I Trained My Dogs To A Military Standard | BIG DOGZ

WHEN Michael Rogosin got his first dog six years ago, a Belgian Malinois called Ares, he couldn't find a dog training group that matched his needs or vision. Michael had the ambition to train Ares to the highest standard possible so that the canine would be qualified as a K9 for Navy Seal and law enforcement. He also had the dream of abseiling down a building with Ares on his back. When Michael, who didn't have any prior experience, decided to train Ares himself, others called him an 'idiot'. Michael said: "[Belgian Malinois] is not the dog for a first-time pet owner. You have to have experience. I was scared but I was totally focused on the results." Michael wasn't put off by people's comments and kept going. He incorporated his military experience into his training methods and took to social media to document his journey. It was also through his social media that Michael has caught the attention of high-end clients and military around the world, including armed forces in Belgium, Spain and Germany. After becoming a licensed dog trainer, Michael set up his own dog training company, Tactical K9 Family, to take his dreams even further. Michael has purchased a second dog, Athena, and is planning to move to Los Angeles to continue building his business.

What I like the most about your videos is not only what the dogs can do but how much the dogs love you, trust you, are devoted to you and are visibly having fun and seeing that these dogs would do anything for you.💕 That says a lot about the dogs but also about you as a person. Dogs know who to trust and who is faithful to them. Thank you for showing this to us.

This guy knew how important it was to keep him engaged. Malinois will be unruly and chaotic if they are not working. They are bred for exactly this kind of activity. Congrats to you for following your gut! Kudos!

The owner himself is with same mentality as his dogs and they fit together well. Super active. Challenging himself and dogs not only physically but mentally to. Perfect owner for belgian malinois.

I did the same in the Army Rangers. Stella, and Michael saved my life several times.

No one can train your dog like you can! It just takes persistence and dedication and lots of patience.

[ChristineHansen-lybz]

Dude, You have done such an amazing job!! Not only are you very intelligent, but so are your very well trained dogs!

[PinkPaperRaven]

As a spectator, I feel the inner connection you have with your dogs. You and your dogs are one unit. The mutual respect I see brings tears to my eyes because it's exactly what I would want from any dog or cat owner. I love seeing you as a team and wish you and your dogs many wonderful adventures and the best of health.
Best regards from Germany

He put in the time and work, while developing a strong bond with his dogs. They are working dogs and be put them to work, while exposing the to various situations. People who hate on this guy have no idea how good he naturally is at training dogs. The proof is in the training, and his results are impossible to disprove. A lot of people get hi prey drive/working dogs in the hopes that they will just lounge around and be as lazy as their owners. Mals are not meant to be laying around as they will tear your house apart if not given the proper stimulus they require. Don’t buy this wonderful breed if you aren’t dedicated like this man is to training. My hats off to you sir by doing this breed a wonderful service by showcasing their abilities.

[evawelty]

No matter what people say you are and have been amazing at training these dogs. I have found my new favorite breed.

[debbiehamilton]

You've done a fantastic job training them. I was gifted to have had 2 Malinois in my life. A mother and son. Loved them with all my heart . Ring Sport, personal protection trained. Responded to German, French and Dutch. Their personalities were hilarious. I was blessed knowing and living with them.💜🐾🐾💜

[vasilikikayafas]

Love this breed! It’s amazing what you have done! Never let anyone tell you that you cannot do something!

[vfvf]

I love Belgium Mallinois. Such an intelligent beautiful dog and loving as well. And here I am a 72 year old woman loving them.

[pattyanderson]

After watching your vids, I don't know how anyone could say you don't have the experience to train dogs. If I were to want my dogs trained, you'd be my pick. Keep it up. You're very very good....I like watching you to, lol.

[MJibco]

WOW! Of course The Pet Parent is The Best Trainer!

[cherylhiggins]

Love how you work with them and sound of silence disturbed one of my favorite they are smart and so are you thank you God bless 🙌 you

[elix]

Responsible dog owner. These dogs love this type of stuff.

[catherinemorris]

I love this guy’s dogs!!!! Oh, and him too.

[oliviam]

Awesome perspective you have! And the fact that you are willing to take on the challenge of such an awesome breed. As the movie I saw(can't remember the name of it)... They are the Michael Jordan of dogs!! It doesn't matter what others say, whether you have the skills or not. "We all are not born with the skills... It is learned!!" and we all still have more to learn each day! Always remember animals are living breathing creatures that do think. Yes, they think! Having been around horse, cats, dogs etc for over 40+ years, every days an adventure. I just wish I had the opportunity to own one of these phenomenal dogs before getting too old to keep up with one! Your military training is exactly what they need. It satisfys their need for mental & physical motivation. Keep on pursuing excellence with your dogs!! Your a good owner & teacher.

I wish I could like this more than once. Throughout the video all I could think was, this guy knows what it's about inviting a working dog in to his home.
