Hi everyone, I am considering adopting a Doberman Pinscher and I want to make sure that I am able to provide them with the appropriate amount of exercise. I work full time but I am dedicated to taking my dog on daily walks and hikes on the weekends. I just want to know how much exercise Dobermans need to be healthy and happy. Any tips or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hello everyone! I am a proud owner of a six-year-old Doberman Pinscher, and I couldn't agree more with the previous responses. Doberman Pinschers are a breed that requires lots of exercise and mental stimulation. What I'd like to add is that Doberman Pinschers are not the ideal dogs for everyone. They are a demanding breed that requires lots of attention and training. If you are not up for the challenge, they will become destructive and even aggressive. But, if you can provide them with proper training, socialization, and plenty of exercise, they can be loving and loyal companions. In my experience, I believe that Doberman Pinschers need at least 2 hours of exercise daily, and mental stimulation is just as essential. So, before adopting a Doberman, make sure you are ready for the commitment it requires - your hard work will result in a happy and healthy dog!
