Training & BehaviorI need to know the general guidelines on how much exercise and stimulation a large dog requires. I work at a place where a large dog (Great Pyrenees) is kept in an 8 x 10 structure 24 hours a day. It is too large to run in the pen. He is 4 yrs of ag
Joseph is like digging and chewing up his dog house because he's bored and under stimulated. That is way too small, and frankly it's cruel to leave a dog this big in such a small pen 24 hours a day. For a dog 91-110 pounds, an exercise pen is recommended to be 48"H x 8 x 24"W. Given the he is larger than that, it needs to be bigger. Point this out to the owner, and the fact this is cruel.
