Quick Tip For Having A Dog In An Apartment
If you’re living in an apartment with a dog you know it can be tricky sometimes. I’ve had my dog in an apartment since he was a little puppy. I would like to share with you some tips on how to make living in an apartment with your dog a pleasant experience.
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 dog is 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. 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 dog poop. Fees can reach to 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 daycare’s are made equally. Do a lot of research and read a lot of reviews to make sure it’s a fun and safe place for your dog.
