, as you're luring them to you? Cheers!
Am keen to join. Finally found someone who is raw feed all fact and easy to follow. I have trouble eith my girls staying focussed in heel so have gone back to hsnd feeding and making them chase it Q...why did you have your mali jump up under your armpit to reward. Is this a focus drill. They r highly food motivated. Heel is the biggest chsllenge for them as they get bored about 5 steps along but your vid is changing this slowly.
Make sure you look out for litter meat syndrome, especially if you have three Belgian puppies, all in the same litter that can be some major problems in the future
I've heard that if you can't train a dog, you shouldn't try to train a child. With that philosophy, can't imagine how awesome his little girl is going to be, and already is. Joy to watch them as a unit.
Just a couple of questions 1 why do you use commands in German, French and English? 2 what do with your Melaonis when at work or away for hours? Cheers Paul
Thanks Andy appriciate that real cool video were working on it, french ring seems greet, but we will first stick to the basics from the 5Min challenge for proper placement =) hehehe, I hope you bought a new mic for the next Q&A Andy, We here you hahahaha
Hi Andy, Great drill. I was doing alot of left hand feeding to reinforce the heel position. So ,negative on that and mix it up with both hands? Thanks, As a trainer I never think I know it all. I'm constantly learning,improving and evolving. I'm training only malinois now. There are so many mals in so cal...kinda breaks my heart... I live and breath this special breed. The Ferrari of dogs. As you and I know. A hi drive malinois is too much dog for most people... Please let people know. Thank you Andy. Shoutout to your great camera person.
I done the first part and she had done that perfectly but my dog won’t get the treat in the second part how can I improve that She is German shepherd mixed with Belgium Malinois
Depends! Handling a dog is teamwork, 50/50. A top of the line car doesn’t do you any good if you don’t know how to drive. Same for a dog, if you don’t have the formal training to handle them their training won’t do you any good! 🙌🏻
Does you have a video on how to wall with them at the side of you my I have trained her side but can't figure how to get her to walk at side of me as soon as I go to walk she just walk in front
Great tips! I will be using these with my new pups. I have a quick question. I taught my Chihuahua years ago to look at my face and not the food, and she picked it up quite fast and has been doing it ever since. The only problem is, now I cant lure her with food because she will just sit there quietly and stare at me and wont move. Ever since, I have not been able to teach her anything new using food. Do you have any suggestions?
Andy these videos are getting better and better, my Malinois is 4 months old. Please let us know the brand of the treat pouch you’re using, I’d like to buy one
I wouldn’t recommend ‘correcting’ a distracted dog, but rather motivate. You have to create more value in yourself. Lots of practice and you have to be the most exciting thing to the dog. Do short sessions and keep the dog engaged by using a high value reward and exciting movements 👍🏻
Hey Andy, great content and thanks for sharing. I am also training our 4-month old GSD family pet. I train before meal time to make sure he is hungry. But I use treats and then feed him after the training. Quick question on your video, are you using your dog's actual food or treats to hand feed and train, that is, the training is his actual meal? No more feeding after?
@@chrisbotsis7658 I’m not sure what ‘aggressive’ training means exactly. But I’m sure I would not agree with this organization, but that doesn’t mean good people are not a part of it 🙏🏼
Hi new here have a 6 month old German Shepard responds well with food - food training is new to me - always used a leash and with 2 year old rescues malamutes and huskies, puppy this age new she does well but easily distracted with other dog and cat but getting better, in this video when dog begins facing you and from Side to side you have also a voice command what is that and do you recommend when puppy is first learning? How long is session usually you give for Puppy? Thanks, i like to have her eventually bark on command to guard not sure on training to bite yet as never have done , any thoughts appreciate it, thanks
It’s more likely that she doesn’t have the ability to focus everywhere, rather than forgetting. First, I would suggest giving her ample time, daily, to roam and explore outside with no obedience. Take her tons of places and let her explore. Second, you need to create very high food drive, for a high value reward and only do obedience outside. Mark eye contact one time with a huge reward, then go inside. Repeat this a handful of times daily and increase ob time outside very slowly. Within 2-3 weeks you should be able to keep engagement outside for 5-10 min. Then after that, you’re off to the races! Good luck and keep us posted 🙏🏼
@@AndyKrueger great content hard to tell in video with audio, are you also giving voice commands with this exercise or mostly just learning to follow you and eye contact? At what point you add voice command ?
You probably will forget more about dog training than I will know but don’t you think the fence is actually preventing him from making that turn more precisely, rounding out too much? Also, why do you reward high and close to body?
I reward high so his attention is conditioned to be up towards my face when he finishes. And yes, too much of this flip turn work could make him round out too much.
Andy. My dog can rush right into a perfect heel. He can stay there as long as I want. We can maintain great eye to eye focus while sitting. As soon as we move forward it falls apart. Any help?
One micro step at a time! Reward each inch! Don’t try to walk any more than that. Also go back a few steps for incorporating slight motion. Meaning have food/ toy out and visible to help. Then once they can take a step consistently, start to fade reward out of visibility 🙌🏻
Great vids ! I fully get this is just a piece of the puzzle and I haven’t seen a lot of your vids so I apologize if you have already addressed this. Are most of your techniques geared towards mals or can they work for all breeds ?
Thanks for watching and great question! All techniques can absolutely be applied and will benefit any breed of dog! With that being said, I train my client’s pet dogs a little differently because I generally only have 3 weeks to totally complete the training. But when I am not on a time crunch, and training my own dogs I like very slow and steady build 💪🏼🙏🏼
Okay! So my 5 month old is doing really well on daily training and engagement, but I haven’t been using a leash, so i think that will help a ton. Do you recommend a really light leash or does it Matter?
I think it's good that you involve your children because it helps to socialize the dog. Haven't seen cats around your dogs in the videos,tho. Too bad Mals for adoptions I've read they can't be around children or cats or BOTH. I do wonder if it is possible to train those mals up for adoption that have problems with children or cats or is it too late????
That's a great question! It depends on the dog for sure, sometimes it can be done, sometimes it can't. I personally do not own any cats. My opinion is a Malinois is a working dog, and not really designed genetically to be hanging around a house among cats and children. Again it can be done with the right dog, but a Lab or Spaniel will be better for this.
We have feline neighbors and we intentionally practice not chasing them. Neighbors laugh but the intentional exposure while hungry with a super high value food distraction to redirect from the cat is making a noticeable difference.
Perhaps I can highlight in a future video 👍🏻 Simply put, teach down from the stand position by pushing your treat in towards the dog and downward. You may be able to find me in previous videos doing this technique 🙏🏼
Got it! Will try to work that in soon! In the meantime, if you go back through my videos when Freddy was a puppy, you can see quite a bit of position work, especially Stand. There isn’t a video with that in the title necessarily, so may take some digging, but it is in there somewhere! 🙌🏻👍🏻

So ,negative on that and mix it up with both hands?

A typical session is anywhere from 10-20 minutes, 3-6x per day. Don’t worry about any verbal instruction until the dog is perfect in obedience 👍🏻

Why do you want the dog to jump up into your armpit?
That is where I reward him. This way he looks up at my face in anticipation and not at my hand down by my waist 👍🏻

Could be messy if he only eats raw.
Use dehydrated meat
I make their raw diet into small balls and chill them . Works fine
This is an absolute myth and ignorant statement
Hi everyone. When the dog learns to heel, he won't ever should walk away from me, or he just does heel when I command him.
as i watched this video, I did this to my malinois
