Dogs act mainly from habits that have been developed over a period of time and that fact can help you as a dog owner. As the dog owner, you need to install the habits of your choice. Don’t let your pet create his own habits that you might not appreciate. Puppies have limitations it would be well to keep in mind. He can’t wait for long periods of time to relieve himself since his bladder is so small. Understanding and patience will help you deal with your puppy’s limitations.

Don’t scream at your puppy when he has an accident. Training your new pal requires patience. If your puppy has an accident on the living room carpet, be gentle with him.

Greyhounds are wonderful animal racers.  As they race and perform through their profesional careers, they usually race until they are between 1.5 and 4 years old.  During this time, they become adjusted to being walked and lead on a leash, so upon retirement from their profesional lives, they make excellent pets!

As a former athlete, they are smart, quiet, calm, clean, gentle, and all around good-natured and happy to adapt to a new home life.  They react well to positive attention and reinforcement and so they are a pleasure to train and work with for the new families they become a part of.

They love attention and while they do want exercise, they do not need as much space to run as many might think.  Inside the house, they prefer to curl up in a corner on a soft rug.  They are gentle creatures and very well behaved inside a home and around people.

Greyhounds spend most of their life with other dogs, people, and handlers, so they are very sociable animals and get along well with others.  Their personality makes them an wonderful breed to be near children.  Their intelligence and devotion make them an perfect companion.  And because they are well mannered, they are well behaved around company and in public.
