Thor is doing really well after his first few weeks in a home and getting some training! 

Greyhounds are not built to sit and many cannot, or are traumatized and will not. For greyhounds, going all the way down into a sphinx position is an acceptable response to the sit command.
Also, they don't naturally sit, so it takes a while to 'catch' them accidentally sitting, if they ever do, in order to teach them the term. NEVER ask a greyhound to sit on a hard surface, they cannot, and never force a greyhound to sit. Also do not ask them to stay in a sitting position for any length of time. Thor actually goes a long time here at one point, but it's because he's very flexible, is on soft grass, and is leaning to one side.
