How to train a Malinois to pick up things? First, tie a leash on the Malinois, grab the dog collar with one hand, throw the toy nearby with the other hand, then give the command "pick it up" and let go at the same time. The Malinois chases the toy, waits for it to pick it up and then gives the command "come here", pats the dog and praises it. Then put your hand under the dog's chin, give the command "Give me", take the toy back, and reward the dog when it lets go.

1. The dog is on a leash and kept under control. Hold the dog collar with one hand and throw the toy to a close place with the other hand.

2. Give the "pick up" command and at the same time let go of the hand holding the dog's collar. If the dog has been trained to "pick up things" and "bite things", it should chase the toys.

3. After the dog picks up the object, order it to "come here", squat down to encourage the dog to come closer, and gently pull the dog leash if necessary.

4. Pat the dog firmly and praise it as a "good dog" to reward its obedience. Put your hand under the dog's chin to prevent the toy in its mouth from falling.

5. Give the command "Give me" and take the toy out of the dog's mouth. As soon as the dog relaxes the toy, praise it as a "good dog."

6. Command the dog to "sit" to remind it that you are still in control of the situation, and finally give it the retrieved toy as a reward.
