Many Russians - dog lovers, and even more so those who have to coexist with such lovers side by side, are interested in the question of what are the rules for keeping dogs in apartment building. What if you have a dacha and the house is private? After all, unfortunately, not all owners are responsible enough for their pets, and even more so for the rules for keeping animals.
Rules for keeping dogs: law
Usually, animal owners are adequate, but sometimes, due to either an insufficiently developed sense of responsibility, or because of excessive love for the same dogs, they forget about the basic rules of keeping and raising pets, thereby endangering others, and sometimes themselves.
It is for such cases that the idea arose to regulate how many dogs can be kept in an apartment by law and what the owners will face if they violate this rule. But so far the law does not limit the number of dogs. He avoids this issue altogether. However, if animals bother neighbors, and neighbors complain to the relevant authorities, then it is these authorities who decide how many dogs can be kept.
There are several others important rules regarding pet ownership. A complete list of them can be found in the draft law “On keeping dogs in Russian Federation»
This law imposes certain obligations on the owner; you can receive an administrative fine for the death of an animal due to improper care, for cruel treatment of the animal, or for damage to someone else's property by the animal.
In this case, the owner is obliged not only to cover the damage caused, but also to pay an administrative fine.
The same law states that the corpses of pets are subject to mandatory burial or disposal. Simply throwing the body into the trash is prohibited.
Dogs in an apartment building
Due to this fact, more requirements are placed on owners:
- the owner’s responsibility to ensure that the pet does not pollute yards and public places;
- keeping a dog is strictly prohibited in a communal apartment, entrance, corridor and other places that belong not only to the owner;
- the pet should not be heard from 21:00 to 06:00;
- Walking dogs is only permitted with a muzzle and on a leash. The animal must also have a collar with a tag containing the owner’s contact information;
- Walking dogs is prohibited in crowded areas;
- Children under 14 years of age should not be sent to walk with dogs without adult supervision, as the child may not physically cope with the animal or simply become confused in a difficult situation.
Walk
When walking dogs you should be especially careful. Under no circumstances should you let your pet roam freely.
Secondly, the pet may run away, and finding it will not be easy.
Thirdly, a dog can attack a person or another domestic animal and inflict any injury on them, which will entail administrative or criminal liability for the owner.
And although the law clearly states that an animal can be walked strictly on a leash, wearing a muzzle and with a tag containing information about the owner, in practice this rule is very often neglected. As a result, there are a lot of lost animals, and attacks on people happen.
In addition, the owner is obliged to clean up the pet’s feces during a walk, although this is not common in our country and this rule came down to cleaning up animal tracks left on the asphalt.
Contents loud barking dog in an apartment, or a pet that spoils public green spaces near the house, shitting on lawns and asphalt, can sometimes lead to conflict with neighbors and even go to court. Therefore, owners who decide to keep an animal in an apartment building should be attentive to any claims from others, and even to the behavior of their own pet, so as not to receive administrative liability for violating public order.
It is also worth noting that all dogs, starting from the age of three months, must be registered with the veterinary institutions at the place of residence. The purchased animal must be registered within a week.
In addition to what is listed, the bill specifies which breeds cannot be kept in an apartment. These include fighting, service, herding, hunting and guard breeds; they are considered potentially dangerous.
What the law says about keeping dogs in a private home
For people living in a private house, the rules are not so strict, since the house and surrounding area are the property of the owner, and he is free to dispose of it as he pleases. That is, by keeping a dog in the private sector, you don’t have to worry too much about what your neighbor thinks about it. But even here, particularly unscrupulous owners have a chance to receive an administrative fine, for example, if animals roam freely around the site and find a way to leave it.
By law you can keep a dog in a personal area, allowing the animal to move freely in this area, but with the condition that the dog will not have the opportunity to go outside and its behavior will not cause trouble to others. By the way, in this case, at the entrance to the site it is necessary to hang a sign indicating the presence of a dog inside.
You can also keep dogs of potentially dangerous breeds in a private home, but to do this you will need to first obtain a license to purchase and keep such a pet. The owner of such a dog must also meet certain requirements, for example, learn at least the basics of training.
Sanitary standards and how to comply with them
Regardless of whether you keep animals in an apartment or in a private house, you must comply with sanitary and hygienic standards.
The dog must be healthy and have all the vaccinations required by age (and especially the rabies vaccination, since this is very dangerous disease, both for animals and humans), and also periodically undergo veterinary control.
Where to complain if your neighbors dog is constantly barking?
If you are bothered by dog barking, then first of all you should talk to the owner, because he may not be at home at such moments, and therefore simply not in the know. If peaceful negotiations do not bring results, then you should contact the local police officer, who will conduct an explanatory conversation, and may also issue a fine after several complaints. There are also higher authorities that are obliged to influence unscrupulous owners - Rospotrebnadzor and the regional administrative court.
Penalties and liability for violating the rules
For dishonest attitude towards the maintenance of his pet, the owner may incur disciplinary, administrative, civil and even criminal liability. ⇐
The type of liability can be determined by the court.
From all of the above, we can conclude that owning a dog is a big responsibility that must be accepted and fully understood. After all, this animal can pose a potential danger to others and even to its own owner. Therefore, in no case should you leave your pet unattended while walking, when he, one way or another, interacts with other creatures of the surrounding world. It is strictly forbidden to let even a small dog off a leash in crowded places.
The majority of citizens of the Russian Federation believe that questions regarding the residence of animals and their correct content insufficiently regulated in Russian legislation.

Rules for keeping dogs in a private home
The rules and requirements for keeping dogs in a private or apartment building differ from each other. The main difference is that pet owners living in an apartment must follow the rules established in this Federal Law, otherwise they will incur administrative penalties. There is no separate legislative act on the rules for keeping animals in a private home in the Russian Federation. Therefore, the rights of dog owners who keep them in country houses, are not so limited.
Basic principles on how to legally keep dogs in an apartment:
- a four-legged friend must live strictly on the territory of the apartment and use the premises for these purposes common use(entrance, corridor, landing) - strictly prohibited;
- the owner must ensure that his pet does not pollute common areas, including nearby courtyards;
- Noisy behavior of a pet is not allowed from 21:00-06:00;
- The legislation of the Russian Federation prohibits walking animals in crowded places;
- You can walk pets only on a leash, wearing a muzzle and with a tag on which information about its owner is indicated;
- Children under 14 years of age do not have the right to walk a pet unaccompanied by an adult.
When living in an apartment with a dog, you must be extremely attentive to the requests and claims of your neighbors, even if at first glance they seem unreasonable to you. Often, conflicts with neighbors over keeping dogs in an apartment lead to litigation.
A private house and the surrounding area are the private property of the owner, so in this case, when dogs live in country houses, the opinion of the neighbors is not so important. The only generally accepted rule is that the dog should not roam freely throughout the entire area, as in this case, he may find a way to go beyond the fence.
What breeds should not be kept in an apartment?
Breeds of aggressive and dangerous dogs are divided into the following types:
- fighting, these include: pit bull terrier; Staffordshire Teller; mastif; alabai; bulldog; Caucasian Shepherd Dogs. These breeds are born to be fighters, even if the owner devotes a lot of time to training and raising them, there is no guarantee that they will never attack people;
- hunting, these include: huskies, griffins, retrievers, Azawakhs and Blandhounds. The corresponding breeds were bred specifically for hunting, which is responsible for their specific behavior and special content. They need maximum physical exercise, which can become a problem when keeping them in an apartment;
- sentinels, these include: Rottweilers; Dobermans; german shepherds; Asian Shepherds; Bullmastiffs. The main purpose of breeding this type of dog is to perform service. Their animal instincts are heightened; in an apartment, such a dog may react inadequately to the behavior of family members, so keeping them in an apartment building is not recommended;
- shepherds, These include: collies, Central Asian and Australian shepherds, bobtails, boxers and mountain dogs. These breeds require long walking, regular training, as well as proper and plentiful nutrition. This category can react aggressively towards neighbors, family members and guests.
Important! The Russian Federation has not yet developed a separate normative act, prohibiting the keeping of dogs of certain breeds. However, in order to avoid conflict situations, it is recommended to approach the choice of a pet extremely rationally and responsibly.

The legislation contains rules that protect both the pets themselves and the people around them from those owners who neglect their responsibilities.
General information
Pets are almost family members. They give their owners joy and positive emotions. However, it also has back side. First of all, they are still animals. They have their own needs. For example, they need to somehow go to the toilet, take a walk. They may chew a shoe or knock a vase onto the floor. Besides, a good relationship with loved ones does not mean that they will be the same with neighbors and passers-by.
Sooner or later there may be conflict situations. This could be loud barking from dogs, an expression of aggression towards passers-by, or a situation where a dog shits in the entrance or on the street.
It is important for both owners and people around them to know whether the law sets rules for keeping animals and whether there are penalties for those who ignore these rules.
Anyone who gets pets not only enjoys communicating with them, but also takes full responsibility for creating appropriate conditions for them and ensuring that they do not create problems for the people around them.
Law
A draft Law on Dog Keeping is currently being considered, detailing the standards that must be followed by pet owners. On this moment this law has not yet been adopted.
Keeping dogs in an apartment building
The owner is not only obliged to feed and walk the dogs, he must take care that they do not get sick and that their diet contains all the substances and microelements they need.
In addition, you need to remember that pets must be given the opportunity to exercise.
Sanitary standards
In an apartment building, the environment for dogs is largely uncomfortable. If a person gets a dog, then he bears, among other things, a moral responsibility to provide it with the necessary conditions.
To do this you need the following:
- It is necessary that the dog not only be outside once, but also have a good walk and have the opportunity for physical activity.
- You need to handle the dog in such a way as not to give it a reason to bark loudly. At the same time, for example, it is unacceptable to lock a dog on the balcony while you are away from home.
- If the dog is large, then walking can only be done with a muzzle.
- One person is not allowed to walk more than two dogs at the same time.
- When walking with your dog, you need to be at least thirty meters away from entrances and from crowds of people.

However, in cases where an animal is taken on a tourist trip abroad, the dog may not be released without such a document.
The law does not provide for the possibility of taking away pets. This can be done in case of inhumane treatment and only through ransom.
Liability for violation of content
Violations associated with keeping animals can be of various types. On the one hand, they need to be provided with opportunities that are normal for their species. On the other hand, in exceptional cases cruel acts may be carried out against animals.
In the latter case, the punishment is provided for in the relevant article of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.
The Administrative Code stipulates that the owner is obliged to ensure cleanliness and neatness where he keeps the dog. These and similar issues are discussed in Article 6.3.
What is the punishment?
If there was cruelty towards to a pet, then the culprit falls under the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
The crime may be hooligan or sadistic and may result in injury to an animal. It is noted that cruel acts in the presence of young children are also subject to punishment on the basis of this article.
There are two parts to it. In the second, punishment is determined in cases where the crime was a group crime or by prior conspiracy.
The first part provides for the imposition of one of the following penalties:
- A fine of up to 80 thousand rubles may be imposed.
- The amount of the fine may correspond to the amount of the perpetrator’s salary for a period of up to six months.
- The offender may be sentenced to compulsory labor for up to 360 hours.
- It is possible to assign correctional labor for no longer than one year.
- Arrest is allowed, which can last up to six months.
For those to whom the second part applies, the punishments are more severe:
- Now the fine has not only an upper, but also a lower limit. It can range from 100 thousand to 300 thousand rubles.
- Penalties up to one year's salary may be imposed.
- Mandatory work may be assigned for up to 480 hours.
- Forced labor up to two years is allowed.
- The article also provides for imprisonment for up to two years.
Another article of the Civil Code deals with inhumane treatment of animals. Almost any form of mistreatment of a pet falls under it. On the other hand, it provides for the forced purchase of the animal in question by mutual agreement or at a price established at a court hearing.
The Civil Code provides for the protection of those animals that do not have an owner. These issues are discussed in the articles.
Where can you complain if your neighbors dog is constantly barking?
Unlike keeping a dog in a private house or in a yard, it carries additional difficulties, requiring increased attention and responsibility from the owners. When planning to get a four-legged pet, remember that he will certainly become another member of your family, so you need to find out the opinion of all household members in advance.
Dogs of almost all breeds are suitable for keeping even in a small city apartment, and the choice will depend not only on personal preference, but also on what inconveniences the future owners are willing to put up with.
Features of keeping different breeds of dogs in an apartment depend, first of all, on the characteristics of a particular breed, and not on the amount of wool on the carpet, although for many this indicator is decisive.
When choosing a breed, be sure to analyze what you expect from your pet in the future, and also consult with experts about what exactly this or that breed was bred for.
Some people get a dog in their apartment for protection, some are afraid to leave minor children in the apartment, while others are simply tired of being alone. Therefore, you should get detailed advice about the instincts inherent in the breed, so that later you do not try to raise a formidable Labrador from a good-natured Labrador watchdog or wean the Doberman from reacting to neighbors passing along the landing. After all, if the Labrador doesn’t even get up from his place, the Doberman will raise a menacing roar throughout the house. The majestic Rottweiler will not burst into barking, but will look at the person entering with such a look, which sometimes makes even the owners feel uneasy.
Whatever breed is chosen, there are basic rules for keeping dogs in city apartments:
1. Age of the dog.
There is a misconception that the best time to get a dog is when it is around one year old. This is due to the absence of the need to give vaccinations, accustom the puppy to cleanliness and teach him basic commands. However, in fact, the dog accepts its pack well - people close to it until about five months old, getting used to its new owners as quickly as possible. The process of getting a dog with a formed character accustomed to new owners takes long time, which can drag on for several months or even years. Therefore, it is best to get a puppy before 5 months, this statement is especially true for large breeds.
2. Place for the dog.
First of all, you need to determine a permanent place for your pet. This could be a corner in one of the rooms or a cozy place in the hallway. Dogs, instinctively being protectors, try to choose a place so that, without being in full view, at the same time they have an overview of the entire apartment. Observe where your pet prefers to be and, if the place matches your wishes, then simply lay out a small mattress, rug or blanket folded several times for the dog. For dogs of very small breeds, you can purchase special baskets with mattresses, which are easy to find at any pet store.
Place for a dog should be located in a sufficiently lit place, away from heating devices. It is also necessary to ensure that there are no drafts, which can cause illness in both the puppy and the adult dog.
Remember that if you let a fluffy ball onto a sofa or an armchair, you run the risk of not being able to get it out of there, even when the dog no longer fits there.
3. Place for feeding.
In addition to its permanent place in the apartment, the dog definitely needs a place to feed. Such a place can be equipped in the kitchen or a warm balcony.
It is advisable that nothing distracts your pet while eating, otherwise the dog may feel uncomfortable and move to another place, for example, under the dining table or on the carpet in the bedroom, taking with it a tasty bone.
For feeding, it is most convenient to use metal dishes, which are less dirty and will not be deformed by teeth, as often happens with plastic containers.
For feeding the dog large breed You should use coasters for food bowls. The dog should not bend over too much when eating, so the height of the stand will depend on the height of the dog. In addition, there should always be a bowl of clean and fresh water at the food area.
4. Feeding regimen.
Any dog by nature remains a predator, so meat should make up at least half of its diet. The specific amount and composition of food must be determined taking into account age, as well as the characteristics of the breed. Young puppies should be fed more frequently, while older puppies should not be overfed to avoid becoming overweight. Routine is important for dogs of all ages, so it is recommended to feed your pets at the same time every day. Then your pet will absorb everything useful material, and delight you with a good appetite.
5. Walk.
When keeping in a city apartment, it is quite difficult to satisfy your pet’s need for games and movement, so you need to pay special attention to daily walks. Give your dog the opportunity to socialize with his friends and release the energy that has accumulated during the day.
It should also be remembered that dogs do not defecate. bladder at a time, so two walks of 20-30 minutes a day is the minimum that is needed adult for the fulfillment of natural needs. Ideally, each walk should last at least an hour and be quite active. The dog should be allowed to run around without a leash, which is important both physically and psychological state your pet.
