Article: your dog at a young age. Between the ages of 4 to 14 (or possibly up to 18) weeks old a puppy goes through a period of socialization. You should expose your puppy to a wide variety of places and people during this period, so that it knows that new places and people are a normal part of life. Walk or carry your puppy in public places, such as busy shopping streets and marketplaces, so it gets used to being around people. With this type of early exposure, it is less likely to feel threatened when it sees someone it doesn't know. Bring a wide variety of people to your home. Having strangers in your home will teach the dog that it is normal for new people to show up and they shouldn't feel threatened by this occurring in the future. Play is essential in a dog's life and it can be very helpful in building a relationship with your dog. Malinois in particular are affectionate dogs that love spending time with their people. Thus, from a young age you should spend quality time with your dog every day. At least 30 minutes of play each day is a good amount for a small puppy, while an older dog can use more time to play and exercise with you. For example, you could give your Malinois a small rubber ball to play with. Throw the ball to the puppy and then practice fetching it. When creating a good foundation for training, you should make sure not to get angry or to be violent with the dog. Malinois do not generally respond to aggressive training techniques. Instead, avoid treating your puppy harshly while its still young so that it will trust you and will be enthusiastic about doing what you ask it to do. Manage your expectations for the dog's behavior and focus on creating a bond based in affection instead of fear. While it is important to stop negative behaviors, such as going to the bathroom in the house, redirection and showing the dog what it should do instead is much more effective than yelling or hitting the dog. Remember, when you are yelling at a dog it likely has no idea why you are yelling at it.
