Yes, you need to teach the grips and stuff. You need to teach the confidence. So also with the Mali, sometimes it's difficult to recognize, but a lot of Malinois are coming really, really fast. But, well, maybe 70% is not secure of their own. So they are getting on speed and they are going to make that bite, yeah, maybe with different intentions. The intention is different.

And, well, my opinion is at the most, well, I'm happy not so many accidents happen, but... If it happens, it's most of the times that kind of dogs that are limping afterwards.

Well, I don't think that there's a lot of differences in we need to manage that that kind of things so if a dog is giving too much energy in the beginning maybe you should make the exercises longer so so the dog is going um to get used to how to to pace yes um yeah

endurance between the malinois and german shepherd german shepherds can also run out of gas quite early quite fast if they are not in shape i think they are more that's true that's actually true a lot of times um

Yeah, they have to give the energy. Right. And I think Malinois is genetically... They should handle it a little bit easier. Physically, but mentally they burn. Yeah, that's why we start quite easy with teaching the bite work.

Well, it helps. It helps if you're fit and if you can make the dynamic moves and can have the athleticism to let the dog miss and stuff. Because that's also a little bit about speed and timing and... But on the other hand, I've also seen very good results with people who weren't that fit and kind of things. And I'm also not really fit.

Yeah, sure. Yeah. If... You always must have in mind the end result that you want to get. The end result is also not a helper that is jumping around everything. That's just doing the program with certain exercises. Yeah. Jumping around to get the attention of the dog is not giving you an excellent guarding. An excellent guarding is a dog that wants to move you away from him.

Yes, I have. It depends if the dog is getting ready for competitions or not. So if we're preparing a dog for a competition season, my preference is to put the dog two months in front in program. and make little changes in the program just to keep the dog sharp. Interesting, yeah.

Because if you're not doing it, the dog is always trying to find his own benefit in a certain exercise after a lot of repetitions. A dog is going to find a way out of something. And well, if you haven't worked through that kind of things... it may pop up at the trial, what you don't want.
