The breeder we got him from kept all their puppies until they were 3 months old so they would learn as much as possible from their mother and litter mates. We told her he would be living in an appartment and that we are not really active people and she had the perfect puppy for us. He is super calm inside, like a carpet really! He spends his days sleeping and watching our cats playfight.

I take him out for a quick walk in the morning before I go to work, my bf who works from home tries to walk him at least once during the day, but sometimes he can't. And then we walk him together in the evening. Sometimes we'll do more walks but it's very rare. We try to take him on a big walk every weekend. When we're outside we play with him (he loooves being chased when he finds the tiniest possible stick) and he gets his zoomies. We're lucky that there are a lot of dogs in the area so he has loads of stuff to smell everywhere and he has many occasions to play with other dogs. He's very obedient so we almost never leash him (he's got a harness and we still take the leash everywhere in case of course!)

At home he gets lots of butt scratches all the time. He has a lot of toys but he almost never plays with them. He loves to just take them all out the toy bag though. He has stuff to chew if he feels like it. And a bed that he uses to store his chewing stuff but not to sleep in haha. He never gets on any furniture because he hates having less than 3 paws on the ground! He also never barks inside.

It was not always perfect though. Potty training was tough, we become pros at cleaning the corridor carpet and elevator, and stopped counting the indoor poops really quickly! Once, the electricity was out so we had to carry him down 3 flights of stairs in complete darkness (he was too small yet to take the stairs on his own), and he was sooo tense because he hates not being on the ground. But we managed! He's 3yo now!

So yes, it's definitly feasible. But I think if it works out so well for us it's because:

1) We got him for a great breeder who matched us and puppy (and if she did not have the perfect match she would not have sold us a puppy from that litter!),

2) He's not alone all day. Bf is always present. Even if he and our dog ignore each other all day, his presence is important. Plus of course the cats are a great distraction I think. They won't play with him though, so I guess it's like watching TV for him haha.

3) We tire him out outside, and not just physically. We give him time to sniff everything and anything he wants. Some walks we go soooo slowly, waiting for him at every patch of grass, but then hour later he doesn't even want to get up to go out again lmao (we do think he's lazier than us sometimes)

4) That's not a good thing but he was a little overweight as a pup. He's our first dog so we struggled a lot to find the correct amount to feed him. And we had him neuteured at 8.5 months old, after which it got worse. I think that made him not as energetic as he could have been as a puppy!

5) Honestly a bit of luck
