If I were 30 years younger I'd love to have a Belgian Malinois ! I trained my own hunting dogs which we lab's well enough so that I was asked to train dogs for other people back then , I turned down the offers . because I felt they wouldn't continue with working with the dog to keep it in shape .

As you can tell a high energy dog needs plenty of stimulation or it will start destroying things ha ha they just can't help themselves .
The one thing that I also did wrong was giving to many vocal commands not a single word and a hand movement or gesture .

Border Collies are similar. We are currently living with our third and fourth. Awesome, awesome dogs (see my avatar - they are biological brothers 2.5 years apart.) Scary smart and very trainable but also super high energy requiring not only physical stimulation but also mental stimulation.

Love them like we can’t explain to anyone who doesn’t own dogs…..
 
Believe it or not but a long time friend of mine who didn't make it through his cancer treatment when we both were fighting cancer used border cookies for decoy dogs while hunting coyotes he fitted both with wide leather collars with steel spikes all around each collar , Charlie told me once the coyotes never got the upper hand on those 2 dogs of his and he removed a lot of coyotes from northern Montana over the years !

Those are some fine looking dogs you have there !
 
My 15th summer was spent bucking hay for a friend of my Dad's...a cattle ranch near Adin California. I learned quite a bit that summer. One thing was that my Remington Targetmaster single shot .22 could indeed kill a Coyote...but I had to be quick on the trigger...because if his Russian Wolfhound/greyhound mix spotted the Coyote first, there was no need for me to shoot.
