[NAGDU] Two dogs in a one-bedroom apartment

[Cindy Ray]

I think most dogs don't mind sharing toys. Sometimes one gets possessive,
but usually they work it out. I think the advice here has been good. I think
it seems much bigger to you now than it will after you get your dog, and the
one will have settled in well.

Subject: [NAGDU] Two dogs in a one-bedroom apartment

Hi everyone,

My husband recently received his first dog guide, and I'm planning to get
mine in the next 1-2 years (hopefully during the summer of 2018, if
possible). We live in a larger 1-bedroom apartment. I believe it's just over
900 square feet.

Our current plan is to rearrange our bedroom to make room for a second dog
crate, and we plan on taking turns with play time in the main living space,
as this works with our general schedule and prevents over-crowding. Our
other current plan is to share as many supplies as possible. For instance,
if the two dogs eat the same food, we'll only have one Vittles Vault. We'll
also share the larger supply of pick-up bags, ETC. Of course, we won't share
the dogs' gear, toys, ETC, so they'll each have some items of their own.

 

I'm writing to get any tips regarding dog supply/toy storage (these tips
would help with only one dog too), or overall tips regarding having two dogs
in an apartment. We are not in a position to get a 2-bedroom apartment, so
this is not a viable option for us. If you have any storage products you use
and recommend or other helpful advice, please feel free to share.

Thanks, and have a wonderful week!

 

Best wishes, Miranda
