> You probably shouldn't have a dog if you are living in an apartment building in the first place.

Why?

Dogs need space, and locking up a dog for 10 hours in a 1 bedroom apartment while you're at work is borderline cruel.

About a quarter of dogs in the US are adopted. Their alternative to apartment life is often death.

Large, high-energy dogs definitely need space. Smaller and lower-energy dogs can do well with at home stimulation and consistent exercise.

I also don’t know why you’re assuming any of this: 10 hours locked up in 1 bedroom.
