Training

Positive reinforcement is key to force-free training, but it can be a bit tricky when your hound is wearing their muzzle

Your new hound may not know their name, but teaching them is not hard, in fact it is a great way to bond with them and to give them lots of positive reinforcement.

Many greyhounds have never encountered stairs before. Other dogs learn this skill as a puppy when they are fool-hardy and fearless.

It is important to keep in mind that your new Greyhound has likely never seen any other breeds of dogs before, so it may take them a while to recognise them, time and patience as well as positive training methods can help to overcome reactivity.

Sometimes, we see some greyhounds freeze mid-walk. It’s all a fear response – and one you can work with them on overcoming.
