There's a notion among dog owners that certain breeds are better suited to apartment life than other breeds: small or lower-energy breeds might be happier in small city apartments because they need less space or exercise. But let's think twice before agreeing with this kind of generalization. Why would larger or more energetic breeds be less fit for apartment life?

Are Smaller or Quieter Dogs Happier in Apartments Than Large, Exuberant Animals?

Dog behavior expert Cesar Millan (famous for his tv show, "The Dog Whisperer") says that every dog, no matter its size or breed, needs at least one 45-minute walk – ideally, first thing in the morning. That applies equally to a hyper, year-old lab and a five-year-old chihuahua – and it's a lot more exercise than most apartment-dwelling dog owners give their miniature pooches.

If your dog is young or very active, a second or third walk later in the day is also a good idea.
