Great Danes, surprisingly, are just as happy with a small space as with a large one. Most large dogs have a lower activity level, while smaller dogs require a much greater level of activity. Giant breed dogs usually require two good long walks a day.
The Great Dane likes to lie around and he or she only requires at a minimum a good long walk once a day. The Great Dane does not bark much and rarely become aggressive. Larger urban areas are well-suited for the Great Dane as it loves everyone and needs to be around people. It is also playful and patient with children. However, because of the size and head strong nature, the Great Dane should be socialized and obedience trained at an early age and always kept on leash. The Dane can even adapt to being left on her own during the day as long as she gets a walk and lots of company in the morning and evening.
As an apartment dog, she will need a few things to make her and you happy: A space of her own. Whether a corner in your bedroom or a space in the hallway, you will need to provide at least a little spot for him to call his own. A very soft bed or large cushion to lie on or she’ll be up on the furniture like no tomorrow. A raised dog food dish, and for those colder climates a coat or cape to keep warm on those long daily walks.
As long as you provide a little space in your home, get some obedience training and provide the exercise this breed needs, then the Great Dane makes an excellent apartment dog.
