Because Boerboels are to this day active working dogs, they get to their full glory when they are presented with mental and physical challenges.
Obedience training, rally, weight pull, agility, lurecoursing, herding, protection and therapy dog activities are examples of activities where Boerboel has seen to success. As with any other breed, there are differences between individuals with Boerboels also. Some Boerboels are more suited for some activities than others. Boerboels are intelligent, sensitive and active dogs, so they need both physical and mental activation in order to stay happy and in good condition.
We have trained weightpulling (and other pulling sports like sledding) with our dogs since 2010. Among other activities such as lure coursing, "beast hunting" and canicross we also use springpole and flirtpole to wear out our dogs and keep them in good shape.
