Well, how do you mean? You have a 800 sq ft condo. Are you taking your dog hunting with you? Are you teaching it to save your life? I don't think that you want a DOG that acts like a dog.
If you're talking about a small dog, a cat is better in almost every instance. And while I wouldn't say that you should leave your cat alone for 4 straight months, cats can go for a few days at a time unsupervised.
My advice if you REALLY want to get pets is to get two kittens. That way they keep themselves company when you're gone, and you can teach them whatever you like.
Dogs are MUCH higher maintainence, and to be honest it doesn't seem like you really have that much time to devote to it anyway.
