El Momento

If you look for a place away from the noise and the lights of the city where to focus on service to others (dogs) you can enjoy the pride to be a critical part of building a new and modest project. The dogs are big and energetic (mastiffs and Turkish kangal mix), and are wild and powerful. You will work unsupervised often and you are trusted to help safely break a fight (but BEST anticipate them) so you SHOULD have already experience with positive but assertive dog handling.
You MUST stay AT LEAST a month to undergo training (which starts online ahead of your arrival) and learn about the dogs, dog handling and safety procedures. But also takes time to build a bond with the dogs and get them to trust and respect you. Some people stayed long time yet weren't able to be "seen by the dogs", mainly because they themselves did not focus on the dogs, didn't pay attention and weren't able to "see" the dogs around them.
The helpers who enjoyed most and benefited from the training and experience with the dogs stayed several months (and are returning for more stays) but also left their baggage at the door and dedicated themselves to serve and feel the dogs.
The dogs also need time to trust you and follow your lead. So please, ONLY apply if you are coming to work with the dogs and ONLY for a month or more. This is a place for growth and learning and more suitable for ´inner travellers´ than for those looking for action and adventure visiting many new places. It´s quiet and with great dark skies but slow living. The only culture you will experience is the dog culture here.
You'll work 4 days per week and get 3 days to travel, to spend away, study or volunteer somewhere else if you wish.

In case is not clear yet... The dogs are big and energetic and are developing and you will work unsupervised much of the time, so you must have already experience with positive but assertive dog handling

Good luck with your travels

At any given time there will be one or several exchange travellers. You won´t be asked to share a room, but there is ONLY one toilet. The work with the dogs is morning and evening. Also there are some facilites improving and farm type of tasks. Is a total of around 8 hours each day 4 days a week with 3 days away from the place. Depending on how many people are at the time other working hours and days off can be arranged.

Fue una experiencia enriquecedora dónde he podido aprender mucho sobre la vida del perro, el compromiso con ellos, el respeto que conlleva toda la relación con ellos, una excelente oportunidad para trabajar fomentando la vida sostenible en el campo, y muchos sitios hermosos que recorrer, agradecida con la oportunidad de poder compartir en este lugar ✨

David fue baneado de otras aplicaciones porque simplemente no funciona como líder.
Nos vamos antes, por primera vez en toda nuestra experiencia, porque se rompen todos los acuerdos, se trabaja de más, se lava los platos de él y si alguna vez el tiene que lavar los del equipo se enoja, hay que cocinarle y limpiar y no lo cuenta como trabajo, si no hay sol no hay luz, el presupuesto es un día uno y otro dia otro. El anfitrión no debería tener voluntarios. Lo único que vale la pena son los perros. Intentamos hablar con él y que entienda pero no funciona. Tenemos pruebas para quien quiera pedirlas

Manda las pruebas. Estaré encantado de defenderme de estas injurias en el tribunal

My experience was really nice. I love it! Samuel and David learned me a lot about the dogs. They are wonderful people and each of the dogs have a different personality that makes you love them instantly. Apart from dog training, I participated in other tasks on the El Momento property. I liked it because I learned new things that help you in everyday life. Everything that it was said will be offered to me was true, like the food, my own room, and the free days. In my free time I visited the city of Madrid countless times. So i recommend this experience to everyone!🤍
