Re: Non gundog related (Belgian Malinois)
Yes she will get snippy when physically forced but I haven't had to lately now that I've been working with her. But I think any dog will when being physically forced, not understanding the situation with a stranger.But I had no choice at that time. She is doing well, her house manners are getting be...

Re: Non gundog related (Belgian Malinois)
I've been putting treats and food in there for her to freely get. She stretches out so her rear legs are not in Kennel.
