Time Spent

Even though Basset Hounds aren't the most active canine breeds, they still need plenty of exercise and playing. Whether it's brisk walks, vigorous play, or just exploring the garden, try to get 30–60 minutes of moderate exercise into your day. To keep their brains active and stimulated, try using puzzle toys or fragrance games, which are low-impact.

Basset Hounds are great companions because of their amiable personality. Set aside time to show them physical attention by cuddling, patting, and talking to them. Positive physical contact strengthens the link between you and your dog, benefiting both of you emotionally and physically.

Motivate their natural curiosity by including mental challenges in their everyday activities. To keep from becoming bored and to promote problem-solving abilities, short training sessions centred on commands, tricks, or scent-related activities are ideal. Sitting together or letting them rest nearby might be an easy way to spend quality time with Basset Hounds since they are active but also like calm.

Grooming should be an integral part of your Basset Hound's maintenance program. Make sure to give them time to do things like brush their hair, clean their ears, and trim their nails. Grooming becomes more than just a means to an end—it's also a chance to bond with your cat.

You should mix your Basset Hound's active nature with periods of quiet companionship since this breed is both energetic and sensitive to the need for peace and quiet. For your Basset Hound's health and happiness, it's important to establish a balanced schedule that includes mental and physical challenges, as well as plenty of loving touches and grooming.
