Logos Over Pathos: Separating Emotion From Training - a podcast by Ty Brown

In today’s post, I want to address the problems that arise when we do things for ourselves rather than for our dogs. Without intending to offend anyone, I’d like to tell you about a conversation.

Earlier today, I talked with a women who had a Belgian Malinois who was over a year old and very aggressive. Now, if you're at all familiar with the Belgian Malinois, you know that this breed shouldn't be owned by most people. These dogs are amazing; I’m a huge fan of the breed, and I’ve imported many of them from Europe over the years. But the majority of people shouldn't own them, in the same way that sixteen-year-old kids should not own Lamborghinis. These are well-built, amazing machines, but kids don’t have the experience or the ability to handle them correctly. Belgian Malinois are great dogs for protection training and for police and military work, but they’re not really suited for average pet ownership. They’re far too much.
