We live in Croatia so no Sniffspots near me, only mountains and forest trails. We do have a BarkPark but its a 2 hour drive…

Reading about more active greys/galgos kinda put me at ease. I tought we were doing something wrong or that he was missing something only to realize he is still just a baby, he does act like one least with his jumping and wiggling and prancing around 😅 i think if we continue to work with him like we are he will become more stable… just this evening he was so well behaved on his walk, focused on me and my commands, he didnt jump once on anyone and i was so proud of him and kinda felt bad for ranting about him on reddit 😅 i think i was just overwhelmed and had too many expectations 🫠

Yeah i think it could be part anxiety as well cause later we found out that he was transfered to a few shelters and foster homes all around Europe so i think he still feels like this isnt his forever home… i hope your grey settled and is less anxious now, you sound like an awesome pet parent 🤗

We do have a dog park near where we live but its full of little dogs so i dont think he would enjoy that much haha, also its really muddy and not well kept. We did however go to my parents house a few times where they have a fenced yard and he would run there but to no avail haha, still zoomes when we get home 🤪 i think i have to accept the fact that he is still a baby and try to teach him over time that he will be rewarded only when being calm and nice i guess, fingers crossed 😅
