Does the Belgian Malinois Like to Bite People? It Mainly Depends on the Level of Training
The Belgian Malinois is a dog originating from Belgium. This dog’s agility, intelligence, and obedience are extremely high, making it the top choice for guarding. The Malinois has a lively temperament, enjoys playing with various dogs, and has very strong social skills. However, due to its strong character, when playing with other dogs, the Malinois likes to act as the leader. But not all dogs will obey, at which point the Malinois will chase other dogs. If a dog runs to the owner, the Malinois will get angry and jump up to bite the owner. This is a very bad habit of the Malinois, but with proper training, this bad habit can be greatly improved.

Pets have their own language, which owners certainly do not understand, but every pet has its way of expressing itself. The Malinois likes to use biting the owner as a way to express what it wants. Since they have no hands, only legs, when they want to play with the owner, they use biting to communicate. However, this is actually a very bad habit. At this time, the owner can teach the Malinois some special expression methods, such as tugging at pants or barking, etc., but this requires a process of adjustment and the owner must be patient.

During the Malinois’s growth period, their teeth are very itchy, so they often tear and bite objects, and more severely, they bite people. Only through biting can they relieve the itchiness in their teeth. At this time, the owner needs to buy some special teething tools to help them get through this period. If this method doesn’t work, the owner must not tolerate it, and should scold loudly. If the dog still does not listen, some necessary punishment measures need to be taken, but never be too violent, as the Malinois also has a very strong temperament.

If the dog likes to bite strangers, you can eliminate the dog's fear of strangers with the help of your friends. The method is actually very simple: have a friend feed the dog, and make sure the dog sees that the food is actually given by the owner to the friend. This will help the dog understand that this person is trusted by the owner and is not a dangerous figure. Over time, the dog will be less likely to bite people.
