When you live in an apartment with a dog, you will need to make sure that they get stimulated both mentally and physically. It is not enough to just have a dog and then take them out on the weekends. They will get bored and find ways to amuse themselves, and often this will get you in a lot of trouble with the landlord and your neighbors. Dogs need this exercise and movement to be healthy and to be happy. Some breeds will need less stimulation than others, but you still need to provide them with some.

 

It is possible to accommodate both high energy and low energy breeds in your home, but most would agree that a low energy breed is often better suited for an apartment. These breeds won’t require extensive workout sessions. A daily walk and a few games inside will be enough to help them channel all that energy, compared to having to take them on three to four walks a day.

 

There are a few different types of dogs that you can choose that fit into this such as the:

 

# Maltese

# Terrier

# Pug

# Shih Tzu

# French Bulldog

# Pekingese

# Chihuahua

 

Keep in mind that while these dogs may do better in an apartment compared to some of the other breeds due to their size and their energy levels, some of them can bark quite a bit. You will need to take the time to properly train them to avoid this kind of problem when you move in.

 

Before you get a dog, make sure you talk to a breeder or someone more familiar with the dog type you would like and learn more about their exercise needs before you bring them home. This will give you more information on whether the dog breed is going to work well for the size of apartment you have and the time available to keep them busy. Some breeds may be too much for you to handle when you live in an apartment.
