The dog should be desired by all household members, and if at least one of them is against having a dog, then it would be better not to do this, since keeping a dog in an apartment is accompanied by certain difficulties.
Owners of large dogs, hounds and hunting breeds will be the hardest. It is better not to have such dogs in a small apartment, as this guarantees you many inconveniences, such as a feeling of lack of space and movement. Suitable companions for a city dweller are dogs of medium and small breeds with short hair.
If you have a dog, then the first thing to do is choose a place for a bed, best of all, away from batteries and drafts and not on the aisle. It is desirable that the dog from his bed could fully see what is happening in the apartment. The best option would be a place located somewhere in the corner of the hallway. A small mattress with a removable pillowcase, which you can wash if necessary, is suitable as a bed.
Also, the dog should find a place where he could eat. This should be a rather secluded place, for example, the same corner in the hallway or kitchen, because if the dog is not comfortable with eating, he can take food with him and go to another room, on a bed or sofa, thereby staining something. For feeding, it is advisable to buy metal utensils, because plastic containers can quickly become dirty and break. For large dogs of large breeds, it is better to use bowls with a stand. Also, next to the bowl of food should be a bowl of fresh, clean water.
The dog will need to be walked at least 3 times a day. One walk should last at least 30 minutes. In addition, you will have to come to terms with another problem: frequent cleaning of carpets from wool.
If you have a puppy, then you should know that their teeth are teething, and therefore they like to gnaw on shoes, furniture and tearing wallpaper. This may not happen, but it is better to be ready for it. But these troubles and little things will soon be generously compensated by the dog's boundless love for you and will not be able to overshadow all the joy of communicating with her.
