Bouviers des Flandres can adapt to apartment living or small living spaces, but they require significant daily exercise and mental stimulation to thrive. Their large size and high energy levels mean they need at least one to two hours of vigorous activity, such as long walks or play sessions. Engaging them in mental challenges, like puzzle toys and training exercises, is essential. Providing consistent exercise and mental stimulation helps prevent boredom and behavioral issues. Regular outings to parks or open spaces can also help them burn off energy and stay content.
