Underwood K9

Stronghold K-9 is certainly a hidden gem when it comes to Belgian Malinois training. The attention to detail Joe has is second to none. He is not happy until he feels comfortable both you and your dog are well trained. It is well known owning a working Belgian may be overwhelming, but Stonghold takes away all confusion and simplifies it so you can continue his excellent work at home, and will work with you, the owner, to fix your mistakes along the way.

I have a once in a lifetime dog and have Joe and his breeding program to thank. In addition to the quality pups he’s producing, Joe has worked with me on several occasions, helping me learn how to be a good dog Dad and giving my Mal the training and structure he needs to be a happy and well-balanced working dog. My Amos is 3 now and Joe has proven to be a reliable and invaluable resource since the day we brought him home. Joe understands this breed and what they require and he’ll train you as the owner as much as he trains your dog. I won’t consider another breeder for my next pup, it will absolutely be a Stronghold K9 Malinois.

Purchased a Mal from Stronghold 5 years ago, one of the best decisions I have made in dog purchases. Joe is exceptional, he is the real deal when it comes to PROFESSIONAL dog trainers. His experience with Mal's is impressive and he truly understands the breed. Joe is one of the few people I would ever consider leaving my dog with for boarding/training. If you are experiencing behavior problems with your Mal, I would highly recommend Strongholds abilities to resolve.
