First time here on the board!!
We have 2 Belgian Malinois, (M&F) obviously....ages 4.5 & 6. They have been together since puppys. Wonderful wonderful dogs, just love them and their personalities and intelligence..could carry on for hours here..
We have been trying to allow them to mate...well short of showing them adult videos they just seem to not be able to accomplish the task.
How on earth do you get 2 dogs to do the wild than?!? I have never seen 2 dogs who could not..
She just finished her heat cycle with no success, he exteriorly complete his self but not with her.
She is a bit finicky as she has a kat personality.
We are just floored that they cannot finish the deed.
How can we help them, show them or whatever to get them to do the deed??
Ideas, suggestions anything...would be helpful to us ..and them!!
You hold her still, don't touch him. Move her so that he enters. Once entered and thrusting, he will lock. THen you need to control things so that no one gets hurt.
I know this was not part of your initial question, but is it safe to assume these two have had hip/elbow xrays? And that genetically they are a good pair to breed other than their personalities and temperments?
This post raises some caution flags for me. I have to ask if you've done your homework before breeding your dogs.
Do you understand Malinois function and structure? Temperament and bloodlines? Are you breeding your dogs because you're sure that mixing the genes of these 2 dogs will improve the breed?
Have you had ALL health clearances done on sire and dam? Have you titled the dogs? Is there a demand for the puppies produced? Do you have the financial resources to support all of your dogs, including a litter of puppies in case it all goes horribly wrong?
These are all things I'd consider and weigh before ever thinking about breeding dogs.
I also think if you were thinking about these things you'd have a mentor in the breed to walk you through mating and whelping.

Rather than jump all over the usual of "are you qualified to breed dogs?" questions I'll just go with the initial question. I suspect a few things are going on
A) Your stud dog is inexperienced and probably has an issue of getting down to business or having proper technique. It takes studs several "successful" breedings at minimum to be a reliable stud dog.
B) Your bitch is inexperienced and may not be helping matters.
C) Owners are probably a bit inexperienced on breeding practice.
Honestly with two dogs that just can't seem to get by their inexperience I'd likely do one of two things. Fresh AI which can be done at home if you have some minor training with a vet or experienced breeder or find a more experienced stud dog. A mentor who can help you troubleshoot would also be worth it's weight in gold.
A mentor would be great to help with a lot of this stuff but trust me, I understand if reality didn't work out that way.

You need to find an experienced breeder to help you and you probably need to have a vet do a repro exam on both to eliminate any medical issues.
If you are allowing your dogs to breed naturally do not let them do it unsupervised. I have one girl that if the timing is 5 minutes off she is not happy about it at all and will attempt to take it out on Mr. Happy.
