Trust The Vacuum | What No Landscape & Open Spaces Can Do For A Reactive Rescue Dog´s Nervous System

Today we chose an open field with hardly any landscape as our decompression walk destination, although getting there was a whole walk of it´s own navigating the chaos (and back even worse). Once we reached the open field - a former airfield - my territorial livestock guardian rescue dog was able to relax, run, sniff, dig for mice and simply be a dog. However, he displayed his typical behavior of seeing his territory as far as the eye reaches, so he wasn´t able to fully enjoy this bale of hay as he usually would, because he was still fixated on a bicycle rider in the distance. We hadn´t been to this field during the summer, because it was to hot with no option to cool off, so in summer we prefer our favorite park with creeks, as seen in many of our videos. This field is ideal for autumn and winter when it gets colder and my dog is much more active and needs lots of space to run. So today was a little pre-taste of where we´ll visit more often during the colder seasons. (and have before if you look for older videos before summer). Again as always, no action movie, but just letting it flow naturally and seeking our oases, in order to decompress and letting our nervous systems calm down. It can be an interesting experience and very worthwhile immersing yourself in open spaces with low vegetation and not too much landscape and see how it helps you learn to trust the vacuum in a world that can otherwise be quite overwhelming. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Real-life walks with a territorial rescue dog and livestock guardian mix living in a green city.
