Training a Belgian Malinois, Dutch Shepherd, or German Shepherd?

Pat Stuart’s free cheat sheet & video course 🎁 might save you from the mistakes I made with my first two.

It’s felt like two different worlds training Lexi (Malinois rescue) vs Aki (KNPV).

Mainly since Lexi was a family pet, while Aki is training to be a personal protection dog.

In 10+ years working with Mals, Dutchies, and GSDs, I’ve spent thousands — private lessons, group classes, online courses, decoy sessions… you name it.

If I could go back and start with just one trainer?

I’d choose Pat Stuart.

You might already know Pat from the Canine Paradigm podcast.

If not, here’s why I trust him — and why you probably will too.

Like many of us, Pat first fell in love with Belgian Malinois after seeing them work — during his time in the Australian Special Forces.

Inspired, he got one for himself.

But not just any Malinois.

He unknowingly bought a Mal with nerve and aggression issues — way more than he bargained for.

Sound familiar? 😅

What I love about Pat is he didn’t give up.

He became obsessed with figuring it out.

That obsession turned into a full-time career as a trainer, decoy, competitor, and eventually, Assistant Regional Director for PSA in Australia.

And now?

He’s packed his hard earned lessons into a free cheat sheet + a 50-minute video called The Overview.

It’s everything I wish I had when I started with Lexi and Aki — a real 50,000-foot view of dog training.

Pat breaks it all down into 3 simple steps:

1. Motivate

2. Communicate

3. Coach

But after I finished it, I wanted more than just a cheat sheet.

I wanted the how, not just the what.

So I grabbed Pat’s full Wavetops Course — a 6-hour deep dive packed with lessons, stories, and a 40+ page course guide to apply the methods he’s learned over the last decade.

If I’d had this from day one, I would’ve saved hundreds of hours (and a few grey hairs).

As a fellow Malinois lover, Pat’s been generous enough to offer our community 10% off The Wavetops Course.

This saves you around $85 AUD — when you use the code: K9Bites at checkout.

If you’re ready to go deeper and learn exactly how to motivate, communicate, and coach your dog to success — you can grab The Wavetops Course (with the discount) below.
