Doggies In Apartments
Personally I strongly believe that you should not keep a dog in an apartment, although I do note that Frasier's old man keeps his Jack Russell in one. What are your thoughts, not only on the fresh air and exercise aspect but also on their potential barking when left alone all day.

Dogs should not be left alone all day. It's okay, especially with smaller dogs, if someone is around, and they get plenty of exercise. Harder with a larger dog and it's downright irresponsible to leave one alone all the time.

Re: Doggies In Apartments
To be honest this is a tough call for me. I appreciate your point Meow, but given the choice between being locked up in an appartment with food and regular walkies, versus abandoned on the street or locked up in a dog pound, maybe even terminated, I think I know which I would prefer.

Re: Doggies In Apartments
My dog at home was home alone for 8 hours, then spent about 6 running round the farm chasing cows everyday, to be honest I think he enjoyed the rest. It totally depends on the dog and what they are used to. I did at one time when he was very little have a lady who came at lunch time to let him out and he was never keen and she said she always had to wake him up when she arrived, if I was at home during the day I could clearly see I was getting in his way. As I said it depends on the dog. However dogs in apartments I think might be a little inconsiderate to other residents, but otherwise if furry 4 legs is used to it he won't care where he lives he'll just be glad to be loved and cared about

A pal lives a few floors below in the same block, there's a dog on their floor and it's a ****ing loud, yappy rat type thing. |

He's been a little quieter lately, Mr Lanark reckons there is actually no wall left to drill, assume he will be moving soon, to a fresh canvas

I sometimes wander round trying to find the noise. Never confident enough of where it's coming from to knock on the door.

Few months back my sis got a Labrador Retriever puppy. Owing to she and her husband working, the dog (less than a year old) is alone during the day with only my cat for company. |

Re: Doggies In Apartments
I think it depends on the dog at the end of the day, it can be inconvenient for other tennants if is yappy like Scamp said. But what is the real difference between a dog lying on the floor in an apartment over lying on the floor in a villa, it's the walks that are important and companionship.

On a separate note, what's with the baby talk from posters? Doggies, walkies? |
