How to Feed and Train a Malinois? Rough Analysis by Age Group
I believe many people have raised dogs before, perhaps different breeds, but there might be some similarities in feeding methods or training approaches. Without further ado, let's start today's topic - How to Feed and Train a Malinois?
Dogs vary in size, so first let's talk about feeding and what dietary differences there are among them based on size.
Puppies
Recommended: (1) Main food for puppies: canned food and kibble.
(2) Milk powder: There is special milk powder for feeding puppies. Some are skimmed milk powder. It's best to buy in bags for regular use; if you have many dogs or large-sized dogs, you can choose bucket packaging.
(3) Poultry egg yolk: Poultry egg yolks contain a lot of protein and are easy to digest and absorb.
(4) Meat: Puppies have fragile intestines, so meat should be cooked and given in small amounts.
Avoid: (1) Frozen milk.
(2) Meat containing a large amount of fat.
(3) Stimulating foods like salty or spicy ones.
(4) Small bone-type foods.
(5) Do not feed poultry viscera.
Medium and large dogs: Their diet is simpler; pay attention to a reasonable combination, avoid foods unsuitable for dogs such as chocolate, onions, and raw egg whites. Also, regardless of size, dogs should be fed regularly and in measured amounts.
Having talked about diet, why not discuss their training?
Each breed has different temperaments, so some are easier to train while others are harder. However, as long as your training methods are appropriate, whether using a collar with a leash or not, they will be very obedient. Usually, dogs start formal obedience training at six months old. If a dog matures later, the timing can be adjusted accordingly. Training requires patience from the trainer and self-control, as well as control and patience from the dog. If you have little or no experience dealing with dog behavior, it’s best to consult a veterinarian. Of course, if there’s a pet store nearby, you can find an experienced dog trainer to guide you.
Alright, that's the end of today's topic. Hope this is helpful to you.
