Took Nala to Odin Valley Dog Park this week and honestly… what a game changer for dogs like her 💛
For those who know Nala, you’ll know she has selective recall (aka hearing loss when it suits her 🙃) and can be selectively reactive depending on the situation. Because of that, safe spaces are everything.
Having a fully enclosed, secure field meant she could:
✨ Run freely without me worrying
✨ Sniff to her heart’s content
✨ Be a dog without pressure
✨ Practice recall in a controlled environment
No off-lead stress.
No surprise dogs.
Just confidence-building, decompression and proper freedom 🐶💨
Spaces like this are so important for dogs who need a little extra understanding. It’s not about being “naughty” - it’s about giving them the right setup to succeed.
If you have a dog with unreliable recall, nervous tendencies, or reactivity, I genuinely recommend giving it a try. It’s been such a positive outlet for Nala, the second we head down the bumpy road she knows where we are💛
