Your puppy's whole world, for now, is a few hundred square feet and a hallway full of neighbors who never signed up to live with a dog. Most puppy training books don't account for that. They assume a yard, a back door, a stretch of grass where barking barely registers. This one doesn't.
Good Neighbor Dog is built specifically for apartment and condo life: housetraining without a yard, barking that turns into a genuine noise complaint, alone-time training that actually holds up on a real workday, and hallway manners for elevators, stairwells, and close encounters with strangers and their dogs. It covers the tired mouth and tired brain that come from real mental enrichment in a small room, the walk that has to do the job of exercise, bathroom, and socialization all at once, and the adolescent phase that hits differently when there's nowhere to burn off a bad mood.
No filler, no generic advice lifted from a farmhouse manual, and no assumption that you have unlimited time or space. Just a clear, practical plan for raising a calm, confident dog your building barely notices, written for owners living the way most owners actually live.
If you're bringing a puppy into a small shared space, start here.
