Want to training a belgian malinois - Page 1

I have a 6 mouth old belgian malinois that i want to train for dual purpose k-9 but i need to know how much money well i have to put in to the dog so he can be a police k-9. He has had ob and his commands are in german i need  now?. I will also be training german shepherd dutch shepherds to. 

Just gonna say this. You have a lot to learn. Asking questions on a forum will count for probably 15% of what you need to learn. The other 85% you will learn from going to a club (whether it be a schutzhund club or anything else). Go to a trainer. There is way more to learn than just teaching your dog german commands. I cant even explain fully in one comment. Just find a trainer. Work with a club. You have to be patient. Also i cant help but notice you saying that you have 2 gsd, 2 malinois, and two puppies. Then you say you want to get two more malinois. I am wondering if 1997 is your birth year (hence your username) and 6 dogs will be a whole lot of work for a 15 year old. Good luck

Wow, to train for a dual purpose k9, it's not just taking any dog and putting training on him. A lot of it is in genetics. Nerves only go so far. I've seen some really wellbred Mals before that don't make the cut because they're not as strong nerved as they need to be. Training for sport is one thing, training for a dog that people rely on to save multiple lives, totally different. You can't just take what you have, put some OB on it, get it to bite a suit and you're done. Number one, who is the police that is going to be handling your dog? Are you a cop? Or is it just to train for a dual purpose and sell it? Because if that's the case, go to your local police k9 unit, get them to evaluate the dog and decide whether or not the dog is genetically capable of  becoming a dual purpose k9. Most k9 units train their own dogs or buy from people who have trained these dogs for years. You can't just train one, especially if you've never done it or been around the methods and steps of doing it. I'm sorry if this isn't what you want to hear, but this is my opinion on the situation. I've been around several dual purpose police k9s, as well as multiple trainers. It's not something that I can just take a Mal from a breeding and decide to do with. It's a variety of factors that play into it. They don't just take in every Mal or Shepherd. Like I said, I'm sorry if this isn't what you want to hear. But why do you want to train your dog for dual purpose? Doing sport is a lot easier training for first timers. Hence going to clubs and learning how to bring drives out and control them. But a lot is on the genetics of the dog. Not every dog is cut out to be a police or military dog, I don't care about the lines, and the same goes for sport. Some are just good dogs.
