10 Reasons To Get A Belgian Malinois!

Haggerty Dog Training is the Gold Standard in Dog Training.

Our founder, Captain Haggerty, put dog training on the map. His passing in 2006 was a loss felt through the international dog world. His obituary hit the AP wire, The New York Times, The LA Times, and in newspapers as far away as Korea. “He did for dog training what the Beatles did for rock and roll,” “Dogs lost a champion,” were some of the quips about his life. While alive, it was said that “ He made dog training the respected profession that it is today” He was often called the “The man who trained the trainers” as his School for Dog Trainers produced some of the most acclaimed trainers fo all time.

Babette Haggerty, the owner of Haggerty Dog Training, is the only child of Captain Haggerty. Babette understands the significance of continuing the dog training legacy that her dad so freely passed onto her. Countless times over the decades, Babette has heard, “Your dad trained my dog, and he was the best dog ever”! Babette has synthesized his values and mission along with hers; “Train Everyday People to Have Once in a Lifetime Dogs”. Babette has appeared on multiple tv channels including The Today Show, ABC, Fox, been interviewed for newspapers throughout the country. Her experiences on the set of All My Children, One Life to Live, numerous commercials such as when she trained and supplied Jack Nicklaus’ Golden Retriever for an AT&T commercial are just some of the ways she has followed in her dad’s footsteps. As a single mom, who has a successful career and has her own dogs;
she understands the trials and tribulations of managing life and a new dog.
Babette’s mission is to Train Everyday People to Have Once in a Lifetime Dogs and that shines through in every dog that walks through our doors and leaves as a well behaved dog.

Guess I’m a crackhead times 2 😂. And I love my two crackheads.

I have a Mali and is calm compared to a Shepherd I had for 13 years. Loves to cuddle.

You are crazy, Malinois's are great dogs.They do the things you mentioned but with mine it is rare because I trained them for my families to bond with our life style. I have Daddy dog who is now fixed, Momma dog and four of their daughters.The only thing that they cannot be trained out of is barking at a leaf blowing across the drive way. These are the best dogs ever.

As a Malinois owner, this video provides the most complete disservice to the breed that I have ever seen. It is a true reflection of your training skills, and/or lack there of to train a well behaved Malinois. I have done it without spending money on a trainer. All Malinois are NOT created equal and have different levels of drive, some low drive, some high drive. Breeders breed all levels of drive of Malinois depending what the dog will be used for. All herding breeds need a job to do, including the Australian Shepherd (another herding dog) that is the #1 family dog in America and even they need training and exercise. Malinois are great family pets. The fact that you don't explain this in your video is a complete tragedy. They are not for everyone and do take commitment and work. They are not for lazy people. If you can't dedicate time to provide daily mental and physical exercise, then get a shitzu. Period, plain and simple. But to over dramatize your facts of what Malinois require is absolutely nonsensical.

It is true that a Belgian MalinNois can be a challenge.
They are a high energy, intelligent and fun breed to own.
All dog owners should train their dogs. I‘ve trained my girl from day 1.
She is a pleasure…sweet-natured and well-behaved.
Your rant is reminiscent of people trashing pit bulls, instead of crappy owners.
What kind of trainer are you?

This is so stereotypical!!! We are novices that purchased a beautiful male BW almost a year & a half ago. He has never torn up our furniture & he never barks!! If he barks it is to warn people, you’re too close. While he is very sociable he is also very protective however he turns off when given the word to. Yes, we have spent a lot of $ in obedience & protective training since he was 12 weeks old, we mostly did that for his happiness & our training!! He does require work time, play time & loves his cuddle times. He also takes 2 long naps a day. These dogs are extremely intelligent & I do totally agree that they are not for most suburban households!!
We spoke with the breeder & told her what we were looking for & we prayed for the right dog for our home. So while Talon is indeed a handful, especially as puppy he is also the very best & loyal friend ever!!!

This was just click bait! The title does not match the content.

I didn't buy my Malinois, I rescued her from the animal shelter. She had been tossed out and was living on the side of the road; she had zero socail skills and wasn't house-broken. Since December 20, 2021, it's been a crash course for me and her. She has great social skills and is friendly toward everyone she meets; but she is a freakin ball of energy and gets into her one-track-mind when she wants to go to her dog run. Yeah, she's eaten my couch and chair and dug up the tile at the front door, but we're working on her anxiety (it doesn't help when idiots light fireworks). She hardly ever barks at other dogs, loves children, can't figure out what cats are, and enjoys long drives. She even takes it upon herself to guard me while I sleep. So, I can't give her up because she's joined at my hip and she wouldn't behave for anyone else. I'm her human.

I don’t think a crackhead needs any kind of dog😂😂

[growyourownavocados]

That was excellent! I have a Chow Mal and although his energy level isn't as high as a pure Mali he definitely has all the qualities you mentioned.

The night of my 32nd birthday I went to see DOG with my PSD Mal, Kari. I came home to one of our other mals swimming in a sea of stuffing that was once a couch cushion 🤣 happy birthday dad

[shirleycolee]

Wow. I'm perfectly matched to take this on. Lol. I think a pet alligator would be less daunting.

[juliehindle]

LOL, I love this so much lol. My son has lamented after having a Malinois for a long time, and as a UK Dog Trainer myself, I have drummed on and on telling him don't do it, fortunately he shelved the idea of getting one, but I am sharing this video with him, it really made me laugh and I am sure it will give him some food for thought. Thank you. :)

[NIKO-qiyy]

Thanks. I'm going to get one. Thanks again 😜
