Having a Dog in an Apartment – Quick Tips
if you’re living in an apartment with a
dog you know it can be tricky sometimes
I’ve had my dog goose in an apartment
since he was a little puppy so in this
video I would like to share with you
some tips on how to make living in an
apartment with your dog a pleasant
experience for the both of you tip
number one is before you even move into
the apartment make sure that your dog is
up-to-date on all of their vaccinations
and flea and tick medications your dogs
are going to come in contact with all
kinds of other dogs and so it’s
important to make sure your dog is
up-to-date and one of the best tips I
can give you for living in a small space
is to exercise your dog a lot the amount
of exercise your dog needs is entirely
dependent upon your dog’s age
breed and temperament I have a Brittany
Spaniel so he needs a lot of exercise
another thing that can help with boredom
are dog toys make sure you always have
your dog’s favorite toys on hand to keep
them entertained the next tip is to
establish a routine for bathroom breaks
dogs are very habitual by nature and do
best when they have a routine they can
count on and make sure you’re picking up
your dog’s poop a lot of apartments will
charge a fee if they catch you not
picking it up my apartments dog poop fee
is two hundred and fifty dollars so you
best believe on picking up the poop and
it’s just the right thing to do to make
bathroom breaks quicker and easier you
can look into getting a balcony potty a
lot of these incorporate real grass so
your dog can feel comfortable using them
from the start I’ve never personally
used one because I would prefer to have
the space on the balcony but I can see
how they would be really convenient if
you don’t want to be leashing your dog
and walking up and down the stairs every
single time to let them out and basic
obedience training is key when living in
a small space with your dog teaching
your dog how to sit stay and leave it
will make your life a lot easier
trust me and if you have hardwood floors
and live in the top unit getting some
area rugs will help reduce noise that
your dog’s claws are producing and will
also make it a lot more comfortable
as well and if you’re gonna be away from
your dogs for long hours look into some
dog walking services like wags or a
doggy daycare
now not all doggy daycares are made
equally to do a lot of research and read
a lot of reviews to make sure it’s a fun
and safe place for your dog if you have
any other tips on living in an apartment
with a dog make sure to leave them down
