Papillon
Although the Papillon can be considered the best breed for apartments, it is not without its challenges. While they are known for their dainty looks and silky coats, Papillons can also develop separation anxiety when left unsupervised. This can be solved by bringing your Papillon with you to work. Papillons are very adaptable and will live in apartments. They only need 40 minutes of exercise per day.
Great Dane
The size and bulk of Great Danes make them ideal apartment dogs, but you have to take certain considerations into account before bringing one home. Many apartments won't allow giant dogs. Also, great Danes will clog small apartments due to their large size and ability to take up space in hallways. Due to their large tails, great Danes can knock over furniture and other household items. To avoid any damage to flooring or carpeting from their tails, they require housetraining.
Labradoodle
The Labradoodle, a crossbreed Labradoodle, is very popular for apartment living. The Labradoodle is friendly, patient and very trainable. This breed is also excellent with children and can be trained to be a service dog for those with allergies. Labradoodles shouldn't be left unattended in apartments. They should be taught to walk on a leash. They must be trained to use the toilet in order for them to be allowed into a home with one owner.
Basset Hound
Basset Hounds may be the right pet for you if you live in an apartment. These medium-sized dogs can stay inside all day and are easy to exercise. A simple walk around the block should be enough to keep them happy. If you have an active lifestyle, you can take them hiking. Bassets may not be the fastest of dogs, but they are strong and healthy.
Pekingese
Many people don't have the time or energy to exercise large, energetic breeds of dogs. Many dog breeds are capable of requiring less exercise. Pekingese and similar toy breeds don't require a lot of exercise but require walking for 20 to 30 minutes or trips to the dog park every day. Smaller dogs, such as the Pekingese and Tibetan terrier, don't require much exercise.
Toy Poodle
Toy Poodles make great pets for apartments. But they can be very smelly. For these reasons, you should spend some time training your puppy to stay in the house when you're not around. It is important to provide your dog with lots of confidence when it hears a ringing phone or other loud sounds. You should also remember that not every apartment is suitable for a big dog. Therefore, a Toy Poodle may be the right dog for apartments.
