Hello from the Netherlands | New Member Introduction | Forums

Thank you for your welcome.

Our journeys in homesteading will be different because of the cultural, political and social and climate differences. But the end goal is the same

@Greenup yeah they are great dogs, very obedient, quick learners and have no fear, protect their boss with their own life. My dog loves to work so we did bite work and she totally loves it. Unfortunately we had to quit that field of work so we are now mostly doing other http://thehomesteadi.....mobedience training together.

i hope I don't come across like an aggression loving person :S but here are some videos about the malinois:

this is the father of my dog (she is female though):

I did IPO work, not KNVP work. But that was also a good training for a 'house dog'. I wanted to know how to train dogs as protection dogs so when I am in the middle of nowhere I have some protection. It is not likely I can win from a male intruder. But with the help of the dog

What do IPO and KNVP stand for?

Sorry it should be KNPV I think it the same as K-9 training? i am not sure. http://leerburg.com/.....vsknpv.htm

Ipo is schutzhund in English I think and is similar in training : http://www.pedigreed.....nd-and-ipo

Perhaps you can share what you know about protection training. I know I am interested and I am sure others would be too.

 of course I would like to share what I know, but it is a lot of practice and LOT's of hours as well, but it is so much fun. If you have any question please ask.

Are you female?

yup and perhaps you know that in Europe, weapons are forbidden by law.
