Typhoon - Located in Georgia

Typhoon - A Handsome Belgian Malinois! Male • Neutered • ~2 years • 51 lbs • Low Drive • Potty-trained • Southeast GATyphoon is a sweet soul who loves being close to his people. His calm nature, combined with his eagerness to please, makes him an ideal companion for someone wanting a loyal dog without the intense Malinois drive. He has a wonderful off switch and is perfectly content to relax by your side after a walk or bit of playtime. He bonds deeply once he trusts you and thrives in a calm, predictable environment.Typhoon shines at: • Crate training - he does well in a crate when alone and all night, sometimes putting himself to bed • Easy Correction - he responds quickly to gentle redirection, respects consistent boundaries, and wants to please. • His Person - once he bonds, he trusts his person and is comfortable with almost anything: sharing toys, having food & bones taken, and letting them touch and inspect paws, ears, mouth. • Walks - when leashing up he is focused, sits, and waits patiently. On leash he is polite, adjusting his position beside, behind, or in front depending on his comfort level. On the return home, he gets most excited and may need light reminders to avoid pulling. • Shadow Dog - he is content to just be near his personTyphoon's favorite things: • Snacks - treats make him eager to learn and engage. • Squeaky Toys - he loves noisy toys, especially squeaky tennis balls…though they don't survive him for long! • Scratches - thrives on attention, including cuddles, pets, and brushing.Typhoon's practicing: • Food Patience - has learned to take treats gently but still gets excited at feeding time. Enrichment tools like snuffle mats or frozen kibble Kongs slow him down and practice good manners. • Trusting Others - warms up gradually to strangers (snacks help!) and does best with calm, low-pressure meetings. • Vehicle Loadup - he is nervous getting in the car and rushes to exit, so needs patient coaxing or lifting in. Once settled in the backseat or crate he rides comfortably. Typhoon is still learning about: • Kids - his experience with children is unknown. • Other animals - he seems to do well with other dogs, but his reaction to cats is unknown. On walks, his interest in wildlife and critters is mild- sometimes curious, sometimes unsure, and often indifferent. Typhoon's hoping this holiday season is curled up in a home of his own by your side. All MAD dogs come with a Fi Collar and 6 month subscription.
