Training Without Conflict--TWC--Ivan Balabanova's Excellent streaming videos for many of your dog training needs. I especially recommend the "Puppy Bundle". Also has a number of interesting and informative "podcasts" on a wide-ranging number of topics related to the Belgian Malinois, dog sports, dog training, and various other dog-related subjects. In-Depth.
Michael Ellis--is highly talented and vastly experienced with a number of excellent streaming videos on nearly any dog training subject you would care to pursue! Extremely knowledgeable. Lays it all out in a fairly easy to understand format. Easy-going, approachable style.
Naked Dog Training. John Whittaker, former owner and operator of Canine Protection International (now called "Protection Dogs"--, of which Naked Dog was a part, is now focused on training dogs in Obedience and Real World functional manners--for anyone who wants a well-behaved dog--in any situation on, or OFF-LEAD! (CPI still imports, trains and sells Protection Dogs. Check out the videos on CPI's site to get a feel for the level of training they provide in Personal Protection). To see what is possible in advanced obedience training, check out Naked Dog! Inspirational! For those who live nearby, there are in-person classes, or you can take or send your dog to their Board and Train Program. Either way, in my opinion, this is the creme-de-la-creme of Obedience Programs!!! John Whittaker imported and trained both of the parents of my first ABI Service Dog and Protection Dog (Remes) from France.
Leerburg--if there is a useful piece of dog equipment, Leerburg has it! Along with a comprehensive set of instructions on how to fit it and/or use it! Their Amish-made leather leads and collars are truly excellent. Tremendous craftsmanship. Will outlast us all.
Leerburg also has a full-on catalogue of training videos for purchase, and free articles on a wide range of dog-related subject matter. It would take months to read it all! Very quick, responsive and knowledgeable Customer Service--Second to None!
Chewy. Carries the dog foods my dogs like--and they deliver. Their Customer Service is first-rate.
Annamaet Dog Food. My dogs (apparently) love the taste. It does not upset their digestive systems. It has most of what I want, and none of what I don't want in a dry food.
Inukshuk Marine25 Dog Food. Another "recommend". Reduces waste, feed less, and gives your Mali (even more) energy! Seriously.
Embark. Full Spectrum DNA Testing and Analysis. In my opinion a "must have" for serious Breeders.
AKC (American Kennel Club). A wealth of information on every breed, including the Belgian Malinois. Lists Breed Clubs in your area, as well as Dog Training Clubs, and nearby Trainers who offer the Canine Good Citizen Test. When you are ready to compete, there is a comprehensive Schedule of Events for every month of the year and in nearly every part of the country. Rally too far away? You can Video your dog completing the routines and enter from your home!
Toys I like:
Kong. A Kong will last (especially the Black Kongs) practically forever. Determined chewers have met their match!
Nerf. I like the the Nerf balls for games of Chase and Catch. Nearly indestructible, and have the right size (larger) which is good to prevent a larger dog from choking. Squishy, which make them easier to catch and just the right amount of bounce! Remove the squeaker--which, if the dog dislodges it--can be swallowed.
Other Good Stuff:
SportPet Airline Travel Crates. Study. Handles on the top. And Wheels that can be locked in place or removed. Openings are covered with heavy duty wire grills--not little plastic holes that will not stand up to a determined chewer! Great for shipping, and great as indoor 'mini caves' as well! Their Customer Service Team is First Rate!
