What is the best way to keep a dog in my apartment while I'm at work? Would a crate or gates be best?

I’ve gotten permission to have a dog in my apartment, so I’m hoping to go to the animal shelter on Sunday to get a medium-sized dog (probably a Beagle mix). I have a crate and several other things for it. I work 7-8 hours a day Monday-Friday, and I have 15-30 minutes of driving time to and from work (1-way). I also have a class in the evening once a week, so I’m gone longer that day. I don’t want the dog to be too cooped up while I’m gone. Does a crate really work well for a dog? Because I think it would be too small, and of course it wouldn’t allow the dog to go to the bathroom. I could put the dog in the kitchen and use gates to keep it in, but what gate would be best for a dog that size? I don’t have tons of money to spend, but I want to make sure my dog is comfortable and happy.
Thank you to those of you who have given me good answers so far. On the day I have class, I get off work early, so I could probably come home before class to walk the dog if I need to. To those of you who insist on being judgmental…my dog will NOT be alone while I’m gone–I have two cats, one of whom I expect to become good friends with the dog, so the dog won’t be lonely. I wouldn’t get a dog if it would be completely alone all day. I know a dog would be best off having a yard, but I don’t have one right now, so that’s the way it is. I’ve had dogs before, so don’t treat me like I’m stupid. I just haven’t ever had an inside dog before, so I want some reasonable advice. If you don’t think I should get a dog, keep it to yourself and don’t answer my question!
One thing I haven’t received in my answers that I was hoping for is what kind of gates would be best. I’ve seen all sorts of different gates, but I want to make sure it’s not one the dog could jump over.

Oh, and I agree with the person who suggested I get the dog on a Friday–I would love to do that, but I can’t get off work early enough on Fridays. I work at a daycare, and it’s not always real easy to get off work early because we have to have enough people working to meet government staff-to-child ratios. Whatever the case, I plan on going as early as possible on Sunday and spending the rest of the day at home with the dog and cats so I can help the dog adjust.
Oh, when I said I don’t have tons of money to spend, I was talking about the pet gates. I have enough money to take care of the dog–I just don’t want to spend more money than I need to on expensive pet gates if less expensive pet gates would work.

Looking for the best dog for me in an apartment?

I live in an apartment in Austin, TX so I figure a short haired dog would feel the most comfortable. I also want a medium to large size dog because small dogs just aren’t my thing. Some online tests say a Basset Hound would be good for me but I’d really like a lean hound dog like an American Foxhound or something of the sort. I will be working full time so I will need to keep the dog gated in the kitchen until he/she is completly house trained during the day. I am active at night, fortunately Austin is very pet friendly so the dog will be out just as much as I. What bread do you all suggest would be the best fit for me?

Is this discrimination?

I have a son diagnosed as "moderate to severe Autistic". I receive SSI for him, as he is disabled. My family lives in an apartment owned by Humility of Mary Housing, a single parent ‘program’ run by a religious organization. To keep my apartment, I have been required to attend two meetings a month at a local church, and told that childcare is provided to kids for free during meetings. However, even though my son’s disability is known, he has been refused childcare due to behaviors associated with his condition for the past ten months. Arent they supposed to provide ‘reasonable accomodation’ if it’s due to his disability? In addition, in September I asked my ‘case manager’ to help me look into a way to get approved to get a service animal, and she said pets aren’t allowed and never looked into it at all. It took three months to get a gap in the fence fixed in the backyard; meanwhile, there were locks on the gate and my child kept escaping. I was told by maintenance to "watch your kid then", but they came and fixed it about a month later. I had no keys to the locks, so I had to run through my apartment to catch my child. I have heard phrases such as, "we have no previous experience with kids like him", "keep looking for help" yet not assisted in finding any when the program is supposed to exist to help me, etc. Wood went bad on the front porch, and a portion of that wasn’t replaced because no one "should walk there", yet my child nested in that spot with toys and they were aware… and didn’t fix that area. I need advice… is this fair, to do these things to us? Is this discrimination based on his disability? Or is it me overreacting, because I don’t think so.

How big is your backyard?

Or better put, how much fenced in area do your dogs have to their leisure outside?

My dad has two acres of land surrounded by woods but not fenced in. Our back door is approx. 60 feet to the neighbor’s fence, about 150 feet to the side of the road. I was first planning on doing 60 x 60, but after adding up totals that’s expensive.

When Josie and I lived there a year ago she had a 60 foot runner that she maaaybe used half of to run around. The line to her harness was 15 feet from the main line, so with that amount of room to roam, she still stayed pretty solitary. She wasn’t an outside dog by any means, but we mostly used it when we couldn’t stay with her outside or when she was sleeping (I prefer my dogs to sleep in proximity to me, but she loved sleeping outside).

My boyfriend brought up the point that while they might run around the entire room they have for a little bit, that much room isn’t really necessary because they’re not going to use it all, and he’s right. We have a tennis court in our apartment complex, the average tennis court is 39ft x 78ft. We take them out there, they run around the whole thing, then come back to the side we’re on. So I’m thinking of doing 30 x 20, which is 9 feet shy of one side’s length, but still 600 square feet (basically the size of our apartment minus the porch, haha…).

We’re doing no-climb fence (like for horses) that is for 100 feet (4 feet tall, I don’t want a fence taller than me ). Metal posts every 5/6 feet that are a piece. And also a locking gate so the back door isn’t the only entrance/exit.

So I’m just wondering how this measures up to other people’s backyards. What kind of room do your dogs have to play in, how much do they use? I’d definitely prefer to fence as much as I can (we have so much room!) but that’s not happening in the near future on a 20-year old’s budget.

ALSO, we’re replacing the back door with just a standard door and may lose the screen door if necessary (it doesn’t serve any purpose). Do any of you use a pet door? Was it easy to install and did your dogs like to use it or did they cry for you to just open the door? My dad does live in the sticks, but possums have long disappeared since Josie lived there last winter, so I’m not too worried about other creatures.

Another thing (talk about combo question) is the strength of the fence. We’re going to take our time making sure it’s built solid. And having never done it before, I figure we’ll learn what doesn’t work as it happens. What’s a good way to combat digging? Jumping over? My boyfriend said barbed wire under the fence works, but I’m not fond of that idea. He said it’s used for cattle, but still. Also, electrical wiring on top for jumping. I’m fine with that (use it for a week then unplug) but I would prefer alternatives.

And what do you use for shelter? I was thinking of building something make-shift and then using hay. For Josie’s old shelter, we froze 2-liter bottles of water and lined the inside with them for cooling.

They’re going to have free reign to come in and out as they please, just trying to make it as efficient as possible. And I didn’t mention what Zoey (the other dog) prefers at all because aside from running around for a few minutes and using the bathroom, I’m sure she will be under a table or on the couch 95% of the day

Thanks guys!

Can I break my Lease?

I signed a 1 year lease to the apartment I am currently living at. I moved into this apartment because it was in good neighborhood and I needed to move out of my mother’s house quick and it was close the babysitter’s house.

At first I have to say I was skeptical about the apartment but I stupidly signed the lease because I felt I was able to deal with some of the shit. Now I really can’t. My Landlord is a real asshole

There is dog shit in the front Lawn and he doesn’t want to clean it. I understand that it’s the pet owners job to do it. But I dont have any pet’s and it should not be my job to do it. We even got a notice on our door from the city if it was not picked up they would get a ticket. My landlord said that it was not his responsibility that he was not going to pick up the feces nor pay the ticket.

The lease also states there is central heat and air. There is no air! and it cheeses me off because I have 10 month old baby. So i had to pull 100 dollar out of my ass to buy an air conditioner.

One day I misplaced my front door key and had to open the one in the back since there is no gate blocking the ganway to the alley 2 dogs were in yard and alley cats are just roaming around the freakin building.

There’s a huge hole in the floor in the garage covered by a big piece of wood. The window in the garage doesn’t close so there cat’s as well in the garage.

So yeah call me stupid for signing this lease I still have about 9 months left on it.

Can I get out of the lease?

What steps do I need to take?

What are my legal rights in having my landlord repair our backyard and gate (Colorado)?

I lease a 3 bedroom single family home in Littleton, CO. The primary reason I rent a house vs an apartment or townhouse is that I have a dog who needs a backyard. I have been living here since October 2007 and just signed a lease for another year. So I’m legally committed to stay here unitl October 2008. When I moved in I was requried to submit a 0 pet deposit. So the property managment company is well aware that a dog resides at the house. The house has a fence and gate to seperate the the backyeard from the frontyard, street, etc. This gate is just about ready to fall over. The reason for this is the gate and fence are extremely old. The wood appears to be decaying and the posts need to be replaced. According to the maintenace person who the property management company utilizes fixing the gate and fence will run around 0-600. I called the property management company today and asked about when they planned on fixing the gate and fence. I was told that the owners would probably not be interested in fixing the gate/fence. He mentioned the primary reason for this was because the primary reason I wanted it fixed is becuase I have a dog. He also mentioned that I wanted it fixed I would probably have to pay someone on my own. The fence and gate are part of the house. Are the owners/proparlty management legally required to fix the fence? What legal rights do I have to make them perform the fence/gate repairs?
In addition, I have always paid my rent on time. I actually pay when I get my paycheck, so I’m always paying rent two weeks ahead of schedule. In my eyes I’m the model tennant. If the house has small problems that I can fix myself, such as a light swith that needs replacement, I do it myself rather than contacting the property managment company. I’m also pretty quiet, travel on business often, thus I’m not home to often, and have never had any problems with any of the neighbors, police, etc.
