I had an apartment and then a new neighbor moved in next door. She put her dog in a cage that was in her bedroom closet. That bedroom closet was on the wall opposite my headboard side of my bed. Of course, when she went to work that dog would bark all day. I attempted to complain to the apartment manager but guess what happened? Nothing happened because that apartment manager also had a dog that she put in a cage and kept in her apartment while she was away.
In a different apartment I was on the ground floor. There was a lady above me who would let her dog do its business on her concrete patio which was above mine and then she would sweep it over the edge until my patio below looked like a minefield of dog turds.
Dogs need yards and should not be locked up in a cage or in an apartment nor should their barking invade the space of others.
If you own a dog, live in an apartment, and the noise from that dog’s barking is inside the apartments of your neighbors then you are a shitty inconsiderate person!
Please tell me about the necessity of you locking your dog in a cage in your own home.
Dogs are burrowing animals and they feel the most relaxed when in a small space. That’s normally where they eat and sleep.
That doesn’t mean it’s a necessity but it also doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with crate training. And in fact, it’s the most sure fire way to potty train them, because it makes them feel like they’re in their home.
Well locking them in there would what’s wrong with it. If you’re not doing that then there’s no issue
