Bernese Mountain Dogs are a large and active breed, requiring regular exercise. Due to their size, it will be a pity to coop them in an apartment without adequate exercise.
Here are some guidelines for exercising a Bernese Mountain Dog:
Daily walks: at least 30-60 minutes of walking per day, depending on the dog's personality and activity level. This will also provide mental stimulation to prevent boredom.
Playtime: When it is raining, owners can consider indoor games like fetch, frisbee, tug-of war. There are also a plethora of food based "IQ" games that can stimulate them. Teaching tricks such as sit, down, roll over, play dead is also an excellent opportunity for bonding and stimulation. In fact, many dogs get more tired after a short session of trick training compared to the usual walks!
Hiking and outdoor activities: For nature lovers, long walks hiking are the best. Strap them up with doggy backpacks just like how they were traditionally used as working dogs to pull carts in the Swiss Alps.
Mental stimulation: Playtime and mental stimulation go hand in hand. Puzzle games, trick training can easily be learned from many youtube videos. Even a simple kong toy with treats inside will also provide much needed entertainment.
It's important to remember that every dog is different, and exercise needs can vary based on age, health, and lifestyle. Consult with a professional dog trainer to get the best training plan for your dog.
Bernese Mountain Dogs have thick, double layer coat that sheds and requires regular grooming to prevent tangles and excessive deshedding.
Here are some grooming requirements and recommendations for Bernese Mountain Dog:
Brushing: Once a week with a deshedding comb. This will remove the dead undercoat layer and minimise shedding in the house. If not brushed regularly, the dead undercoat can get compacted and tangled which cause skin irritation and overheating. During shedding season which is twice a year, they need to be brushed daily for about 1-2 weeks.
Bathing: Bernese Mountains needs to be bathed every week in Singapore's humid climate. Use a mild dog shampoo (we recommend Silky shampoo) and be sure to rinse thoroughly to avoid any skin irritation. Lastly, remember to blow dry to make sure the skin is completely dry to prevent skin issues.
Trimming: The hair length remain constant so hair cut is not necessary. Good to trim around hygiene area for cleanliness and around paw pads to prevent slipping while walking.
Nail Clipping: The toe nails need to be clipped once every few months. Best to ask a professional groomer to do this to prevent bleeding when the nails are cut too close to the quick (blood vessel).
Teeth Cleaning: Brushing teeth daily is preferred, if not possible, weekly brushing is sufficient. Give raw bones regularly as enrichment which double as natural teeth cleaner.
Ear Cleaning: Their ears may be prone to infection as it is dropping down which can trap heat and moisture especially in Singapore's humid climate. Clean the ears with appropriate solution once a week
