Dogs for an apartment are not only small indoor companions, but a wide variety of animals.
It is simply convenient to keep them indoors, and not in a special enclosure, like, for example, guard or service dogs. Such pets are very affectionate and friendly, get along with people and other animals, and do not show aggression.
Poodle
There can be no two opinions - this is definitely the top breed. Curly, cute, charming and toy-like, it immediately attracts everyone's attention. In addition, poodles are incredibly smart and artistic, they often perform in the circus, demonstrating mobility, acrobatic tricks and understanding of all commands.
Moreover, training is practically not required: the dog understands and remembers everything the first time.
The poodle is a true family friend, sensitive and easily picks up on the mood of its owners, playful, sociable, friendly with dogs and cats, rarely barks. Most importantly, it is a long-liver (some, with proper care, can live up to 20 years).
Pembroke Welsh Corgi (or simply Corgi)
A famous, truly royal breed - cute, short-legged, reddish-colored cats.
The animals are incredibly lively, active, energetic, they never sit still for a second, they love to walk, run, and play.
They are quite unpretentious and do not require special conditions of maintenance. They get along with all household members and pets, calmly endure loneliness, do not get bored if the owners are away somewhere.
Corgis are self-sufficient and independent, which is very convenient, for example, for working dog owners. The only thing is that they are prone to overeating and, therefore, to weight gain, so you will have to control their diet.
Basenji
A very smart dog that adapts to any conditions, quickly gets used to its owners, adapts to an apartment or house, does not get upset and does not demand anything.
Trusts the owner, obeys him, but needs regular walks - the representative of this breed is very active.
He needs to let off steam, so playing with a stick or just running will be ideal entertainment. He is very clean and almost does not need additional washing: he brings all the beauty and cleanliness himself, much like a cat.
Pug
Everyone knows this breed: a cute, toy-like fat cat with funny folds and a sweet face will definitely not leave anyone indifferent.
The dog is very calm and even phlegmatic, he does not need to walk a lot or catch a ball. He is not aggressive, easily accepts other animals, meets new people. But pugs are incredibly stubborn and are quite capable of manipulating too compassionate and inexperienced owners. This cannot be allowed: the pet will have to be taught the idea that he is not the boss here.
Golden Retriever
A large but incredibly kind dog, affectionate, loyal, gentle and cheerful.
She prefers an active lifestyle, but in principle she will adapt to any owner's rhythm. But with large dogs you still need to walk daily, at least half an hour (to release energy).
The pet loves children, can even become a real nanny for a small child (up to 1-12 years old), and for a teenager - an excellent companion, especially in terms of playing together.
They will become friends with other dogs and cats because they do not divide territory and do not try to take a leading position.
Retrievers are true liberals; they do not seek power over their owners and roommates, although they are clearly larger than them.
Training is needed, but not much: only general commands. The dog is smart, so it will quickly remember its name and some words, for example, "no" or "fetch".
Thus, dogs for home and apartment can be very different. However, they are united by a good nature and friendliness.
