What I Do With My Belgian Malinois When We're NOT TRAINING!

oh yeah what's up everyone Andy Krueger here today's video I'm gonna show you what I do with my Belgian Malinois when we're not training let's go [Music] so it is very simple I give my boy Freddie one of his favorite toys ball on a string and I let him run around the property now I realize not everyone has access to such property but when you own a Shepherd whether it's a German Shepherd or a Belgian Shepherd giving them this free outside time is very important to the mind so if you don't have access to something you gotta figure out a way because it just helps balance out your all your training and your lifestyle [Music] thank you [Music] and this is what we do I roam around Freddy runs around with the ball in his mouth he pees on everything that he can find and we just have a nice relaxing time if you've seen any of my other videos you'll know that our training regiment is legit it's very strict it's very technical we have an entire program that we're striving towards obedience agility and bite work a lot of rules to follow so to offset the intensity of that training and keep a balanced mind this kind of stuff's really important I mean look at this goofball [Music] but okay I love you I love you [Music] oh yeah it's a Shepherd Shepherds were originally designed to be Farm dogs they're meant just to be out in the field all day now times have changed and I know most Shepherds don't live like that but we have to find some kind of way to satisfy that part of them foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] foreign now I know when a lot of people get Shepherds they go oh high energy High Drive I'm gonna exercise the dog a lot I'm gonna take the dog on Hikes I'm gonna walk it every day I'm gonna take it to Dog Daycare I'm gonna take it to the dog park I'm gonna get a lot of exercise a lot of exercise it's not all about the exercise it's the type of exercise I like this exercise for him because he's just totally free he can run he can jog he can lay down he can have the ball it's just his decision there's no other dogs to contend with playing with other dogs going for a walk looking around this is him like totally at peace if he was just playing with another dog instead of course I'm sure he'd get some exercise but it's not very tranquil it's not he's one with the environment you know he's kind of like oh the whole time you need me to do it one more time oh the whole time that's not what I want I want him nice and calm one with nature going for a walk of course it's better than not but still you're walking the dog oh what's that on the ground oh look another dog there oh I'm on leash I can't go that way there's a lot going on this is letting the shepherd be the shepherd Fred boy got that shade [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] it's not a bad life [Music] [Music] foreign and the best part is my job as a Handler right now is really easy so I like that [Music] the balance of owning a dog no one advocates for training training training training more than I do trust me but if you're actually meeting your training criteria to my standards beneficial for the dog to have time to just be a dog Goof Off do whatever he wants because when he comes back to training he's gonna be refreshed he's going to be ready to work it's like taking a little vacation you recharge you get away from work you come back fresh and you're ready to go so giving the dog breaks should actually make your training stronger now everyone don't be like well Andy said don't do any training let's just leave them to balance your training better be good though [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] the result is you get a pure genius like Freddy look at him it's like his his head is just exploding with knowledge [Music] do you need a shopper do you need it in the apartment well I want it well I want a Ferrari doesn't mean I'm gonna go out and buy one does your environment suit your dog you gotta think that you can't go well no it's small and cramped with no yard but we're gonna go for a lot of walks I'm gonna hike with him all the time I really want to think about agility maybe dock diving um I could always go to daycare if you know get some energy out environment is everything all right y'all I hope you enjoyed this little video a day in the life of Mr Freddy when he's not training let me know in the comments tell me how you spend the off time with your dog hit my patreon patreon.com Andy Krueger there's actual training on there actual training on there check it out we'll see you guys on the next video did you like that session Freddy did you like it did you feel one with nature one with the environment funny answer me
