Are Malinois Good Guard Dogs? Security Dog Training UK We often find that a short video showing and or explaining helps the student visualise what we have been talking about. After what to them seems like a long time in the classroom or watching various stages of a training procedure being broken down into bite size steps, can often become a little fuzzy, especially when a new student is around a dog that can be intimidating as it locks on to a bite sleeve or jacket, snarling and foaming at the mouth. So we go through a video with them to show and point out the details in a calm environment, where we can answer any questions the student may have.

Used in the right way and context the check chain is a wond

Malinois puppy working dog. What we do with our pups that show any promise as a potential candidate for protection or security work, is start them on a training programme tailored to their individual strengths.
