Belgian Malinois dogs are renowned for their intelligence and trainability, often finding roles in military special forces where they are trained to remain calm even while repelling or parachuting. But what does it take to convince such a smart breed to perform a seemingly challenging trick?

One video has captured the essence of this training. Viewers are treated to a Belgian Malinois being guided to perform a stunt with water involved, as evidenced by the comments pointing out the "splash zone" on the ground. This isn't the first attempt, showcasing the dedication and effort put into the training.

For those wondering how to convince a Belgian Malinois to perform, the secret lies in a combination of consistency, error-free guidance, and lots of treats. As one commenter suggested, tying the task to the promise of dog food can be a powerful motivator. The video's background music, "Für Aleash," adds a whimsical touch as the dog channels his inner cat for those delectable treats.

The comments section is abuzz with admiration and humor. One viewer imagines the dog sitting atop a pile of snacks, showered with belly rubs for his performance. Another highlights the confidence required to train such a smart breed, noting that smart dogs like Belgian Malinois tend to learn faster in their first two years, though training complexity increases with age.

Interestingly, some viewers point out that it isn’t difficult to convince a human to take a video, as many do so spontaneously. The dedication of the trainer and the cleverness of the dog culminate in a captivating video that leaves audiences in awe.

Ultimately, this video is a testament to the incredible abilities of Belgian Malinois dogs and the patience and skill required to train them. Whether it’s for military purposes or simply for fun, the bond and communication between dog and trainer are key to achieving such impressive feats.

Belgian Malinois. They're incredibly smart and trainable. Amazing animals. They literally will train them to not freak out while repelling or parachuting with military special forces. I suspect some of them even enjoy it.

It's not difficult to convince a human to take a video. Many even just decide to do that on their own, spontaneously.

I must watch the conclusion of this video showing him sitting on a huge pile of snacks while numerous concubines shower him with belly rubs for excelling in this trick and being the top dog.
