I’m looking at doing Kinna’s IGP1 in October. She has really improved over the last few months but I don’t want to push it. She has been one of my harder dogs to work.
Prepping for Neila’s IGP3. We had a few things to work on over winter and I hope they have all come into place and we will be ready.
A new toy I am trying out. Mr Pivo got a little lost while training since it’s suppose to follow Kinna. So far it’s working ok and I’ve done most of our marker videos for our new course we are working on for clients.
I’m hoping to possible do Kinna’s IGP1 and Neila’s IGP3 in a few weeks. Just a few things to work on. Fronts coming in closer and straight.

Structured social classes are now listed in the client portal. There will not be one in July but there is one scheduled for August to November.
Tracking practice in hopes to do Neila’s IGP3 and Kinna’s IGP1 in the fall.
Playing ball with your dog doesn’t have to be crazy. I’ve seen so many dogs obsessed with it, their pupils dilated almost like an obsession. In my puppy contract I have that owners health guarantee is void if they play excess chuck it , aretrieve or jumping.
Remember hip and elbow dysplasia is not only genetic is environmental and this can do so much harm to the dog’s joints.
I have a chiropractor come for my dogs every 8 weeks. We have had this conversation and a few dogs she has worked with were told to stop or cut down immensely.
After working Neila last year but using a chuck it ball as a reward for her obedience, I threw the ball but it got stuck and launched straight up. Of course a Malinois react first and think second. Neila launched straight up and came down funny. Well that ended up being a pulled hamstring with 12 weeks of rehab, exercises to work through it, keeping her calm and mostly leash walks and water treadmill. I haven’t played ball like that with her since. My dogs health isn’t worth it. I’ll use toys like these and do things differently.

All set up and ready to go at Nationals in Hamilton.
We will be updating our training information we send to clients and uploading videos as well. Eventually we will have an online course to send to clients. Here is a quick preview.
Kinna working on tighter blinds and searching in the blinds. There is a toy in 5 of the 6 but she didn’t get them all. Her corners are looking good. The white sticks are out to keep her tighter as she is suppose to stay between the sticks and the blinds. #belgianmalinoisofinstagram #belgium #igpdogsport #igptrial #igptracking #igptraining #igpobedience #IGP #malinois #igpobediencetraining
Kinna and I are registered to do her BH this weekend. I’m hoping things go well. Kinna has been harder to work with compared to my other dogs. She definitely makes things more challenging and makes me work for everything we get. She has a great natural talent for a lot of stuff but it’s getting her to focus on the things we are currently doing has been some work.
