Husky Living in an Apartment
If you live in a small apartment and want to buy or adopt a Husky puppy, then you are probably asking yourself “Can Siberian huskies live comfortably in a small apartment?” Well it’s not just a simple yes or no question I’m afraid.
It’s both yes and no. Siberian huskies are very energetic dogs and need to exercise a lot. They enjoy running around and other activities which involve a lot of movement. You have to understand the Siberia husky dog breed history to understand the breed. In short, yes they can live in an apartment but they won’t be as happy if they had a large back yard to run around in and have fun.
Of course you could take your husky dogs out for a run to get him out of the small apartment, but a jog a day really isn’t enough for a husky. They need a lot more than that to stay happy and healthy.
If you do get a Husky in a small apartment and don’t take him out for runs regularly and won’t keep him busy, he will let you know he is bored. You husky will destroy everything in sight if he is bored or left alone for an extended period of time.
The Siberian husky dog is an amazing breed, but they do have a lot of requirements. If you don’t think you’re ready to commit to such a dog, maybe the breed just isn’t for you.
My husky Bear was a gift to my son when I lived on a large private lot. However, he never was allowed to walk without a leash. Due to a divorce we moved to an apartment. He adjusted well and has never chewed shoes, pillows, or anything else. I walked him several time around the complex daily. I also would take him to the tennis court late at night, take him off the leash and allowed him to run freely. After he had enough he would run back to me and I would put his leash back on and we walked home. I have since purchased another home with a back fenced back yard. He loves it. Bear is very loved and shows his love towards me. He is very protective of me and beats me to the door when the doorbell is rung. He is my 5th Siberian Husky and is well worth vacuuming up his hair twice a day.
