Exercise

Ensure your Briard gets at least one to two hours of daily exercise. One way to guarantee adequate physical and mental stimulation is by breaking it down into several sessions.

Daily leash walks are recommended for your Briard, ideally with a moderate level of intensity and duration. Engaging in a 30 to 60-minute brisk stroll can adequately satisfy their physical activity requirements.

Briards are recognized for their impressive stamina, which makes them ideal companions for jogging or running. Over time, increase their endurance and the amount of ground they cover gradually.

It is important to exercise caution with regards to the joints of your dog, particularly if they are either young or elderly, as engaging in activities that involve a lot of impact may result in undue pressure being placed on their developing or ageing bodies.

Encourage your Briard to participate in lively play sessions to keep them energised and entertained. Some activities that fall under this category could involve playing fetch, tossing around a frisbee, or engaging in social play with other dogs within the confines of a safe and enclosed area. Engaging in these activities enables them to release their energy and incite mental stimulation.

Aside from exercising the body, Briards also thrive with mental stimulation. Offer your furry friend puzzle toys, engage them in obedience training, or involve them in canine activities such as agility or obedience competitions. Engaging in cognitive activities can keep their sharp minds occupied and ward off monotony.
