“Don’t get a Malinois, they’re crazy!”

Every so often, a popular ‘military movie’ comes up featuring a K-9 (often a Belgian Malinois) and, in some ways rightfully so, any trainer with breed experience will caution you on adopting/purchasing one..

If you’re looking for a cuddly couch potato - likely not the right breed for you & I’d agree with the above..

Luna is a rescue from M.A.D. (Malinois and Dutch Shepherd) who was by the grace of God plucked from a kill shelter and adopted by an amazing family in New Jersey.

Why was she sent to TCC for training? Because she is, in fact, a little crazy! More often than not, the issues are chaotic walks, high prey drive preventing off leash activities, and restlessness in the house. Leave it to me, and all those are solved. Off leash the entirety of the take home session, and she will earn the ability to hang in the house far more often with a solidified place command..

Don’t shy away from the breed. Have someone with experience assist you in adoption and selection, and above all else, get your dog trained!
