More Information About Greyhound Ownership and Greyhound Dog Training
The Greyhound breed is known for having the makings of a home pet: affectionate at one point, a couch potato and a heavy sleeper on the next. Most greys are quite satisfied with fetch or chase, and retired racers are known to act laidback and relaxed, which are all in contrast to their early years of daily racing. In accordance with greyhound dog training, new grey owners need to know right there at the rescue if their dog may need a muzzle, whether off-lead or on-lead and some may never experience off-lead because the urge to bolt is just too powerful. Owners may also need to check how the dog’s behavior may be influenced by its racing history, its level of prey drive, etc. Some dogs are fortunately “cat trained,” which mean these have low-prey drives and can do without a muzzle. A lot of owners have been able to train their dogs to recall via food bribes. These plans usually start with allowing the dog to have games and freedom of movement in enclosed areas such as basketball courts or tennis courts. Some six months later, dogs can go off-lead but under controlled conditions, which means making sure to have no access to main roads, choosing quiet country paths with no animal distraction, and so on. Be wary also of any notions of the dog as fully managed in the hands of a young child; in fact, these dogs have surprising bursts of strength. All it takes is the distraction of an attractive looking furry in order to send the dog to some rather irresistible pulling. A slightly built child is therefore not the best walker for a grey. Ultimately in greyhound dog training, greys cannot be classified that easily; each dog that catches your attention will need to be examined more closely. If you want your dog to come from a rescue, be clear and honest with your ideas. For example, be clear that you are capable of training the dog to be offlead sans a muzzle. A rescue with quality service and concern for the welfare of its wards will likewise be honest. With such a source of your future pet, be ready to wait for a while for the right dog.
