After spending months looking for an affordable place to live, I finally found an open apartment in the heart of Manhattan. The only downfall was that the building had a strict no dog policy. Since I was 15-years-old my dog Kolya has gone with me everywhere, and I wasn’t about to give him up now.

Instead of passing on the residence, I decided to stealthily keep Kolya with hidden in the apartment. He has always been a bit overprotective, and has a propensity to bark at even the slightest noises. Last week I bought him a no bark collar, which has almost completely eliminated the problem. Hopefully he will be trained in a little while and I can stop subjecting him to the device.
