Why the titanium teeth? The article doesn't mention them.
Malinois dogs are amazingly athletic. Have a look on youtube for clips of their jumping/climbing abilities.
The Daily Telegraph (UK) on Saturday gave the picture of the titanium teeth but the article was restricted so I gave a link to The Standard instead which, as you say, doesn't mention them. Replacement teeth and titanium crowns on "bite dogs" used by the Police (US) and Services has been practice for at least 10 years. I initially wondered if the Telegraph was implying an irony in the PDSA giving a medal to a dog whose teeth had been forcibly upgraded. But since the vigorous denial of the popular meme that the Navy Seals hunting Osama Bin Laden had used dogs with titanium teeth, I guess Hurricane got his new teeth because his old ones were damaged biting all them hard Crims.

Malinois look very athletic in full flight.
