It's always important to remember that Bouviers are a very active breed! Bouviers can spend an hour or two alone, but much beyond that and they'll resort to destructive behaviours, such as barking, and chewing. Too much time alone also means they aren't getting the exercise they need, which can lead to poor manners, chasing, and leash pulling. When you do leave your Bouvier alone for short stretches of time, it is helpful to set them up in a cozy dog crate with a few favourite toys to keep them occupied. #BouvierTT #VonHausHelden

The Bouvier Des Flandres is a truly intelligent breed that learns quickly and never forgets! 🦮 Training and socializing your Bouvier gets your relationship off on the right foot. Train with fairness, consistency and start as soon as possible. And remember, most dogs react more quickly to praise than to corrections! #BouvierTT #VonHausHelden

Our dogs love rolling around outdoors, and that's why its important to keep their grooming and cleanliness up to par. Bathing, blow drying and brushing your Bouv is important as their long, shaggy hair can easily become dirty and matted. This can cause skin infections, itching and just pure discomfort for your dog. Take to your vet about the right grooming products for your Bouv and keep them clean and tidy! #BouvierTT #VonHausHelden

The Bouvier Des Flandres is one of the most intelligent dog breeds and responds pretty well to being trained.🐕‍🦺 Because these dogs do tend to think independently, using consistency and positive reinforcement training makes way for the best results. Here's a Bouv showing off all the tricks they know! #BouvierTT #VonHausHelden

Did you know that the Bouvier Des Flandres prefers average to cold weather conditions?❄️ Bred in Belgium, where temperatures can get as cold as 0°C, Bouviers can adapt well to cold weather conditions. However, with proper grooming and ample water supply, they also have no problems living in tropical climates like ours! #BouvierTT #VonHausHelden

Teaching your dog to "stay" is important. Its a useful command when you’re taking them in a walk or even when they’re around unfamiliar people or other animals. 🐶 1. Ask your dog to sit (check out our last post for the Sit Command tips) 2. Reward them after they sit for a few seconds 3. Repeat but increase the time between commanding them to sit and giving them the treat 4. After getting your dog accustomed to waiting for their treat after sitting, introduce to command “Stay”, and after making them stay for a while, reward them with a treat. Repeat until they understand the command “Stay”. 5. Introduce a release word. After getting your dog accustomed to sitting and staying, give your release command and toss a treat so your pup must get up to retrieve them. A release command might be a hand signal—such as lifting your hand up—or the words “OK” or “Go.” Try it at home! Send us your videos if you training your dogs to Sit and Stay! #BouvierTT #VonHausHelden

Here's a fun fact about the Bouvier Des Flandres! 🐕‍🦺 The breed has a very strong protective instinct which is why they make a great watchdog as well as a guard dog. They are not an aggressive unless they feel that their family is threatened. However, sometimes their intimidating looks are enough to deter any intruders. Would you consider getting yourself a Bouv? They make a great companion and an even better protector! #bouvierTT #VonHausHelden

Teaching your dog to "roll over" is a cute and fun trick that is fairly easy to accomplish! 🐶 Before you start, your dog should already be able to sit and lie down on command. Start training your dog to roll over by giving it the "down" command. Hold a treat by their nose, and then toward their shoulder. Your dog should turn their head to follow the treat. Then continue to pull the treat around the dog's shoulder so they will have to lie down on their side to follow it. Continue holding the treat close to your dog's nose, and pull it all the way around to the other side, so they have to roll all the way over to follow it. If it completes the full roll, praise the dog and provide a treat! Try this trick and let us know how it goes! #BouvierTT #VonHausHelden

If your dog has bad breath, it could be a sign of canine dental disease. 🐕‍🦺🦷 And, notably, even if your dog has stinky breath you should never give them breath mints that are meant for humans because they often include the sweetener xylitol, which is toxic to animals. The simplest way to prevent bad dog breath is to brush your dog's teeth on a regular basis. Teeth brushing reduces plaque and promotes better oral hygiene, much as it does in humans, and with a little training, most dogs learn to enjoy having their teeth brushed. There's even specially formulated dog toothpaste! #BouvierTT #VonHausHelden

CHOCOLATE IS TOXIC TO DOGS! 🍫 While rarely fatal, chocolate ingestion can result in significant illness. Chocolate is toxic because it contains a chemical called theobromine, as well as caffeine which dogs are unable to metabolize effectively. If your dog eats chocolate, you should monitor them closely and seek veterinary attention if they show any symptoms, or if they are very young, pregnant or have other health concerns. #BouvierTT #VonHausHelden
