Raising a puppy is challenging.  Raising a puppy in an apartment adds a few additional challenges. 

It’s becoming more and more common to raise a puppy in an apartment.  This is great because it means more places are allowing dogs but before you run and get your new puppy there are some things to consider and to be ready for. 

When we think about raising a puppy in an apartment we usually think about the size restriction the apartment building has (which I don’t agree with and I talk about why).  There are also a few other things.

When living in an apartment (or a condominium or even a townhouse) you have close neighbors that can make crate training harder.  Sometimes you can’t get outside quickly which can be a struggle during potty training. And most of the time the room you have to exercise your dog is limited.

I have you covered with some tips on how to handle these extra challenges.  

Including:

  • Getting the right age and breed
  • Potty training tips 
  • Crate training tips
  • When they destroy something that's not yours
