Your dog needs to get used to being indoors. Put a leash on her and bring her inside for short periods, even for just a few minutes to give her a tasty treat. Toss treats in the doorway to encourage her to enter if she is too nervous.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PRNJyfU8KiI\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-do-you-entertain-a-large-dog-inside\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_you_entertain_a_large_dog_inside\"><\/span>How do you entertain a large dog inside?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Keeping your dog mentally and physically stimulated while stuck indoors is important. Training games, toys, and treats are all useful ways to keep your dog entertained in your home. Dog sports like scent work or agility offer great options for exercising your dog indoors.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"is-it-cruel-to-have-a-big-dog-in-a-small\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_it_cruel_to_have_a_big_dog_in_a_small_house\"><\/span>Is it cruel to have a big dog in a small house?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Some large dogs, typically herding and sporting breeds, were developed to work constantly, and it\u2019s more difficult to keep them happy in a small apartment. The bottom line is this: Apartment living is not cruel, even for a big dog, and if the dog and the owner both seem happy, I\u2019d be guessing they are happy, indeed.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"are-dogs-happier-indoors\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_dogs_happier_indoors\"><\/span>Are dogs happier indoors?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Indoor dogs are happy, but they need ample daily time outdoors to exercise, play and potty. Many domesticated dogs don\u2019t do well outdoors full-time and should be brought indoors overnight, at the very least.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"is-it-sanitary-to-have-a-dog-in-the-house\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_it_sanitary_to_have_a_dog_in_the_house\"><\/span>Is it sanitary to have a dog in the house?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There is no reason a house with dogs should be any less sanitary than one without dogs. You will definitely have to stay on top of cleaning, but don\u2019t think having dogs in the house means odors and hair-coated furniture are inevitable.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-is-the-hardest-dog-to-potty-train\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_hardest_dog_to_potty_train\"><\/span>What is the hardest dog to potty train?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Jack Russell Terrier<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf all of the terrier breeds, the Jack Russell is, hands down, the most difficult to housetrain,\u201d according to MedNet Direct, who says, \u201cJack Russells can be some of the most stubborn dogs out there.\u201d<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p><noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Jz2Eui6rafg\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"can-a-dog-be-left-alone-for-8-hours\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_a_dog_be_left_alone_for_8_hours\"><\/span>Can a dog be left alone for 8 hours?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Most experts agree you shouldn\u2019t leave your adult dog alone for more than eight to 10 hours, but some dogs (especially ones with small bladders) can\u2019t last that long.

Living in an apartment isn\u2019t right for every large dog, but many big dogs are very happy in little apartments. It\u2019s all about making sure you find the right dog, and having the time to devote to creating an enriching life inside and outside of the apartment!<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"can-a-dog-be-happy-in-an-apartment\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_a_dog_be_happy_in_an_apartment\"><\/span>Can a dog be happy in an apartment?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Living in an apartment can be a bit cramped for some dogs.
