Anyone live in a flat with dogs ?

[LadyNell]

I'm currently pondering on putting my house on market and buying a 2 bed flat for financial reasons. Not much here on market, I'd really like a ground floor flat with a bit of outside space for my 2 dogs but they are like hens teeth here..

My question is how practical is a flat with no outside space with dogs ? I mean I'd take them out twice a day but what if they need to go in the middle of the night etc ?

Opinions please

For a while DDog and I lived in a flat with a communal garden only (totally insecure fencing) and it was a PITA. Every time he wanted a wee I'd have to be up, dressed, and schlepping around the garden with him on a lead.

I've now got him in a ground floor flat with a small yard and it's far easier.
