i have lived in apartments my whole life and never have been able to have a dog. my and my mom are thinking about getting a dog anyways. so we dont want the managers to find so we want a small dog that doesnt bark a lot. i was looking at a toy poodle or a yorkie. would these dogs work? also what other dogs would work?
p.s my mom wont let me get a cat. and even though i live in an apartment, i will still care for the dog even if it means i have to drive it to the park in order to walk it
p.s again our managment is lazy. our upstairs neighbors have like 2 or 3 cats and we didnt mind at first until they poured cat pee onto you patio then we complaining to the managers. they didnt do squat so we are not afraid to get a dog and besides we are off the lease so if they do want to kick the dog out we can just move
sorry when i said you patio i mean our patio

Poodles are intelligent but, like yorkies and other small dogs they can be mouthy. It all depends on the size of your apartment and how much time you have to devote to training. Yorkies due tend to be a very expensive breed to purchase though. Plus you need to decide if you want a shedding dog, or non-shedding hair dogs that need to be frequently groomed. Pekingese are great dogs, and usually bark at strangers and other dogs, Shih Tzu are great too, they are very playful and more quiet. I've known poodles to bark for hours and they are very stubborn. Italian Greyhounds are also a rather quiet breed and love to be with their owner. No matter what small breed dog you get remember the importants of crate training puppies get into everything.

Yorkie puppy afraid of other dogs?

HI there! I have this awesome bold yorkie who is very playful around humans. But that's about the only thing he lives up to in his fine breed. Yorkies are supposed to be hunters, but if he saw a rat, he would probably freak out. He is virtually afraid of his own shadow. We try to introduce him to dogs of all sizes. He was even afraid of a dog smaller than him, still a yorkie. I suggested to my parents we take him to a training class to socialize him, but my paaren't arent up to that cuz moneys tight because of gas and everything, and im only thirteen and there is nowhere in walking range with a training class. I am not joking i think one of the reasons that he is so afraid of everything is because he was fixed...is this possible? Also he had previous owners and im afraid they spoiled him to the point where he was not ever taken out or anything. Also he barely walks anywhere. I take him outside but he only walks down to the backyard, which is good for me right now because i broke my foot and my sister is way lazy, but he will never walk even around the block. I walked him around it twice and thought that he would get used to the idea but he iisn'tcatching on. And i know this is even more to ask but do you have any tips on potty training?
Thanks a great deal in advanced :)
Answer
Sounds like he never had any socialization. You just need to let him see lots of other dogs and have good things happen when he sees them.
To do this, I would suggest you or someone start walking him. When you see another dog it is okay to stay pretty far away (far away enough that your dog is calm) and just give your dog some treats. Point to the other dog and say some happy things like 'That is a nice dog!'. If the other person tries to let your dog "meet" their dog then step away with your dog and ask them to please keep their dog away. Say you are training or that your dog doesn't like other dogs. Don't force your dog to get sniffed by other dogs- this will only make it worse.
Start by working at a far distance from other dogs and after months pass work up to getting closer. When you decide he is ready to start sniffing other dogs make sure it is a calm, friendly dog!
I doubt that it is because he is fixed. Far more likely that it is because he was never taken to classes, socialized, never had good experiences with other dogs.
If he doesn't want to walk just do very, very short and very, very fun walks. Walk half way down your block or just right in front of your house and give him lots of treats. Take a toy or throw a ball for him to chase short distances. After you have walked for like 5 minutes just take him back inside and ignore him/don't play with him (right away, it is fine to play with him later). This way he will start thinking that walks are fun time and going back home is boring time.
Potty training: Crate when you can't watch him. Keep him on a leash that is tied to you the rest of the time and watch him all the time. If he starts going just calmly say "outside." and pick him up or lead him outside. Always give rewards and praise for pottying outside. My dog is 1.5 years old and I still praise him EVERY SINGLE TIME he potties outside!
