Family Protection Dog

Why is the Belgian Malinois so Popular?

The Belgian Malinois is an extremely popular working breed. Commonly employed by military and police units as well as commercial security handlers, it also excels at family protection work, and is one of our favourite dogs to work with. Highly intelligent, it is one of the easiest breeds to train for a working role given their speed of learning. Originally developed to protect and herd livestock, it is a true working breed whose versatility is only matched by German and Dutch Shepherds. It is one of the few breeds capable of both protection and detection work, and equally comfortable in

Why do I need to Train My Dog?

Owning a dog is a privilege and often amazing experience. These animals are incredibly loyal and loving companions, but do require proper and considered training. Dogs need to be trained for a number of reasons, which this blog will offer a brief overview of. Perhaps most importantly, training is the best vehicle for allowing dogs to assimilate to their owners’ lives and homes. While dogs did evolve to become easy to live with and alongside, they must still be taught certain behaviours, as well as what is not acceptable to do at certain times. It is relatively easy to train

Dog Safety in Summertime

As temperatures rise in summer, it’s vital to remember that dogs experience and react to heat quite differently to humans. As delightful a time as summer is, owners must be mindful that their dogs require special care and attention to promote their health and wellbeing. Dogs are inherently highly vulnerable to heat injury, with 70°F being at the lower range of the danger zone. Symptoms of heat injuries include heavy panting, difficulty breathing, appearing lethargic and uncoordinated, and collapsing or vomiting. While situations which expose your dog to heat injury should be avoided at all costs, if you believe they

Easy at-Home Dog Enrichment Ideas

Dogs are some of the most intelligent of all animals, and require considered enrichment which allows them to express natural behaviours to ensure their wellbeing. One short walk first thing in the morning then spending most of their day alone without mental or physical stimulation is no way to keep a dog, and the importance of good enrichment cannot be overstated. Owners have a number of easy ways to provide their dogs with at-home enrichment, and we hope this blog shows you how achievable this is. Enrichment is easiest to deliver when it is passive, and one of the most

Should I get a German Shepherd or Malinois as a Protection dog?

We are often asked whether we recommend a client gets a German Shepherd or Malinois as a protection dog. As both breeds are excellent guardians and share many of the same characteristics, answering this question is not straightforward. The German Shepherd and Malinois share a common heritage as pastoral protectors who were developed and worked in the borderlands separating France, Germany, Belgium, and Holland. At heart, both breeds are highly intelligent, energetic, and protective dogs who thrive when given a job. They are often found employed as police or military working dogs, and have excelled in these kinds of roles.

Investing In A Protection Dog

Investing in a protection dog can provide additional security and peace of mind for individuals or families who require higher levels of assurance against violent threats such as criminals or terrorists. These highly trained dogs are as comfortable acting as a protector as being a family pet, and a very effective way to upscale home security provision. Protection dogs are a powerful deterrent against to potential threats. With keen senses, instincts, and extensive training, they can be more effective than human bodyguards, or high-tech physical security infrastructure. Trained to detect suspicious activities and respond by alerting their owners, these dogs

Enrichment for the Belgian Malinois

Animal enrichment is the provision of activities which promote the performance of natural behaviours. Dog enrichment should focus on the species as a whole, as well as traits unique to a particular breed. So, while all dogs should be encouraged to participate in scent-based enrichment, a Bloodhound will almost certainly not benefit from herding activities as much as a Border Collie as opposed to long-distance tracking. The Belgian Malinois is a fantastic working breed. Combining seemingly boundless energy with extreme intelligence, courage, and protectiveness, it is a dog which demands a lot from its owners and handlers. Unless given a

Kennels, Dog Beds, And Crates

First-time dog and puppy owners are faced with any number of choices for leads, feeds, toys, and more. Given the size of the pet industry, choosing what to get your dog is often harder than one might assume or expect. Where your dog sleeps is no different, and we are often asked whether we recommend owners use an outdoor kennel, proper bed, or crate. While we do not object to outdoor kennels as somewhere a dog can temporarily relax during the day, we never recommend that family dogs are allowed to routinely sleep in them. Outdoor kennels ultimately serve to

How The Police Use Dogs

Police forces around the world have made extensive use of dogs for hundreds of years. With their enduring utility, it is hard to imagine the police dog as a capability which could ever become obsolete. Broadly speaking, police dogs have two functions which occasionally overlap: protection and detection. In the US police dogs will often be able to offer both capabilities whereas in the UK they are usually separated. Protection work hinges on a police dog’s ability to bite a suspect, as well as its resulting deterrence. While sometimes incorrectly viewed as an escalation of force, deploying bite-trained police dogs

Can I Leave My Dog Alone At Home?

One of the most common questions we are asked is whether or not dogs can be left alone at home, and if so then how long can they be left for? Unfortunately, we are unable to give a single easy answer. Dogs will all respond differently to being left alone, so it is instead better to offer guidelines that can be applied to individual animals. As a general rule, it is preferable that dogs are left alone as infrequently as possible and if this is necessary then only for relatively short windows of time. As dogs are such social animals,
