Anybody have a Malinois or other high-energy dog?
I have a 5 month old Malinois, got him a couple months ago. Love him. He's the typical high-motor player. Always wants to play ball, follows everywhere I go and gets there first.
I'm looking for other things to give him to do. I play ball with him, take him hiking or walking every day, have multiple toys for him, have a bungee toy hanging from the tree. I've looked in to Schutzhund training for him but it's not for me right now. What do you do for your high-energy pup? ![]() |

I think these dogs like to chase down terrorists with Seal teams, in case you do that in your area.

Of you are thinking of things they can do on their own... I'm also interested as my Louie is also a high energy guy. He loves playing with his sisters but they are too old to keep up with him. |

--- We believe that Louie is a cross between a Kelpie and a Blue Tick Coonhound but we have only seen photos of mama (Kelpie) as he was a rescue. His cow spots and the brown socks on his legs don't really match with a Heeler but dead on with the Coonhound. ![]() Also... he doesn't bark as much as he screams at things (bawl mouth) like the coonhounds do. But until I get a doggy DNA test on him... I really don't know for sure. Also... never heard of flirt sticks but looking them up right now. |

My Jack Russell was so high energy in his young/adult years he about drove me and the wife nuts. We found out he liked to chase laser lights when we tried to get our cat to play with it. He went nuts over it. I usually ran him ragged like 2 or 3 times a day with that thing. I actually bought a little more expensive one that had a bigger rechargeable battery just for him. If he takes any interest in it, it is a great way to run him ragged. I either had to do it inside or early in the morning or later at night so he could see it along our privacy fence.

The dog we had on our team used to love to run beside us when we rode bikes around, we bought a small football to throw around between us that he chased. The team handler would have the dog pull him around on a skateboard.
I will call the handler and see what else he did and see if I can give you more ideas. |

Yeah we had a handler and dog attached to our team for a deployment, so we had a few months before we deployed to train together.

Cool. How was it? The bond between handler and dog was probably something to see.
