Establishing a daily routine is important for forging a solid bond with your pet. A dog's schedule ought to provide time for eating, sleeping, exercising, and spending time with its owners.

Dogs may become bored if they don't have consistent routines or enough time during the day for exercise and enrichment. Boredom is a major factor in behavioral issues like excessive barking and furniture chewing.

It is ideal for taking your dog for walks many times a day. The ideal time to exercise your dog will depend on both your schedule and the temperament of your dog.

The OP in today's story has two dogs, but one of them, named Whiskey, has three legs as one was amputated completely when she was two months old. As a result, Whiskey took the OP a long time to potty train.

The OP wasn’t allowed to take her outside or let her do any major running or anything else while she healed. Throughout those three months of healing, the OP tried to potty train her for inside, but it was very difficult.

Fast forward to the present time, and the OP has finally gotten the dogs into a routine, and Whiskey has one specific spot she likes to pee in. This happens to be in front of a balcony of an apartment, but the lady living there wasn't so pleased with the idea.

She should be worried about whoever it is with a big dog that does leave his shit there

We've gathered some of the top comments from redditors for you to read through below

You aren't leaving their messes behind

Harsh but it was not uncalled for

This Redditor would work the doggies someplace else

You never what this crazy lady will do

You have also spoken to property management

It was hard to get him to a routine

You should have tried to accommodate her

Why make things worse by keep doing it?

Wasting water like that sounds so horrible

You can walk the dogs on a different direction

The OP has been nice as well as dismissed her

She is claiming dominion over communal space

People love to try and control other people's behaviors

It's great that you clean up after your pups

The property manager seems to be reasonable

She technically does not have a patio

You are picking up after them

You are messing with her right to quiet enjoyment

The OP stood up for herself

Running in the park is not the only form of exercise and enrichment for dogs. The idea is to discover methods to bond with your dog while giving them the right amount of mental and physical activity.

It's a terrific method to connect with your dog to teach them tricks and work on fundamental obedience commands. The OP might have overreacted, but Redditors gave the story a "Not The AH" verdict.
