Here, the dogs spend their days outdoors in a natural environment of forest, fields, trails, and a pond. The stimulation comes from the place itself. The smells, the tracks left by wildlife, the wind, the sounds – all of it enriches and soothes the dog much more than constant entertainment.

In the morning, they go out and connect with their day. This is often when they move more, explore, follow scent trails, play, and interact. Then, each one gradually finds their own rhythm. Some stay active longer, while others settle down quickly.

The dogs are in small groups of two to four. We keep simple, stable groups that work well together. This allows for natural, fluid interactions. The dogs can play, get close, ignore each other, or distance themselves. Nothing is forced, nothing is unnecessarily prevented. They can just be dogs.

Throughout the day, they are offered different environments. Not rigidly, but with the idea of varying experiences. Moving from the denser forest to the open field, going near the pond, changing textures, smells, and light. Some will bathe, others prefer to observe or hang back. Each one chooses.

Dogs also participate in daily life. They accompany me during garden work, in the forest, and on the field. They move freely around, observe, rest, follow a scent, and return. This presence is simple, natural, and pressure-free.

During the day, I take groups for walks in the forest of the grand park. We set off together for a more continuous, more connected time, with no other goal than to be there, to move, to breathe.

Some dogs need more contact. Others much less. I adapt. Sometimes we play a little, sometimes we simply share a quiet moment. There's no desire to stimulate at all costs. Dogs that prefer to spend their time exploring, following scents, or chasing frogs can do so. It's perfectly fine.

Breaks are offered as needed. If a dog needs to withdraw or rest alone, that is possible. During extreme temperatures, dogs are brought inside. These are calmer moments, often spent chewing. For this reason, providing chew toys is highly recommended. They help the dogs settle down and recover.

Meals are given individually, always in isolation. Each dog eats according to the instructions provided. This prevents resource guarding and allows each dog to eat at its own pace, without stress.

At night, the dogs sleep in crates in a quiet space. Soft music plays in the background to mask outside noises and promote deep sleep. Some dogs, accustomed to living outdoors and adapted to the climate, sleep outside.

As the days go by, many dogs change. They slow down, settle, become more present. They find their place, simply, in an environment that finally gives them the space to be themselves.
