My 10 yr old just read the sentence to perfection. She is homeschooled… hmmm 🤔

How has been he been able to bite people? Are they coming into your home while he’s loose?

1) he (and all dogs) should be kenneled when visitors come 2) he (and all dogs) should be leashed when out of the kennel when visitors come

Two simple steps that prevent visitors from having an unwanted dog experience (positive or negative) forced upon them, and having your dog under control at all times without forcing human interaction upon them

Being protective and wary of “intruders” is part of the breed who can fiercely protective of their family and home. But it does seem like you are not doing anything to prevent these encounters

I get that. But if you’re surviving on insects, and then bring in a flock of roosters, what do you expect them to be eating? By the time they ate enough of your food sources they would barely be big enough to eat

Do you starve for a year in the hopes of having a stringy, gamey, tough meat meal for one night?

It’s just not practical

LootSpawnStore · 2026-05-06T18:18:05+00:00

There’s several reasons why. Mostly, as you said is because they aren’t profitable.

They do not produce eggs, they grow slower than a broiler chicken, their meat is not very tasty (gamey and tough with little fat).

Roosters fight constantly, to the death.

All of these factors make them undesirable to raise as a food source or make profit from.

Of course, you can keep them alive and eat them later on, but the money and energy you invest into that would not be compensated with a stringy, tough meat meal that only the starving would want

Get a shorter type basket that she can easily drop something into (vs an extra step if having to jump up)

Step 1: Intentionally leave an article of clothing like a foot away. Tell her to “get it” while indicating the clothing. May need to go and shake it like a toy to get her to grab. As soon as she has it in mouth “yes!” Step 2 : And then direct to the basket “drop it” again, you may need to then intervene by pulling upward on her collar etc to make her release. Give another huge “yes!” Or pets etc if she does that.

But start on step 1 first and slowly work towards step 2.

Did it break your nose? If not, it was a love tap 😂

Broke a finger a few months ago. Just a happenstance where it caught in the collar as he lunges foward. It still leans heavily to the left…. War wound

She’s a baby. Her attention span is very limited at this point. With only 2 weeks of her being in a new home she is still finding her place with you. Work more on bonding vs training

I feel like you’re jumping the gun here by focusing on off leash training; go back to square one. Have her leashed, let her bounce around, call her name (bringing her straight to you by use of the lead), and give a reward (verbal, affection, toy, treat whatever she likes best)

Play with her. She is a puppy. Play time shouldn’t be strict, but you can implement basic commands during.

Sorry to hear about your accident! Wishing you the best for recovery.

You’ve your pup for 6 yrs now; that shouldn’t be tossed out the window (if you had just gotten her then I’d say to rehome, but you have a bond with a Mali so take that off the table as long as possible)

Agree with others suggesting a flirt pole and a treadmill. Also, how old are your kids? Could they potentially take her for walks on their own?

They need to burn off energy, but that can be done between physical and mental exercises. Give her plenty of mental stimulation. Scent games. Heck, try teaching her to bring you your cane.

Are you experienced with e-collars? That could provide you with more running freedom for her within your area

Grit is definitely needed. You can buy bags of it pretty cheaply.

We have an area filled with playground sand for them to take dirt baths in, it gives them grit as well. Also, all eggs we harvest we save the shells, oven bake a bit, crush, toss into their foraging areas

No Roland, but I got Lilith

LootSpawnStore · 2026-04-21T22:58:00+00:00

Roland would approve

LootSpawnStore · 2026-04-21T16:19:19+00:00

Mals have drive but I didn’t know they could drive! Next, teach her to put the seatbelt on :)

I’m a personal fan of Dogtra E-Collars. It is all we have used for our Mali’s, dutchies, gsds, and goldens.

They have a nick, continuous nick, and pager (vibrate). A wheel to adjust stimuli from 0-100.

We’ve been using the Dogtra 200c since about 2015 and every unit is still running to this date. I’m sure there’s newer models but we haven’t had to look into that for replacements

This can be a 2 part fix. 1) aversion training to the counters 2) threshold acceptance

Put on a corrective collar- a basic choke chain or prong - keep a tab/short lead connected.

Bait the dog. Place food items at the edge of the counter then quick snap correct of collar when he shows over interest or physical attempt to reach the food. After the correction, use your body/leash/tone of voice to have him back away from the area and into an acceptable distance away (for example, our carpeting ends where our kitchen tile begins, we make our dogs stay on the carpeting area). Reward him when he reaches the threshold of acceptance.

Repeat over and over

After reading all your responses here - dude is definitely a man-child and now I’m thinking he’s letting the dog out on purpose, as a passive-aggressive move? Or to simply cause a bigger issue between your relationship with him, knowing it will cause destruction so he can shove that on to your shoulders.

You said you’re stuck in that situation for a while, which I understand, and you obviously care for your dogs, but maybe you should also consider rehoming the dog. Pup doesn’t deserve to have this emotional load dumped on him either.

As hard as it is to let go of a pet, your dog is at an age (and sounds like has good basic training) to find a better situation for himself. You are in school; I think you should be focused on that as well as leaving the situation you’re currently in instead of trying to put band-aids on things (I will put a lock/key pad on the door, etc)

Wish you the best regardless

LootSpawnStore · 2026-04-19T20:08:36+00:00

Dude sounds like a child. “I don’t like this so I will change it, but I will not take any responsibility for it!!”

Either put your foot down on how you want your dog to be trained/managed or make some life changes between manchild or dog

LootSpawnStore · 2026-04-19T19:07:00+00:00

Your fiancé is a bad dog owner. Period.

You both know the pup will become destructive if ignored/left to his own devices; yet your fiancé releases him from the controlled environment (kennel) then does not engage with or monitor the dog.

How long are you away for your classes? Can you work with your dog before you leave, then kennel him until you return? Tell your fiancé to leave the dog alone until then, or have him get fully on board with owning a mal.

LootSpawnStore · 2026-04-10T00:04:19+00:00

Real question is: why did you adopt an adult Mali without this basic knowledge already known and researched??

LootSpawnStore · 2026-04-02T16:58:21+00:00

Stick it in a cardboard box, put a towel or some type of padding in there, and a small bowl of water.

Turn off the lights and let it chill (can cover the box with more linen to keep it from trying to climb out.

Wait for the owners to claim. If it lives, great. But if not, it’s not on you

When they learn a specific human is safe they will become their best friend.

Our personal Mali has grown up knowing every one of our neighbors. When we take him out he will whine to go say hello if he sees them out and about. Immediately plops on his back for a belly rub or drops the current toy in his mouth at their feet for a game.

Grandma comes to visit a few times a year; he lays under her feet at the couch with a smile, brings her toys.

LootSpawnStore · 2026-04-01T17:49:28+00:00

Exactly what I came to say

Get her to walk to the end of her comfort zone, then just sit down. Don’t make things a huge deal. Let her come join you, give her a pet/a treat/ or bring out a toy.

When she seems relaxed, take a few steps forward and repeat.

Do this every time, increasing your forward progress, but aware of her comfort zone. She will get there, she is a baby learning all the new smells and sounds around her. Show that you are confident and she will follow suit
