Hello everyone,
I am considering getting a Doberman as a pet and I want to ensure that I have adequate space for it. I live in a two-bedroom apartment with my partner and we have a moderate amount of space. We do have a small balcony that overlooks the street, but we do not have a backyard or any other outdoor space.
I have researched online and found conflicting opinions about how much space a Doberman needs in a home. Some sources say that they are fine in apartments as long as they have enough exercise, while others say that they require a large yard to run around in.
Can anyone provide some insight or personal experience regarding how much space a Doberman needs in a home? Will my two-bedroom apartment be suitable for this breed as long as I make sure to provide enough exercise and mental stimulation? Thank you in advance for any advice or input!

Hi everyone,
I've owned a Doberman for a year now, and I live in a 1-bedroom apartment with a small balcony. My experience with my dog has been great so far, and even though we only have limited space, she manages to stay active and healthy.
What I've found to be the key to keeping my Doberman happy in our small living space is routine. I take her out for walks every day and try to stick to a schedule, so she knows what to expect. I also set up a small agility course inside our apartment for her to play with during the day.
While it's true that Dobermans need a lot of exercise, I've found that keeping up a regular routine with plenty of playtime and mental stimulation is key to keeping them happy and healthy. You may have to be creative in finding ways for your dog to get enough activity in a smaller space, but it's definitely possible.
In summary, while Dobermans may do better in larger homes with outdoor spaces, it is possible to care for them in a smaller living space as long as you are committed to providing them with enough daily exercise and stimulation. A routine and creativity are key to keeping them healthy and engaged.
