Lexi is not a big barker.... until we leave the house. It is something we have been working on, but luckily we live in a detached house so don't have to worry about her bothering the neighbors. I remember when researching Yorkies, I kept ready that Yorkies are great dogs for apartments/condos because they are so small. Then in the same article it would talk about issues with barking and separation anxiety. I remember thinking, that they would be a horrible dog for a apartment if barking can be an issue. I'm sure there are plenty of yorkies that don't bark when their owners leave, but if I lived in an apartment I don't think I would take that chance. I have lived in plenty of apartments that allowed dogs, but I always owned cats until I got an actual house. |
