Papillon

They require strict house training to avoid accidents and damage to floors and carpeting.
Labradoodle
The Labradoodle crossbreed Labradoodle has become a favorite dog for apartment living. The Labradoodle is friendly, patient and very trainable. This breed is also excellent with children and can be trained to be a service dog for those with allergies. Labradoodles must be kept on a lead and not left alone in an apartment. They must be trained to use the toilet in order for them to be allowed into a home with one owner.
Basset Hound
If you're living in an apartment, a Basset Hound might be the perfect pet. These medium-sized dogs are happy to be indoors and don't require much exercise. Their daily exercise should consist of a stroll around the block. If you are an active person, you can take them hiking. Bassets may not be the fastest of dogs, but they are strong and healthy.
Pekingese
Many people don't have the time or energy to exercise large, energetic breeds of dogs. Many breeds of dog require less exercise. Pekingese and similar toy breeds don't require a lot of exercise but require walking for 20 to 30 minutes or trips to the dog park every day. Pekingese and Tibetan Terriers, which are smaller breeds, do not need as much exercise.
Toy Poodle
Toy Poodles can be great pets for apartments. Spend some time teaching your puppy to stay at home when you're away. It is also crucial to ensure your dog has lots of confidence in hearing loud noises like the ringing telephone. You should also remember that not every apartment is suitable for a big dog. Therefore, a Toy Poodle may be the right dog for apartments.
