Taming your first, or fifth, Malinois puppy can be exciting, baffling, and a little nerve wracking! Malinois rarely fit the "normal" puppy mode, so you must be creative, think outside the box, and be willing to try new things. We offer several taming options, in person only, in person / remote combination, and remote only. Raising a well adjusted Malinois to be a polite member of society takes a lot of work. Our students are expected to work hard and do their homework. There is no magical Malinois dust that will transform your furry Tasmanian devil into a tamed partner. It will take lots of blood (less if you wear gloves), sweat and tears, but our programs are designed to make your journey as smooth as possible.
The following is just a snapshot of what we offer in our Malinois Master Class under the Puppy Progression Files. This course is free to all Stalrosenhof Intl. K9 owners.
