It my first time having a dog...I stay in a rented apartment in Lagos.I would like to know what and what to do not to annoy neighbours ...

- Train your dog not to litter the entire compound with poo
- Pack the poo immediately it drops
- Train your dog not to bark unnecessarily as it can be annoying to others
- Sometimes allow your neighbors to play with your dog but never give them room to feed your dog else they might give your dog rubbish someday
- Depending on the breed, keep your dog inside your house, as not every neighbor is dog-tolerant
- Out of courtesy, always keep your dog under leash when its outside the house, even though you know it might not attack your neighbors

I had my dog when i was staying in a self-contain and i did the above.
If its a large dog breed, then it's a different ball game and others might have better advice to give

Thanks bro

And bro

If its a GSD, then you have a lot of work to do. GSDs are known for having so much energy.
Let the pros and other gsd owners help you out.... Knyte, prodeegee, blasiangurl, didilove1, tylerdan arcbay

wow this is not a straight ward answer cause if the dog can't stay indoors then you may need to talk to your neighbors at the very least to inform them. The dog may not necessary stay indoors all the time but you may consider that as a part time option.

GSDs are generally high energy dogs that require much mental and physical stimulation so spend quality time with the dog.
Get a vet and ensure you dogs vaccines are up to date
read up about whats best to feed your dog especially in Nigeria/and cheap options available.
CAGE - You didn't update us how old your dog is if (s)he is a pup then you may want to consider an indoor sleep basket before considering a big cage if or when you finally go for a cage get something with space for your dog to fill comfy in but not too big that s-he fills lonely if it outside ensure its has legs and a soft floor. Most carpenters have an idea or local iron smiths.

Please feel free to ask specific questions. This is my 2kobo.

You might find this worth reading its really insightful from Arcbay

Found this for you.

"You'd be lucky if the landlord is totally cool with a dog. It depends on what you want from the dog and the type of neighbours you have.

The 11 Play-Factors

1. Socialization: Do you want your dog to be social with everyone within the premises? It has its Pros & Cons.

2. Infants: Are there kids in the compound? More reason to socialize

3. Relationship: You also need to build good relationship with co-tenants to appreciable rate

4. Freedom...."

The truth is if you raise the dog indoors. I.e if its a flat. You wont have much to worry. If not...for a gsd. Noise is nearly inevitable.

It a flat.but still it a safe contain without balcony.

It a flat.but still it a safe contain without balcony....so that means d cage would be outside
