I love how happy he is. You can tell he loves what he's doing.

I love your training methods. We adopted a Greyhound a few days ago named Sootie. She was lovely and friendly but didn't have alot of confidence getting down stairs. After a few days of me needing to carry her downstairs (because she liked sitting up with me and could get up them quite easily) and letting her settle in a bit we tempted her to each step with a sprat. Now she wombles down the stairs with no problem. She is extremely loving and I wasn't a fan of Greyhounds before her but my partner fell in love with her and now so have I.

he is so excited about training and I love his springy jumps and how you can motivate him!

I can't wait until I move and adopt a rescue. They are such lovely creatures.

He looks so happy. You obviously have a great bond.

It's very useful to see how to train my dog basics. Hope you can post more training video again :)

The song at the end is so beautiful! And the advice is so valuable, thankyou!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge Rachel. Aldo and I sent regards from Australia.

Great information thank you

What a lovely happy hound x

I know I should be focusing on the training but.... he’s the most beautiful boy! That tail wag! 🥰

Please make more training videos! You’re awesome. Could you do a video about separation anxiety and keep the greyhound off furniture (sleep startle) would love to know what your advice would be

Thankyou Rachel this vid , it was great, also refreshing to find you here on KZfaq as their are limited clips here for Greyhounds overall and those from NZ or Australia. I’ve just started training our 7 year old rehomed and rescue Greyhound Meri. 4 weeks I’ve had her now and she is set to stay with us. Just the basics and I know when she tires of it so I just stop, praise her then settle her. Is there any particular time you think these training sessions should take place? eg. after or before her outdoor morning ball time , walk, and before than long morning sleep? Or do you suggest I need to start it first thing each morning? How many times a day do you suggest to have a session like you demonstrated? In advance ,Thankyou for your time ....I just subscribed!

Nice video 👍

Appreciate the video, well done. Only that it is not necessary to use so much treats in my opinion. A dog can lean to focus without. If this would be a labrador, he would weight a ton already.

Same colour and markings as my greyhound.

this is perfect! im thinking of getting a greyhound

He's the spit of my Bill! (Who I'm afraid to say isn't nearly so well behaved at all - though I've started doing some treat-based training with him.)

Love that tail....lol ...happy boy!

Hi I am hoping you can help me I am having some problems house training my puppy lurcher. He goes out straight after food and water but still comes in and wees in the house or poos. Any help please xxx

I love you training style. I`m really thankful for you video. Do you have any advices to rename a retired greyhound?

Hi where can I get one? Thanks

maybe a stupid question but i may be a first time greyhound owner, will they not get confused if they jump up, you ignore, but then reward him too quickly for staying down?? I'm afraid they may think jump up, wait = treat

Your dog must be very happy in lock down , he gets to stay with you as long as he wants.

The silliest and goofiest of dogs for sure - they will make you laugh every day. Unfortunately my grey was attacked by an off leash dog and now she hates other dogs and gets aggressive. I just try to keep her away from other animals to avoid conflict. It's a challenge at times.

Thank you, very helpful! Where can I find the Hound for Life song?

this is so wholesome please be my mom

Could you by chance spell out underneath your video what dog treats you're talking about (or perhaps a link to a recipe) since for the N. Americans the Kiwi accent is a bit difficult to unravel in certain spots and the name of the dog treat/roll was one of those spots for me. Thanks

Omg Greyhounds are so elegant.. Presumably the behaviour similar to a Galgo (Spanish Greyhound) ?

How long does this process take? I'm about to pick up a 12 week old. When do I start this training and for how long usually?

omg he's the spitting image of my He-man ❤

👌

Both my husband and I work, although these days my husband is working from home. We are probably going to be getting a greyhound on Saturday and I’m scared of separation anxiety . Also, we have a cat and will be getting a cat tolerant one, but any advice would really help. I think it’s great that my husband will be home so he can monitor its behavior, but since he is now working from home, he won’t be able to give it too much time in the day. I’ll be back by about 6pm , so again, if there’s any advice for us, I’ll be very grateful for it.

What does she mean when she says the dog roll is "much bitter for your dog"?

Hi Rachel. Where do you train your Greyhounds? I’m in Victoria Australia. I am hoping you may be close by. Also do you do private or group training classes. I have a Whippet and have had Greyhounds in the past. Both breeds are very similar in many ways, in my opinion, the whippet just being a smaller version. I belief the gentle nature of the Whippet and Greyhound requires a different more gentle training approach which to the best of my knowledge I try to apply, but I am interested in improving my training methods by someone who is more adept with the two breeds. May you be able to help? Regards David Attridge Victoria Australia

There are lots of greyhounds in Oz?

my grey has to sit before getting any treat

Hi, thank you for this video! Can I ask you what dog treats you use for the rewards? I didn’t get what you mentioned - posse young rolls?

Is there a way to do this when your dog is not food-motivated.

Hi can i pls ask the purpose of training him to touch your hand ? Will rewarding him for this not encourage him to do that constant 'nudging' that is soooo annoying ! My friends dog does it constantly and i see that they absent mindedly pet it every time it does it, so it just does it more ! Even if it didnt learn this bad habit, what is the purpose of the excersise pls ? You dont mention it in thd vid. Thank you !

Mine is a bit of an a-hole. Plus the second we’re outside she doesn’t even look at me. If I try to give her a treat she ignores it😂

My greyhound wont get in the car - I have to lift him - tips?

Thought they can't do a proper sit for obedience competition

ed writer dog book

Good luck with training a saluki...

That’s going to be a fat greyhound the amount of treats you’re shoving into him 😂

Note: track rescued greyhounds have never lived in a home they’re likely to have joint issues due to being overworked they aren’t house trained neither have they sat on a couch or understood a sliding glass window. They have been obedience trained. They’ve never just ‘dogged’. Help them to b a family member n Let ‘em dog. Agility training in rescue greyhounds should only be done after u consult with ur vet.

im getting one so i can train him to chase my friend s but not bite to scare the crap out of them

How on Earth did you get another dog to look like a noodle horse, because there’s no way that’s a real grey. 😅

This way you're just going to have a fat dog that is food oriented, so no food - no reaction. That's not a good method.
