Some dog owners naively believe that if they get a small pet, then there is no need to take it outside.
They are sacred time in that a Chihuahua or Yorkie is enough to run on the balcony, while their big brothers walk on a leash next to the owner.
In fact, this is not true, because a walk for a dog is not only an opportunity to relieve itself, but also a chance to get the physical and mental exercise that is so necessary for them.
If the dog spends 24 hours in the apartment, it will start to get bored, and as a result, you, as its owner, will have to deal with the unwanted behavior of your pet.
It can manifest itself in loud barking, chewing shoes, damaging furniture, etc.
Therefore, always keep in mind that even miniature dogs need a daily walk of 20-30 minutes.
The specific amount of time an animal should spend outdoors depends on its health and activity level.
By the way, even if you have a private house and there is enough space in the yard for the dog to walk there, it is recommended to sometimes take it outside the site. This will give it the opportunity to study the world around it, its sounds and smells, as well as meet and communicate with other dogs.
