Hi Andy,
You are the only one who actually answers almost all questions from your viewers. That is amazing since you must have a very busy schedule. I think it shows you have a passion for what you do and like to be the best. The other day I asked you a question about the type of kibble you feed your dogs and was, really, not thinking I would get an answer, but YOU DID!?
🙏🏼🙏🏼
The jolly ball is life changing. My shepherd was obsessed
love to see a pooch living their best life!
Thanks for the Tips AGAIN !!!!!!
I’ve had German Shepherds for over 30 years. I have always given them horse flavored jolly balls. Every dog loved them. I now also have a Belgium Malinois and introduced it to him and just like all the shepherds I’ve had he loves it. It’s great when they play tug a war. Yes, it’s only good for a few months but it’s well worth it. Plus even when they shred it up they still like to run around with it in there mouth. Now, when it’s really shredded up and I catch them chewing it into pieces I then disregard. It’s only allowed when I’m around. Great toy! I have always recommended to my friends.
Thank you for sharing.
Yes you did thank you 🙂
What an enjoying video.. moving on never coming back.
😂😂😂
Scissors………rope……..you are divine
Yes! We have the Jollyball soccer ball and it is so durable. My husband likes to do soccer footwork and play keep away with our white swiss shepherd and she is obsessed with it. Though I don't think we taught her how to play with the ball right... She will try to grab the ball and run away with it by kicking it.
When the squeaky toy came on my foster Malinois perked her head up so fast and those ears. Just like radar dishes. I'm surprised she didn't investigate. Although we did just play fetch for and hour and a half and did some training on the way home, so she might be tired? Relaxation time is over once I get up though.
I am definitely here for ideas on how to keep her busy by herself though. She just wants to play fetch all the time.
Not to rain on the parade but fetch for that long is highly dangerous. 10-15 min max. Many Malinois have died this way 🙏🏼
LOL love your video's - We had Wick (our Malanois X) laying down calm then he heard the Squeaky toy section and has to play with toys now. At least he has a little bit of an off switch. Keep up the good work. Great tips and tricks, you have been a lifesaver.
Excellent tips for other breeds too. Thanks.
Thank YOU!
Wow learned so much, thank you! Little fluffy is going to be gutted that Mr Squeaks has to get in the bin.
I'm picking up a mal puppy next week. With my older boy, I made many of the mistakes you mentioned and was probably going to make them again! Seeing this now is so helpful for her, thank you! Everything you said about the balls and toys affecting bit and behaviour is true.
Brot where can i get one of those baby.
It’s nice to see a trainer giving his working dog access to toys when the dog is not working, but being thoughtful about which toys. I’ve been having lots of good conversations with fellow dog enthusiast friends about deprivation of resources for sport / working dogs and it’s great to see something like this!
Of course it’s important to not spoil your dog and give them tons of toys all the time, BUT! If you’re having to deprive them of play in order to ‘make them work better’, maybe you’re not as good of a trainer as you thought! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thanks for watching and sharing this!
@@AndyKrueger whomp there it is! 🔥

I have about 10months owning a Malinois now. I’m over here buying all kinds of stuff for him all the time Looking for the right ball , tug toy… I’m considering on getting him a sleeve… I would say he’s a high drive , very focus you can tell he loves to work.
I like the jolly balls best 👍🏻
That was great. I have a Kelpie and your ideas, tips, and training truly applies to her. Thank you.
Thanks Andy....awesome tips! I just ordered that Jolly Ball! On the 🎱 ball with your video!
🙏🏼🙏🏼
I’ll have to try one of the Jolly Balls with my Dobie. She kills everything. The Chuckits were good for awhile. Now she bursts them in no time. Here’s hoping.
Bro soooo fire, my mal is 5 months rn I’ve been looking for better options for him when we arnt training!
Awesome! 🙏🏼
Last two dog I’ve been trying 😂but the moment that leash is of, it’s like a lamp comes on:” ok what are we doing?!” Ball lol
I just bought my two Malinois Jolly Balls and in less than a few hours my female destroyed it. I do love the product tho
So funny how all Belgian Malinois though different personalities share so many of the same traits and little quirks , thought I was looking at my dog playing
Regarding dog self-play; what are your thoughts on the spring pole for. Malis? Never unsupervised, of course! Thanks again; awesome work!
Took me 3 months and tons of $$ to narrow down to similar list. Should watch it earlier 😂
Have you got a link to that slightly squishier Jolly Ball? My Malinois won't touch things that are completely solid like those hard plastic balls. Being able to get his teeth into it is what's fun for him. I think he'd like the football too since it has some give to it. Chewy has some Jolly Balls but I'm not sure which are the hard ones and which are the rubbery ones.
I bought one for my dog when she’s was a puppy and yes they love it so much.
But now it has trimmed like 6 of her teeth including her k9 teeth. That’s because they chew on it so much and we barely noticed. Now I can almost see her tooth root which will cost thousands of dollars to fix 😞
Super fun video! Thank you for sharing all this info! :) I'm really shocked you feed kibble and not raw though.
I feed raw 🙌🏻
@@AndyKrueger OH OK! :) In the video above you said that you feed a "standard local kibble"
Thanks for this :) What would you recommend for 10 weeks puppy?
I had Jolly Ball Football my Cane Corso destroyed it... but it took him months , usually takes few days. I replaced with new one is the only one that last .
Yes I replace mine regularly 👍🏻
What's up Andy! Excellent video, thanks for all the tips!
Do you already have an idea of how much your Video Series is going to cost? Does it apply for pet dogs too? I'm trying my best to become a dog trainer but there's so much contradictory info on the internet... it's so frustrating
I've been enjoying your content a lot! One can tell you know what you're doing, plus, you're full of great vibes! What's up Everyone!!!
I realized I need a mentor more than 1million hours of videos on UA-cam, and man, It'd be a honor to train with or like you, that's why I'm so interested in your video series
Saludos from Venezuela
Thank you 🙏🏼
It will be a massive undertaking and may take one year. I can try and figure out something helpful I can do in the meantime 🙏🏼
Awesome video, as always!
I do have a couple of not so small questions for you, if it's too much just forget I asked!
...I have a 7yo Mal x lab who I've had since a pup... He's got some mental issues that we've been able to work around for the most part, but by far his worst problem is that he is hyperkinetic and as a result has a REALLY short attention span, rarely sits still and it seems the more exercise he gets, the more hyperactive he gets. He lives for food, but anything, and I mean ANYTHING that could distract him, will (literally could be a lump of moss on a rock or a random stray bottle cap! You name it, my boy will be distracted by it!) then he'll freak out and get scared/hyper fixated/frustrated (or a mix of all 3) and I won't be able to get him back to focusing on the task at hand. He resource guards at random times and there is nothing we have tried so far that will break him of this habit and I've been "nibbled" a few times because of it... He is very insecure around people and will bark a lot and snap if people don't back off from him when asked to. I've asked many trainers but a lot of them refuse to help him as he isn't "neurotypical"... Do you have any ideas on what I could do to improve his focus and stop him guarding things? (I can play with tug toys with him and there are no issues whatsoever: tell him "give" and he'll drop it in my hand immediately. However If he has anything other than a tug in his mouth, the only time he'll let go of it is to snap at whoever is trying to retrieve the item. I've tried multiple time to give him balls without ropes... put it like I have to check how many fingers I have left once I've FINALLY managed to retrieve the ball!... Leave the rope on, he's fine. Gives it back every time.) He's also food aggressive and will sometimes even guard treats IN MY HAND and will either bite me and try to steal the treat or walk off growling with his tail up over his back and his hackles up... Then there's other times you wouldn't know he has any issues whatsoever...)
Hey! Sorry not sure I understand your question? 🙏🏼
@@AndyKrueger haha sorry! got a little carried away 😅 shortened version: do you have any tips on how I can stop my 7yo malinois/lab mix guarding everything/anything and improve his focus when it's needed? (he has hyperkinesis- similar to adhd in people- and as a result, all the trainers I've asked so far refuse to help.)
Also, in regards to the guarding, he knows the "give" command and I can play tug with him with various toys and he doesn't guard those. I can also give him something to hold or ask him to pick something up for me if I drop it and he will no problem... but if he picks something up he's not meant to and I ask him to "give", he'll snap at me and walk away growling...
@@stormdemon63 Gotcha. Sorry unfortunately do not have any advice for this 🙏🏼
👍🏻
One of your best videos ever....because this stuff is so important! Training stuff is great but this is about safety. 90% of the dog toys at the store are dangerous pieces of junk! People assume if its in the pet section is must be safe for dogs, and its so far from the truth. Last week I bought some "dog safe" balls that look like tennis balls and in less than an hour it was shredded and completely ripped to pieces with wads of undigestible fuzz laying everywhere! It was no longer a ball! Definitely NOT dog safe! No more toys in the crate in this house! What's your opinion on letting them have a rawhide or bone to gnaw on while in the crate? Its relaxing for them and stress relieving, as opposed to a toy that would be more likely to fire them up and promote destruction.
Thanks! Rawhides in the crate are just fine, but only sometimes 👍🏻
Vlogs w freddy would be awesome 👌
I agree! 🙏🏼
🤘
Jolly balls are great. The best toy my Malinois loves and tires him out is the sea. 🌊

How long would you recommend self exercising for or "playing"? I would assume that varies from dog to dog, but I wasn't sure if there is too much that can be crossed? I have GSDs and we use the jolly balls and chuckits. The big one with the handle does wonders.
Great question! Anywhere from 10-30 min is usually good 👍🏻
But that is usually multiple times per day 👍🏻
Bought a jolly ball off your recommendation. It literally lasted 5 min with my 5 month mal before she was shredding it to pieces and eating bits of plastic. Definitely not indestructible.
Update!! I cut the handle off and that solved the problem! Works great now!! Lol
Hi Andy! It’s my second time watching this video (rinse & repeat for me too 😂). You mentioned if training for hunting or tracking you might not give the dog a ball for free. I just started my 7 month old female working gsd in Schutzhund. Tracking is involved in the sport and the club really focuses on building ball drive to help with obedience and bitework. I always use a specific ball when we are working. None of her other balls resemble it and when I get it out she knows it’s go time. What are your thoughts on this? What should I give her for free? Is it your sport that doesn’t focus on ball drive or is it your preference? Hit me with it, I won’t be offended!! 😂 (I will ask on Patreon also just in case you don’t see my question here)
Hey! Great question!
If it were me, I’d only give her that one particular ball when you’re Training. No balls or toys any other time.
It’s my personal preference to not have/ develop crazy ball drive.
Keep up the good work! 💪🏼🙏🏼
Thank you so much! 🙏🏻
Hey Andy. We adopted a Great Dane puppy and she's not going to be a working dog but I do want to make sure that ball play and tug play are a game between her and I. I took away her rope toy but she's almost 5 months now so I think she's going through teething and I got her a thick but soft chew toy from fluff and tough (no squeaker and durable right now) that helps entertain her and not have her nibble on us when we are hanging out. She only gets it when she is supervised so im not worried about stuffing and she doesn't seem to tear she just likes to chomp on it. Do you think it's a bad idea and will ruin the tug play? She's still really interested in the soft tug that I got with the elastic on it but I am definitely working on the having her come back to me which I can do with some audible noises
I got Michael Ellis's raising your puppy DVD and just through playing the treat retrieve game he has the first time I threw a ball she brought it right back so that is surprisingly good already.
Would love to know if any chew toys are ok? Like rawhide or pigs ears? Any other bones that are ok?
Thanks!
ON YOUR PAGE --
Freddy’s the best.
Agree! 🙏🏼
Can Belgian malinois be grown as a single dog ? Or do they require partner dog ?
Absolutely. I actually recommend only owning one 👍🏻
I have the most beautiful female malinois, where did you get that shirt...
Nice 🙏🏼
This is my company shirt 👍🏻
@@AndyKrueger Epic! Are they for sale?
@@DontTrustAnybody75 Sorry! Not selling anything yet but will be soon 🙏🏼
@@AndyKrueger sweet I'd love a shirt with a big malinois on the front, I have really fell in love with my girl Thea....I'll post a good video you can check out to see her beauty...
@@DontTrustAnybody75 I have a new t shirt design being worked on as we speak! Will feature a malinois front and center! Will keep everyone posted 🙏🏼
good info but the way he speaks is making me anxious
Who are you talking to?
Why all the YELLING???? Urgh
I’ll do my next video in sign language for you 🤟🏼
@@AndyKrueger Pardon?
