The greyhounds are kennel broken, that is, they know not to go in their kennels. Greyhounds are quick learners, but you must show them where the living area is and where they are supposed to go to relieve themselves. When the dogs are first brought into a home they should be taken for frequent walks so they can learn where they can and can't go. Most greyhounds will bark at strangers, but if an intruder persists, they will back away.
