Dibu Martínez showed how he trains his dog
Emiliano Martinez is undoubtedly one of the most outstanding Argentine players in the World Cup which was disputed in Qatar.
But he caught everyone’s attention again earlier this year when he bought a malinois belgian shepherd to, supposedly, protect his home in Birmingham UK, where he lives with his wife and two young children.
As its name suggests, the Belgian Shepherd comes from Belgium and is the only one of the four Belgian Shepherds to have short hair. This dog acquired by Martínez was also specially trained to offensiveas if it were a security force dog and not a family dog.
Likewise, he was purchased and incorporated into the home at a very outside the dog’s sensitive period, which ends after four months, unable to socialize adequately with the final family environment.
One could say that this breed is the one currently used in the security forces almost everywhere in the world for its great functional and operational advantages.
The Mar del Plata player proudly showed off the coaching which applies to the animal to act against any possible threat. This circumstance, beyond the high anecdotal cost paid for the specimen, seems incredible that in our century and in the “first world” a family is advised to acquire this type of dog with this type of training.
We barely talk about affection or companionship when an animal is taken only as if it were a weapon to be triggered under certain circumstances.

This concept has its serious risks since the animal is encouraged to perform a task exclusively reserved for the security forces and their guide dog couples who interact several hours a day with a discipline and a bond impossible to transport operationally as a family.
Without a doubt, we are in the presence of a very intelligent but very demanding dog far more demanding than what the average normal family relationship with their dog can provide.
On the other hand, the type of training provided may be contradictory for having awakened a controlled aggression, which can lead to serious risk for his own family.

They are very athletic and agile with a sharpness hunting for prey which makes them excellent animals to carry out any type of activity. They are ductile and willful, but they need a total human disposition that constantly satisfies their demands.
This involves many outings and entertainment, nail coherent education and an early socialization to adapt as a family dog, something that this animal did not have with the Dibu environment.
Although those who have a Belgian Malinois at home do not have to worry about thieves, not the best choice as a family dog and for the record, if in Birmingham we understand that this type of dog is necessary to guarantee security, it seems that all is not as well in this region as is usually said.

This type of dog can weigh up to 30 kilos. Moreover, it is the breed that is normally used by SEALS in the United States or Special Air Service in Great Britain to carry out the various land surveillance and patrol tasks.
El Dibu showed through his social networks the violent training of his new companion, which was acquired through Elite Protection Dogs, a company specialized in the matter which has already helped other sports leaders like the French figure Hugo in the same research. footballer Ashley Cole and British boxer Tyson Fury.
The Aston Villa player taught the training aimed at helping him take care of his family in the face of any possible danger or threat. Media in England reported that Martínez paid £20,000 to buy him and to resolve the long process to ensure his dog was used to both keep him, his wife Mandinha and their children Santi and Ava, as well as to convey security.Doors inward.
