Belgian Shepherd Exercise Routine: A day in the life of a Belgian Sheepdog owner 🐕‍🦺

Want to know what its like owning a Belgian Shepherd and what exercise is involved in owning one on a day to day basis? This video discusses the daily routine that they require exercise wise. From waking up to going to bed, I cover all the things I do to keep my Belgian shepherd happy. And he has not exhibited any destructive behavior at all. So it must be enough? In fact, I think I could probably get by with less exercise, but I really enjoy walking my boy, so I don't mind. One thing I need to do is increase his mental stimulation, which I really need to do more often. Currently maybe just a few 5 minute sessions a week. I hope this helps you all get an insight on what to prepare yourself for if you get a Belgian Sheepdog.

There are 4 varieties of Belgian shepherds, The 4 varieties are the very popular Belgian Malinois, Tervuren, Groenendael and Laekenois. Athletically they are all similar, but vary in coat, temperament and drive, and also between working and show lines.

This channel is solely for the purpose of trying to raise money for my dogs Cryptorchidism (his testicles did not drop) so he needs a procedure to have his testicles removed internally which is quite expensive here. Apparently, they can become cancerous if not removed.

Thank you so much for uploading this! I got my boy at 15 weeks old (he's 10 months now). He's also a cryptorchid too! We're first time owners too so it's lovely to see someone else's routine with their groenendael and feel like we're on the right track. Right now we probably get 1.5 - 2 hours in daily. Our boy lives for the tennis ball at the moment so we try to kill two birds with one stone and incorporate training into games of fetch to help tire him out quicker.

@NinthEuphoric Hey, thanks for your comment! It's good to see another person with this issue. The price of the operation here is astronomical (its like 3x what it cost to adopt him from the breeder), and after watching some vet videos it seems the cancer that they "can" get from this is benign anyway. So I'm on the fence thinking if its even worth doing now. About the same exercise for us too, but sometimes up to 3 hours a day a few times a week. Jack is not interested in balls, except to destroy them! I've been trying to introduce more inside mental games for him, which I'm not very successful with so far. Still a work in progress.
