I’m Arlo, and I feel most like myself when I’m outside with the wind in my fur and something interesting to sniff. The world is full of smells, and I take my job of investigating them very seriously. If you’re willing to pet me, talk to me, or tell me I’m a good dog, I’m right there soaking it up. I’ll lean into you, look up at you with bright, eager eyes, and wag my tail like it’s my full-time job. Walks are my favorite adventure. The moment I see the leash, I’m alert and ready. Indoors can make me a little unsure. I much prefer the open air where I can see what’s around me and feel free to move. Outside is where I relax, where I can stretch out, patrol my space, and settle in comfortably.
I’m smart, too. I know how to sit politely, and I can shake your hand like a true professional; especially if you’ve got high-value treats. Bring out the really good snacks, and you’ll see just how focused and eager I can be. I love having a job to do and a reason to show off my skills.
Give me sunshine, space to sniff, kind words, and a tasty reward, and I’ll be the happiest Malinois you’ve ever met.
