We live in apartment that doesn't allow dogs. And Toby has yet to be discovered by the management. It has been 4 months so far. Also he wasn't much a barker to begin with...we are lucky. The only time he barks is if he wants attention or as a protection measure. But overall, Toby doesn't bark much since we trained him not to be a barker at home. So he lets out maybe five barks a day. We just make sure to have our TV on at all times...so that it would drown out the few barks. However, we also never leave Toby at home. If we can't be with him, he is always with a sitter. Also, we are lucky because my boyfriend owns his own photography studio so he brings him to work everyday.
Not all dogs bark alot but it depends on the dog. If its a chance you are willing to take, I say go for it. Also as far as getting him in and out of the place, we always put him in his carrier bag...so he is always hidden. The only downfall is that we have to go to a park a few miles aways for walks. |
