How much exercise do Border Collies need?

Most Border Collies need about 90 minutes to two hours of higher-energy activity per day, depending on their individual needs, their age, and how they spend their day. This can include vigorous walks, playing and running in the park, going on a jog, practicing agility, herding, or swimming. It’s best to break up this activity into at least two sessions. But being smart dogs, they also need plenty of mental stimulation and don’t do well with just exercise alone.
