For most dogs, running and playing is necessary component to their happiness. As a fellow pet lover I know that when owning a dog you want to do whatever you reasonably can to make your dog happy. Many Gainesville apartments are pet-friendly, but make sure you check with your landlord first on breed and weight restrictions. Once you're sure your beloved pet is welcome to live alongside you in your Gainesville apartment, there's a few simple steps that should be taken to ensure your dog's happiness in your new home.
Exercise is probably the key component to making your dog happy when living in a Gainesville apartment. I know life can be hectic and stressful. Some days you probably feel like you're running a mile a minute but don't forget in the midst of everything to set aside some time to take your dog on walks, runs, or dog park visits. The more time your dog spends being active while living in your Gainesville apartment the happier they'll be. Leash free dog parks are ideal. They allow your dog plenty of freedom and space to play to get all their energy out. Regular walks and/or runs are also a necessity. Walking your dog on a regular schedule (say every night before bed for a few minutes) can help maintain some consistency with them and help ensure their happiness.
Another important factor is keeping your dog satiated when you're not at home. Whether you're at work, or school, our beloved pups tend to get antsy and bored when they're left at home. Coming home to chewed up furniture or clothes can often be a downside of a bored and unhappy dog; so making sure they're occupied while you're out and about is a must. You can keep a bin full of toys that are accessible to them at all times. If you're dog has plenty of things to chew on and occupy themselves with they're going to end up a lot happier in your Gainesville apartment.
Some Gainesville apartments are spacious, and some are nice cozy. Whichever is the case in your situation creating plenty of space for your pooch to explore is of the utmost importance. Try keeping any door open that you can when you're gone. Your pooch can stay a lot more active and occupied if they have more space in your Gainesville apartment to roam around in.
Keeping your dog happy in Gainesville apartments will definitely require some effort. But as a fellow pet lover I know that when it comes down to it, it's definitely worth it to keep your beloved pooch happy. Luckily, the tips and tricks to keep them happy don't cost a lot of money. Just a little time, effort, and love, and your dog will be happy as ever in your Gainesville apartment.
