(Solved!)"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

Belgian Malinois are dogs that love spending time with their human and getting social interaction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are very loyal and can form a great bond and attachment to their owner and family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also need to have mental stimulation in plenty, as they are intelligent, smart dogs, and will get easily bored if they do not get enough things to do and occupy their time with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Belgian Malinois are physically active dogs, bred for herding and used for working purposes, so they have high energy levels and a high work drive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They do not like to be left alone for long periods of time without exercise and activity. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result of this, owners may wonder how their Belgian Malinois will manage on their own for a longer period of time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They may worry that their dog will get up to something. So, the question is, can Belgian Malinois be left alone?<\/p>\n\n\n

Can Belgian Malinois Be Left Alone?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Yes, Belgian Malinois can be left alone, but not for too long.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

If your house is not big enough for your Belgian Malinois to have space and leisure in, the best thing is to leave him in the backyard or a pen, as long as it’s a nice day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will allow him to get some freedom, more space to walk or run, and they will be able to go toilet whenever they need to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A kennel in the backyard<\/a> is also a good thing to have, as it will give the dog a refuge and shelter to go to for comfort and rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Long Can A Belgian Malinois Be Left Alone?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A Belgian Malinois should preferably be left alone for no more than two to four hours at a time.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Most Belgian Malinois will get easily bored if left alone for more than that time and this might compel them to chew on furniture or shoes, dig in the backyard, or begin to destroy things around the house. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is due to the fact that a Belgian Malinois is full of energy and therefore wants to be physically active and get enough exercise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being left alone for a long time will lead to boredom and the need to do something to unleash their energy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So they will begin to do things that will entertain them and discharge their vigor. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, a well trained and good behaved Belgian Malinois could be left for more than two to four hours, but if this is done often, it will impact them negatively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These dogs need a lot of social interaction with humans<\/a> and a lot of mental stimulation,. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They could even get separation anxiety as a result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Belgian Malinois Separation Anxiety<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

An outcome that could result in a Belgian Malinois being left for many hours alone each day is separation anxiety. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Separation anxiety could occur in some dogs that cannot handle their owner being away from them, and this could lead to them displaying behavior such as aggression and other negative symptoms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Separation anxiety could lead, just as with boredom, to a number of problematic behaviors. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This includes symptoms such as:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
