Our Belgian Malinois is always chasing our children around in our yard barking at them, presumably trying to round them up. Like yours, she will stop on command but until then, the instinct takes control. We were able to train her to “put the kids to bed” where she actually “herds” our kids (ages 8 & 10) up to their bedrooms and then lies in the hallway until they are asleep.

Oh, Belgian Malinois’s are beautiful dogs. My dog is a rescue mutt so I’m not sure where the herding instinct comes from. She looks like a perfectly proportioned miniature golden lab. She is now nine years old, but most people think she’s a lab puppy. She’s been a wonderful companion.
