Therefore, they are not suited for outdoors in extremely cold or hot weather. When adopted, owners find greyhounds enjoy their own soft spot where they can feel protected. Since they were raised in a sheltered environment, greyhounds are not street wise. They have no fear of cars or other hazards in the world, and should therefore, be kept on a leash whenever they are not in a fenced area. Greyhounds should be given a nice long walk three or four times a week and enjoy being taken to a large fenced space where they can sprint once or twice a week.
Greyhounds make excellent jogging companions once they are trained to go at the new pace.
