Take some time to really consider what kind of dog you want to shape. Imagine a few years from now, the things you'd like to do with your dog, how youd like them to be have, how close your like the relationship to be. When you have a fleshed out idea, start to work on obedience, socialising, play times, and activities that build the relationship youd like.

Then enlist a trainer, educate yourself with YouTube advisory dog trainers like Robert Cabral, John Fischer, stoney Dennis, and research the malinois breed...but maybe get a DNA test done to know for sure what you are dealing with. Breeds have general behaviour and character types that can help when assessing your dog in the future.

Above all rember the 3 most important things; dogs are family, dogs must behave to be fed, and playtime/ walks are training (really).

Have fun!! Lots of it!! My mal has changed my life and I'm rapid cycle bipolar!!
