Before you arrive home with your new hound, you should have designated a safe, quiet, warm place to put a soft, thick bed down for your dog. Once home, help your greyhound by being calm and give them time to explore without making any demands. Before you go to bed take your greyhound out for a last toilet visit. How well you manage on the first night sets the pattern for the future. Don’t make a fuss when you leave them to go to bed. After all, your greyhound slept on their own in kennels so they are used to being alone at night.
