He sounds perfectly balanced - alert to new & strange yet settling after determining that nothing is dangerous!

Clancy has been unsettled in our next stay. Many people and many dogs so he gets regular breaks in his car to decompress. First proper relax on his camp bed and I've successfully Dremelled all his nails while in his nice safe car. We take our wins where we find them!
Oh, and he had his first proper bath today and wasn't too fazed. He shines!

Irritating, when campers, "party", they can party at home. Wish people would be considerate.There was a camp a distance away that were partying and cracking a whip which kept the lad on alert for quite a while. He settled in the end so a perfect introduction to some noisyness.
I agree. I camp to get away from it all. Sometimes people bring it, and it spoils the experience. One story has kept me away from one place ever since...but thats another story.
@jazzies mum I like how you read your dog and respect his needs, esp as a rescue with a past.
I am reminded of that article on FakeBook from a Scotland K9 training place about "social maturity" and how rowdy dobe pups become more reserved and dignified as they mature into adults...like some of us, ideally...

I know when we were at our last weight pull class it was outdoors in a sort of rural area but someone across the street blew off a really LOUD firework. Many of the people jumped but Elroy was unphased and I didn't really see any of the other dogs panic either. It almost makes a person wonder if it was done on purpose when they saw there was a dog event going on.
