City life is associated with living in an apartment, which would make owning a dog tough. While it is best to avoid big dog breeds like huskies or german shepherds because they require more space, there are many smaller dog breeds that will be perfectly happy living in a high rise with affection and frequent exercise.

1. Basenji

Because the Basenji is a peaceful dog that rarely barks, you won’t have to worry about thin walls or the proximity of your neighbors. They are a medium-sized dog who does not require a lot of living space, but they will require a lot of daily exercise to stay happy and healthy.

2. Boston Terrier

This lovable breed rarely grows higher than a foot and a half and adapts nicely to any environment. They are simple to teach and can make excellent house pets. They do have a lot of energy, but this can be regulated with a daily quick walk.

3. Shih Tzu

These lovely tiny pups, bred to be lap dogs, make ideal city companions. They have the easygoing demeanor of a large dog but prefer brief outside breaks over extended walks. They will require regular grooming and obedience training, but because of their gentle disposition, they will get along with strangers, other dogs, pets, and children.

4. Bichon Frise

This dog is a cheerful, happy bundle of fluff and a perfect option if you have limited space. They are versatile and easy to teach, and they are unlikely to grow bigger than a foot in height. Their favorite activity is to play, and they have a lot of energy, so get ready to have a good time in the park!

5. Chihuahua

This breed, known for its petite height, will be happy everywhere and can readily adapt to limited living quarters. They will, of course, require regular activity, but it won’t be in such need for cuddling as much as other breeds. They make excellent companions because they are loyal and devoted to their owners, although they can be forceful around new people and other dogs.

6.Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

With this puppy by your side, you’ll never be lonely. They enjoy nothing more than curling up on their owners’ laps and receiving cuddles and belly rubs. They appreciate being at home and become highly close to their owners, and are happy to play fetch even in a limited space. House training may be difficult with this breed, but with patience, love, and perseverance, they will learn.

7.Maltese

These dogs are charming and friendly, and while they enjoy playing, they don’t require a lot of space to do so. They can also be a good alternative for people who have allergies because, although having lovely coats, they do not shed. Their owners’ proximity is vital to them, thus they are best suited to a home where people are present most of the time.

8. Poodle

Poodles are usually born in three sizes: regular, miniature, and toy, with the latter two being the ideal choices for smaller living situations. They are incredibly intelligent, which makes them easy to train and ensures that they behave well when dealing with other people and dogs. As a result, your daily visit to the park should always be a pleasant experience for both of you.

9. Brussels Griffon

You may need to encourage them to join you for their essential exercise if they are a strong breed who prefers to stay at home rather than go outside. Cuddles will never be far away from these affectionate and faithful creatures, who can’t get enough of human interaction.

10. Yorkshire Terrier

This joyful little dog, often known as a ‘Yorkie,’ can easily be exercised indoors in addition to their daily stroll. They also make excellent guard dogs, alerting you to anyone approaching your home. This may mean that these dogs may be wary of strangers, but this is easily corrected by early socialization and training.

Whatever breed you choose, keep in mind that a small breed of dog does not imply minimal or no exercise, as all of our canine friends require it on a daily basis. Indeed, with city living, the correct amount and type of exercise will not only keep your dog healthy but will also make their time at home more enjoyable.
