Did you know that more than one-third of all American homes have one or more dogs? This equates to a sizable population of individuals and their dogs looking for a secure location to go outside and play. Of course, common parks are a possibility. Yards are yet another.
On the other hand, remember that most people who rent apartments or other locations won’t have a backyard. Even if they do, it will probably be disclosed to all of the other tenants. When the dog needs to go outside and play for a short while to burn off some energy, a regular park could involve a lengthy car excursion, making it impracticable.
Your multi-family or apartment complex will send a very clear message to prospective tenants if a dog park is added. By going beyond and above the basic amenities, you’re demonstrating to them how much you care not just about them but also their pets.
These features and statements can help you stand out from the competition and attract customers to your rental properties.
Outstanding Socializing Areas
Everyone appreciates being a part of a neighborhood where everyone knows one other. But in many apartment buildings, it can be challenging to get to know your neighbors, especially since not everyone feels confident walking door to door and introducing themselves. Dog parks are a terrific location to meet other dog owners in the complex and socialize. You may improve the possibility that your tenants will start to think of your apartment complex as their home and as a place they’d like to continue living by offering areas for them to socialize and get to know one another.
On the other hand, consider a tenant who rents an apartment alone and never chats with any of the other tenants. This tenant will possibly be more inclined to move out and be less likely to establish ties and connections within the apartment complex.
A dog park is a particularly fantastic way for individuals to realize they have something in common to chat about together. Any socializing area is a good thing in your apartment complex. They’re fantastic for pet parents, but they’re also fantastic for the dogs, who can make new pals in this way. Dogs have the valuable and enjoyable experience of playing with other dogs as a result.
Additional Safety
Dog owners must walk their animals several times each day. They must take their pets outside for playtime, walks, and even restroom breaks. The only practical choice for the majority of dog owners is to walk their dogs along the side of the road if there are no adjacent yards or parks.
Roads present a challenge because they aren’t always the safest option, but dog owners still require areas where they can let their dogs out. You may give dog owners the secure space they need by including a dog park in your apartment complex.
A Leash-Free Area
There are fewer and fewer sites where dog owners can let their animals run around freely as leash rules become more stringent. Dogs must be leashed in even certain general parks.
As a result, dog parks are highly sought-after areas where pet owners can let their dogs run free and unrestrained. By including one of these in your apartment complex, you not only give your tenants access to this unique space but also make it simple, practical, and delightfully accessible for them. That is very important to tenants who own dogs.
Good Doggies
It has been repeatedly demonstrated that dogs that exercise their bodies and minds regularly behave better. They have less energy to cause trouble if they spend it running about outside playing with their owners and other dogs. They’ll behave better all around and be less aggressive toward other people or dogs, as well as less prone to destroy furniture.
A well-mannered dog is advantageous to everyone. It benefits the owner as well as the neighbors in addition to the owner. They won’t have to worry about the dog causing trouble outside or listen to it bark through the walls. It’s helpful for you as the property owner as well because you likely won’t be called upon in any disputes between neighbors over a dog’s poor behavior.
A Breath of Fresh Air
Exercise and socialization are beneficial for both the dog and the owner. Additionally, it benefits the owner. Dog owners can unwind in a confined place without worrying about potential risks like traffic by taking the dog outside. They can take a break from their work, chores, or other obligations while enjoying some sunshine and fresh air.
Stress alleviation comes naturally from the sun and fresh air. Your tenants are more likely to be a little happier and a little less stressed if they have convenient access to a tranquil outside area on a frequent basis.
Amenities for People a.k.a Your Tenants
Although dog parks are often thought of as only being beneficial to dogs, people can also benefit greatly from them. There are park seats and trees that provide shade in many dog parks. These are great spots for folks to unwind while watching their pets play.
These facilities and areas not only help your tenants enjoy the sunshine and fresh air, but they also let them socialize with their neighbors and other canines. It allows them to spend time with their pet and gets them outside.
All of these factors will make your tenants somewhat happier, slightly less anxious, and significantly more likely to want to continue residing at your apartment building in the future. Additionally, they could be more inclined to refer a friend to your property.
