Can a Siberian Husky live happily in a small condo with work access?

Question

I'm thinking of getting a Siberian Husky, I live in a small 1 br condominium. However, I'm able to bring my dog to work on most days (out doors), and there is a dog house, along with a fenced area for him to stay in for most of the (9 hour day). Is this a suitable lifestyle for the dog?

Hello, and thanks for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Coming from a fellow Siberian Husky owner, I think you could do great with this breed. I can tell you’re already thinking about how to provide enough mental and physical stimulation, which is the most important part of having a high energy breed. They can do just fine in a smaller house, as long as they’re given enough opportunities to run! Keep in mind though, that many huskies are escape artists, and often find their way out of fenced yards. I personally had to invest in an invisible fence in addition to the chain link, to keep my little runaway contained! The invisible fence taught her to stop testing the chain link. Your dog will likely need to have some good stimulation before and after your work days if it is kept in the fenced area alone, such as chasing a ball or going for a run. Good luck in your endeavors to find the right dog for you! :-)
