Our Toolbox 🧰

Can you believe it's already December?

If you're like me, you're busy and you hate shopping…

So here are 10 products for your Malinois, family, and friends that our community regularly uses and loves.

Enjoy!

Weekly Bite

I've been working on rebuilding our toolbox, and I'm planning to share it with you on Christmas if all goes according to plan.

We might need a Christmas miracle to pull it off...

Until then, here's a sneak peek of some of those things. 😁 

Cold Weather Gear

1️⃣ Belgian Malinois Beanie

For keeping your head warm while your Mal keeps you on your toes. This one’s from Etsy and has got that vintage look.

2️⃣ Outdoor Stretch Pants

For staying comfortable, warm, and dry when you're out training. Arrak’s got options for men and women. These move with you and handle whatever weather throws at you.

3️⃣ Dog Boots

For protecting their paws from salt, ice, and other irritants. Non-stop dog wear is based out of Norway and makes gear for mushing. Aki's pair is arriving today from Norway!

4️⃣ Paw Wax

For all-season paw protection when boots feel like overkill. Musher’s creates a barrier against rough terrain, hot pavement, and winter chemicals.

Training Essentials

5️⃣ Training Belt

For holding food, toys, and poop bags without fumbling through pockets. Redline K9’s layers over jackets in cold weather.

A training pouch or vest works too if you prefer that style.

6️⃣ Leather Wrapped Rigid Collar

Serves as both a flat collar and agitation collar. Modern Icon's version seems to be the gold standard in our community. Use code 'K9BITES' to save 5%.

A leather wrapped v-type harness works as an alternative.

Enrichment Toys

7️⃣ Herding Ball

The jolly ball is perfect for unleashing their natural herding instincts.

8️⃣ Lick Mat

For indoor enrichment when it's too cold and slushy to go outside. SodaPup’s mats keep them busy and promote calm behavior.

Just For Fun

9️⃣ DNA & Health Testing Kit

For learning about your dog's genetics and what their relatives are up to. Embark's kit is the most comprehensive.

Make everyone in your house guess the results first, it's fun to see who's closest.

🔟 Malinois Ornament

For your rearview mirror or Christmas tree. This felted Malinois biting a tug is handmade and perfect for showing your breed pride.

TL;DR: These are the products our community actually uses and recommends. Stay tuned for the new version of our toolbox…
