Like to hear by someone who occasionally or frequently is swimming or have contact in sea and salt water
Do you need to clean it every time afterwards?
Did you notice any degradation on plastics or parts?
What has your journey been like with your Malinois?
I’m considering the breed and would really like to hear from real owners about the reality of living with one, beyond the training videos and social media highlights.
I’m particularly interested in understanding how people manage a Malinois alongside work, family, social life, travel, and other daily responsibilities.
A few questions:
How much time do you realistically dedicate to your dog each day?
Can your Malinois relax and settle at home, or do they constantly need stimulation?
Are they able to stay alone for reasonable periods of time without developing behavioral issues?
Can they patiently wait while you’re busy, or do they need to be involved in everything you do?
How much ongoing training is required once the basics are established?
Were you able to train your Malinois yourself, or did you need help from a professional trainer?
If you worked with a trainer, was it optional or something you consider essential for the breed?
Looking back, do you think a motivated first-time owner can successfully raise and train a Malinois, or is previous dog experience almost a requirement?
How much of your dog’s behavior today is the result of formal training versus simply maturity and consistency over time?
What was the biggest challenge you didn’t anticipate before getting one?
Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the breed’s needs?
Do you feel the rewards outweigh the effort and sacrifices?
How do you prevent boredom, frustration, or loneliness when life gets busy?
Do they sleep independently, or do they prefer to be close to their owner at night?
If you could go back, would you choose a Malinois again?
I’d especially appreciate hearing from owners with regular jobs and family commitments.
The more honest and detailed, the better. I’m trying to understand not only the best parts of owning a Malinois, but also the challenges, risks, and compromises that come with the breed.
It seems an attractive experience to own a a Malinois but Im wondering if I can afford having one in terms of time and capability
I read that it’s a very active intelligent dog that needs constant stimulation. Like at least 1-2 hours a day
Otherwise it will get bored and develop a destructive attitude
On the other side the pic I see here it seems there are other sides of it.
About my time: I will have timeand want to have a running dog partner. I can run long for more than one hour. I also like to learn how to train it an deficate time for it but
I m not sure I can dedicate 2 hours a day training it but I can definitely stay with it at home. But if the dog needs constant attention n movement that could be a problem since the family has also duties and it will surely stay for some hours on his own
Id like to hear real life experiences ti understand If I should abandon the idea because I won’t be able to manage it and it willbe unhappy or if its not really that extreme this dog continuously searching stimuli attitude

Is it ok for battery health to use NOT Apple brand original chargers?
Are there some specific parameters like watt volt ampere to consider to not fry beforehand the battery?
Talking about either macbook pro and iPhone…
Hello I'm personally discovering now (late) automations/shortcuts on the iPhone and they might be useful
Two use case that I find useful to set up :
- automation that alerts me when battery charge reach 80% (so that i can uplug my iphone...)
- shortcut to resize inplace a photo (so i will save space on iphone and icloud)
Do you have other use case that you setup that are useful?
Or any resource on internet?
