Do you have to do any specific training with him in preparation for his return? Keep posting here when you get your girl - I'm sooooooooo envious!!!! Bet you won't be when I'm sleep deprived and chewed on at the sleep deprivation and chewing! We have to expose him to different environments i.e. parks, shopping ctr, train station & market, different surfaces i.e. long grass, stairs & tiles, and different situations i.e. crowds, night walks and playground equipment. Sense maximisation - find the assistant (who's hiding). Also play - as in the 2ball game and bite rag, and also find the toy. On top of this they need to be walked twice a day totalling a km for each month of their age i.e. 3mths = 3kms. It sounds a lot but the play sessions are to be kept minimal and not too often - and I enjoy walking him in different places (he's actually a very sociable pup ). When walking him he's not to walk beside me either - you are to encourage them to walk out in front, which is easy with this type of pup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Rusty Bucket Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Is Mia Skogster's dog a malinois? I'm not sure if it is walking nicely or walking with obsession... Is very impressive all the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She didn't use a clicker at the seminar. Anyone who went to her seminar will tell you she uses "Goooooooood" and "Oi Oi Oi" a lot (she's a tiny person with a strong accent & a huge voice ) as reward and no reward markers and "yes" (which is the same as using the clicker ;) ) She's not against Prong collars either Edited October 10, 2011 by gsdog2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
