Monde is a pocket sized Malinois that is pretty relaxed overall. She is not demanding, pushy, or all up in everyone's face, but will always be down for a good game of fetch. Think this is a girl that you would like to add to your home? Well, there are more details below!
If Monde was a human, she would be a great couch quality control inspector as she loves to chill on the couch and watch the world stroll by during her day. She can get pretty amped up when first coming out of her crate after not seeing you for a while, but hey aren’t you looking for someone who is excited to see you when you get home? While she can be a little bouncy upon release from her crate, she settled down pretty quickly. Sometimes if she is in her crate at home and she knows you are around she will whine or bark, but it is only if she knows you are still home.
Monde is a very socially stable dog. She has been on many different outings and behaves like a proper young lady. During these outings she met other dogs and adult-sized humans, and she was totally fine with them. She has never met any child-sized humans, nor has she met any cats or livestock, so those are unknowns about her at this moment. One thing that she did show some excitement for was sniffing out and finding “rat boxes” during sport practice, so we think that she might excel at Barn Hunt or doing some nose/scent work activities in the future. When in the car Monde rides just fine and does not show any reactivity. Additionally, she was fine at the vet’s office and has shown zero aversion to loud noises.
During Monde’s time in foster she has mastered the Sit, Out, and Kennel Up commands. Some commands she is still working on are Down, Heel, and Stay. She enjoys training for treats, so food is a solid motivator for her. When training there is not much correction needed with her other than a light leash pop or pressure, and she has had work with an e-collar to enforce boundaries. While she is quite biddable, she is still a Malinois who would like to stretch the rules if allowed. She is house broken and has had zero accidents in the home. Her foster says that she has never been destructive in the home, nor has she counter surfed or raided the trash but she is never left unsupervised either.
Monde is looking for her forever home that will continue working on her training and possibly let her go find some more rats at training! She has a quirk about going potty on her own schedule e.g. take forever and a day sniffing around the yard before finding the perfect spot. So if you have the patience to let her roam around for the perfect poop spot you are in luck and we have the dog for you! We think she could excel at Barn Hunt, Nose/Scent work, and possibly disc since she loves catching the ball out of the air. If you are interested in Monde please apply!
