Amazing dog in the wrong home

I got a Malinois because I thought they were like German Shepherds. They are not. My boy was destructive, anxious, and unmanageable until I hired a specialist trainer and completely restructured my life around his needs. He is now a working sport dog and thriving, but the first year was genuinely difficult. If you are thinking about this breed, research intensively and be honest about your activity level and experience.
