Dogs on small lots often have more of a desire to get out and roam around. It is just instinct to want to explore all day. Unless someone walks their dog for some odd miles almost every day, if it's determined enough it will be willing to get that shock to go see what's out there.
More land means more area to sniff and play on. More to do. Longer space to run and really stretch the legs. If you miss a day or two of walks the dog is a lot less likely to feel the need to go exploring if you have a decent sized property.
(Of course this is all subject to each individual dog's personality. Thiss is just a blanket observation.)

Please, if your dog is arthritic look into getting it Elk Velvet Antler. Look up my posts on it, PM me, or look it up on a search engine; but please if you love your dog and want it to live many more years consider this option. I've seen so many posts on here about dogs needlessly suffering. I can't make a new post about EVA every time so this plea is going here. EVA also helps with other ailments such as anemia.
