Can you have a big dog in a small apartment/house?

Answer 1

normally no just depends on the manger

Answer 2

Depends on the dog. Some breeds are very calm and can handle the small space. Other breeds are very hyper and need lots of space. There is a book called The Right Dog for You that through a series of questions and dog personality descriptions helps you decide the right breed for you. My parents had a large dog, English Setter an excellent house dog but playful outside. The link below will take you to Amazon.com if you want to check out the book.

Answer 3

I once had an elderly lady for a friend. She had a wonderful little dog. A mix of some sort. She had the dog trained well and it behaved very well. Learn here https://tr.im/dupnI

She kept an uncovered candy dish on her coffee table with candy in it. The dog was forbidden to eat the candy. When she was in the room observing the dog he did not even appear to notice the candy. One day while she was in her dinning room she happened to look in a mirror and could see her dog in the living room. He did not know he was being watched. For several minutes he was sitting in front of the candy bowl staring at the candy. Finally he reached in and took one. He placed it on the table and stared at it, he woofed at it. He stared some more, licked his chops and PUT IT BACK in the bowl and walked away. Did he want the candy, oh yeah. Did he eat it? Nope. They can be trained that well but most, I'll admit, are not trained that well. When I was a young boy, maybe 5 years old. We had a german shepherd. He was very well trained also. My mom could leave food unattended on the table, no problem. She would open the oven door and set a pan roast beef or roast chicken on the door to cool. No problem. He would not touch it, watched or not. But butter? Whole other story. You leave a stick of butter anywhere he could reach and it was gone. He was a large shepherd so there were not many places he could not reach. Really, I think the number of dogs trained to the point they will leave food alone when not being supervised is very small indeed.
.
Now if we are talking obedience training, not food grubbing, that is a different story. Way back when I was first learning obedience training one of the final exercises was to put our dogs in a down/stay and not only leave the room but leave the building for 15 minutes. The only person that stayed was our trainer, not the owners. Most of the dogs in my class did not break their stay, which would be an automatic fail. I'm happy to report my dog was one of the ones that passed.

Oh yeah multiple risk-free practices from a breed that while you're no longer placed off via the size and the preliminary racket like labs will tutor the undesirable adult adult males the place the best stuff is. it ought to artwork yet you apart from would ought to evaluate this -Paper education is out. You the two come homestead throughout the day(loose) hire a dogs walker(extra high priced) or dogs daycare(way high priced) and definite you will ought to take the dogs out before you go away, this is basically common experience. -Its a one mattress room now think of the extra decor of dogs hair and drool. you waiting for that? -under an hour of ability? HA. you're dreaming. In small residing areas without get entry to to a backyard you extra clever determine on a minimum of 40 5 minutes or extra two times an afternoon for workout. -have you ever found no longer in basic terms a dogs friendly house yet additionally one which will settle for a dogs of that length? No? then you fairly the two ought to hold off until you're in a house or initiate finding now. super breed friendly places pass rapid and generally have the two intense month-to-month puppy rents or deposits. some have the two. definitely you would be very troublesome pressed to locate a good breeder prepared to sell to you in you modern-day residing situation.

Answer 5

Depends. If you mean is it allowed to have a big dog then you need to contact landlord/condo association as many have size restrictions if they allow dogs at all. If you mean is it possible to have a big dog then yes absolutely. Actually many large breed dogs are *better* in small spaces than small dogs because they have lower energy needs. Of course (as with all dogs in all situations) it is up to the responsible pet owner to make sure that the dog's energy needs are met.

Answer 6

It's NOT fair to a big dog. A big dog needs lots of room to exercise. He and you will both be unhappy. If you're in a small apartment you need a small dog.

Answer 7

Yes, the biggest thing is to UNDERSTAND THE BREED YOU ARE GETTING before getting the breed! You need to research and learn about the breed before hand and match that breed to your lifestyle! Things like if you are a active family, type of family, how much time you are home, (for a small apartment) know what to do if you get a "barker" breed. etc... If you run 3 miles every morning, a greyhound could be perfect! If you like to laze around and watch tv, a Bassett could fit your needs. RESEARCH and learn! I help with these issues all the time!

Answer 8

I found that the big dogs as long as they are getting the exercise they need in the form of walks, and runs with their friends in the dog park. Get along fine in small houses and apartments. A friend of mine has 2 of the b est mannerd dogs in his condo and they are great danes. I have 2 - 75lb dogs and my house is 1500 sq.ft.

Answer 9

Certainly not in an apartment. Dogs need movement, they are loud and, to say the truth, dirty. Cats smell much more pleasant. An optimal pet for an apartment is a cat.In our age of overpopulation, strict measures have to be taken to control birth rate. Under such circumstances, a cat becomes a perfect substitute for a child, grandchild… and even for a partner in life.

Answer 10

It really depends on what your landlord says, you should ask yours......I am allowed to have big dogs in my apartment, and there is no extra fee or anything. But it varies with different managers...
And if you walk it regularly then it should then it will get enough exercise, and it should give you a workout too! But if it is an aggressive dog, I dont think it will work out...

Answer 11

As long as your landlord allows it, sure. Certain breeds do better in small living quarters than others, so you might want to research that before getting an animal. However, you'll still have to make sure your pet gets enough play and exercise or you may end up with a mess on your hands. The link below may help you find an appropriate breed.
