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. Since greyhounds do not attack, they can be considered watchdogs, but not guard dogs.
Greyhounds are natural athletes, and they love to race around in circles within a fenced yard.
They usually do this daily, before they flop down on the bed for the day. Exercise is not a problem for greyhounds - they will walk or jog with you, or rest peacefully beside you in front of the television. They are not hyper or nervous. Basically, they will learn your life pattern and adapt. To report page problems, please contact the USA D.O.G. webmaster .
