Ever notice the thing that makes your Malinois fun to show off is also what makes them relentless at home?

Here are 5 new tricks you can teach them to channel their energy and impress your neighbors.

Weekly Bite

1️⃣ Middle Position

Middle position is your Malinois parking themselves between your legs, facing forward, until you release.

Best for: Protecting your dog when an off-leash dog charges.

2️⃣ Target Locking

Target Locking is the cue that fixes your dog's eyes on a specific point and holds them there.

What the clip doesn't spell out: Throw the reward AT the target, not from your hand. That's the difference between shaping focus and luring it.

Best for: Redirecting their focus onto different rewards, threats, or objects.

3️⃣ Touch

Touch is the act of cueing your dog to place a body part on a specific target.

Best for: Sending your dog to a target across the room with one cue.

4️⃣ Urban Parkour

Urban Parkour is your dog stepping onto any elevated surface and holding all four paws exactly where you placed them.

Best for: Turning every park bench, stump, or curb into your dog's stage.

5️⃣ Leg Weaves

Leg weaves are your dog threading figure-eights through your moving legs while staying in sync with your pace.

Best for: Ending a session with the trick your neighbors will film.

Bottom Line: Tricks are great ways to give your Malinois a productive outlet to channel their drive into.
