First of all I wanted to say well done for wanting to do the right thing here . I think that checking local shelters and putting more feelers out there to see if there is a responsible owner looking for this dog is a necessary step to take . That having been said if your search turns up nothing then I ' m glad that your boyfriend is happy to work with the dog and you ' re agreed that you probably went too far too fast . We tend to be a very tentative bunch when it comes to Malinois in regular homes . However , you seem as though you love this dog already , have experience with dogs and already seem to be meeting the needs of a high energy dog . Nobody was born a Mal person and I see no reason why you can ' t become one . You haven ' t irresponsibly gone out and got more dog than you can handle you just ended up in this situation and it seems like you ' re really trying to do the best with it . Other than seeking help from the behaviourist . It would be worth finding owners within your area or a rescue and using them as a helpful resource . You said that your vet used to own one , perhaps they can offer advice . What ' s the schedule like for you and your boyfriend ? How long is your husky left alone for ? How much daily exercise do you give him and what kind ?
