10 THINGS I WISH I KNEW BEFORE GETTING A DOG | RESCUE | GREYHOUND ADOPTION

- No matter how many books and podcasts I read/listened to, there were still some surprises! (not surprising, right?!) after all every dog is different. And YOU are different. So I hope this helps you in the journey of trial and error in finding out what works best with your new dog.

I love that you're the one sitting on the floor while Daphne is on the couch. Just as it should be. 😄
There’s only one queen in this house - and it’s not me!
Normal !!!😂
You should expect that when someone decorates their home interior to match their dog.
@@belmum1689 What an ignorant comment. Maybe she selected her dog based on her interior design style. Did you ever think about that? No. You only think of ways to try and insult people.
@@sabeaniebaby OMG what a hypocrite, it was actually a nice comment I meant no offence at all and I love her greyhound and her interior design, it matches, did you ever think about that. I just lost two retired old greyhounds in the past 15 months, I think you need to chill out.
Hi Jenny! One other thing you should maybe add if you do an update like this is- it's VERY helpful to have a greyhound experienced vet. As you already know, they're oddball (meant in the most loving way possible of course :) ) dogs and have internal differences as well. Their spleens are larger than other dogs, kind of like race horses, which is helpful to know when diagnosing internal issues. They are also incredibly sensitive to anesthesia unlike other dogs, their bodies metabolize it differently due to their genetics and what they've been bred to do. Just a couple things I've picked up over the years of adopting and fostering retired racers. :) Congratulations on Daphne, she's a sweetie!
I’m certainly with you on the bed issue. My experience of having a greyhound sleeping on the bed - or any dog, come to that - is that try to increase their space, to the detriment of your space. You end up on the edge of the bed, clinging on for dear life. It’s no way to get any rest.
THANK YOU!!! Yes, and then your sleep quality decreases too as they randomly decide to groom themselves or shift around :) and they're big dogs! they will take up lots of space!
My greyhound usually just curls up into a nice, space efficient ball of bliss so I don't have any issues sleeping with her, in fact I find it weird whenever she decides to sleep anywhere else in the house!
Maybe you are not the right person to have a greyhound. Get a bird or a rat.
@@profgyland2 the answer is not to not get a greyhound but to ensure that the greyhound has his/her own bed and you have yours and that they aren’t the same space. I hope this clarifies matters for you.
My greyhound isn't allowed on the bed, but we had a snowstorm recently. It got really cold and we lost power for a short time, so I let him sleep in the bed. It was good to know he was warm, but it sure wasn't easy to sleep with an 80 lb dog sprawled out on top of me. He's definitely a bed hog!
If she has a high prey drive, it would be safer to keep her on the leash and only let her off when there are no other dogs at the park (fully enclosed area only).
Wonderful advice! Two years in with our girl and it has been one of the most rewarding and special thing we’ve ever done. Greyhounds are absolutely amazing dogs.
Thank you for this video! Now that I have lived on my own for a few years, I’m finally ready for a dog. Learning about all these breed specific issues was very helpful because I’ve always been interested in greyhounds. Hope you’re having a lovely day and have a wonderful 2022 with Daphne!
Yes Dr. Jennifer Ng from Greyhound Crossroads South Carolina! I love how much research she’s done on that hook issue. Very useful video. I’ve only had mixed breed rescues of all different breeds but I really want to adopt a retired racer.
We have had a 4 golden retrievers and absolutely adore them. The only piece of furniture they get on is the sofa. They have their own beds in our bedroom and it works great for everyone.
Jenny, well done mate. Really analytical and informative. A great help. Thank you. All the best to you and Daphne. Rob
I had come by this video listening to adopted critters and continued to watch and admire the coloring of the greyhound's coat; I stayed being transfixed by the owner's patience and her most beautiful smile...
I totally understand. My 1,200 sq ft condo with a fairly large yard is more than enough room for my “kids”. I live right outside of New Orleans and am retired. The cost of living is substantially different. Being retired affords me time to spend with them.
I find that putting them on a regimented routine is best. We walk everyday, breakfast is at 10:00am, dinner at 4:00pm. On Saturdays they run in a friend’s large yard. My male Red had irritable bowl syndrome a few days ago which required a 2 day stay in the doggy hospital which cost $2,000. I can’t imagine cost in NY. Enjoy your baby.
I have 2 greyhounds. I adopted 1 then a few months later I adopted another. I’m so glad I did. They get along perfectly. 0 separation anxiety because of the bond they’ve developed. For heart worm treatment, I use Ivermectin. It’s very inexpensive and works perfectly on greyhounds. Google cc’s per pound body weight(simple math). I use a syringe to correctly measure then inject into food once a month. Very inexpensive and works great. If your hound experiences soft poop, try another quality dog food until you have better results. Remember, 2 Greyhounds are better than one.
If only I could afford two in NYC Manhattan! Everything is about 5 times more expensive here...Most buildings also have restrictions on the number of dogs you can get :( Jealous you have double greyhound love ❤️
Jenny keep the videos going. They're great, and your enjoyable to watch
It took me almost a year to break the separation anxiety with my American Staffordshire Terrier. 8 years later and he will still get a random hair up his ass and throw a fit when I’m not home. Crate training really helped with it. His crate became his safe space and he would often actively choose to nap in there during the day. Also exercising him relatively hard before crating up helped him sleep through large parts of the separation. And I’m right there with you with not letting the dog sleep in bed. I hate it cus he’s not a good co-sleeper but my fiancé really enjoys him sleeping with us so we alternate days he sleeps with us. Flip side, my Rottweiler is very co-dependent on us but oddly enough she doesn’t have separation anxiety.
All great points! I lost 4 pounds the first month I had daphne bc I was walking so much 😂😂well I’m glad you only had one of two dogs with the separation problem. I’ll be uploading how we’re still (8months in) about 80% there with the separation. It takes so much patience and time! No kiddingggg. Thanks for watching and pls subscribe if you haven’t already! Love hearing stories
Lovely, thank you. As a Newbie greyhound rescue Mom , this was really helpful x
I just got a greyhound last weekend, the first dog I have owned and the first one for my husband and me. Afternoons are much easier for our dog, so far, but overnights and mornings are tricky. Our dog can basically sleep on his own in our room (in his crate), but he usually has to get out at least once during the night to pee. He is only two years old, and didn't have any racing history tied to him, so the belief is that he didn't actually ever race.
Great vid. LOVE my greyhound.
This was great! Thanks for putting this out there. I’m in the process of adopting a retired racer and it all feels a bit top-heavy; hearing what it’s been like for someone who recently adopted a greyhound through a similar process and has some experience to share in what comes after your dog is home is really helpful for me.
Do you have an update? Did you end up getting your racer? :)
Thanks soo much for this video. Daphne is a gorgeous brindle girl! I just adopted my Korie 10 days ago... in Florida, he's 23 mos and raced 4 months. I have all of his records, everything is good except those hookworms. I'm searching a greyhound specific vet, in my area to take care of it.
Such a good video! I’ll definitely listen to this as I am kinda interested in Greyhounds!
My late vet used his nose a lot during exams, including stool and the cotton used to wipe out the pet's ears. Your nose is an excellent diagnostic tool if you know what you're smelling.
Oh- this was absolutely refreshing!
Informative and realistic.
She is beautiful lying on the couch!
I love your energy. Very loving.
Will watch more of your stories!
God is good!🌷🐾🧚♀️
I have horses..they are my best friends, but they dont sleep in my bed
Oh my goodness! She looks like my greyhound Rainy! We adopted Rainy in March and she is a joy and a love and so sweet. I hope you and beautiful Daphne have many many years together.
Wow! Would love to see more pics of Rainy - I also got Daphne in March 🥰 if you are on Instagram pls follow us so we can adore Rainy’s photos
It's a beautiful dog.
I found this video very informative. Tons of great info in this video.
Thanks for the advice, I love greyhounds, the most placid sweetest dogs.
You have a lovely hybrid Australian soft U S accent, nice to listen to.
I’m Spanish, live in Sydney Australia.
God bless
thank you! yes I guess my Aussie accent isn't as strong as it used to be :( but glad it still comes through!
Looks like we both got our greyhounds (ours, Pippin!) around the same time! Crazy how different they all are, I've just stuck my 7 month update up - He's like a completely different (person?!) now!
Hi Daphne! Hope you're loving retirement!
Thank you! They are so different! My friends notice it more as they only see her once in a while but they said she used to be like a robot and now she is just so fun and playful. The affection just grows everyday
Aw I love greys! Xx
Love your channel and keep pumping out those videos. I don’t have a greyhound. I have another breed. Yes, the learning curve on that first dog is huge. However if you’ve done your research before you got the dog, it would’ve helped a lot. Some of your 10 points are greyhound specific and are interesting to me since some day I may want to adopt one myself. But other ones are very general and can be applied to other dogs. Anyway, my one observation/comment…my suggestion is to stay away from dog parks/runs. My first dog was attacked by another and it forever changed my dog’s personality. I’ve also heard so many stories from other dog owners about incidents at the dog park too. Remember this saying…you can have the most well behaved/trained dog but at the end of the day, you don’t know and can’t control other people’s dogs.
Thank you so much!!!
There is a product available in the farm and feed stores called Corona. It is an oily greasy thick goop that can be put on your dog's Paws and then they can wear boots for an outing now and then just so they get that conditioning treatment. It is antibacterial and skin conditioning good for a host of things. There is also something called nfz Puffer that can be puffed into their ears to rid off ear infections and earbugs and such ( it's a very fine powder it may also have antifungal Properties or medication in it as well because I used it on a dog's yeasty ear.
I’m planning to get a rescue greyhound she is 7 years old and slowing down a bit we will mainly be keeping her on a lead on walks but we have a pretty big garden she can run around on and she is very used to humans and such a loving, affectionate and sweet girl
Greyhounds LOVE their owners and hate cold temperatures so I would not recommend keeping her outside :(
On my 4th Greyhound, Greyt Job, great Mom
Non of my foster dogs ever slept in my bed. One of them was persistent for over a year but he learned in the end. It's so hard to say no to them so well done for being so persistent! It's just for their best
Useful information. Thank you.☺
We adopted Butterscotch (a 6 mo old Greyhound at the time she's almost 1 and 1/2 now) from the pound. We backed into these issues blind as well.
We adopted our former racing greyhound 4 years ago, from West Virginia, he is now 8, and we so tried to sleep train him, nope, he totally hated it, he's a snuggly one. Oh the vet bills can get up there. Our boy tripped off a neighbor's porch, ripped his dewclaw almost off...bye bye $300 bucks.😢 They are delicate, and sometimes big goofy clumsy derps, but totally worth it.💕 💕
Aw poor baby! Well an emergency vet bill in NYC is in the thousands...so Daphne is not going to be slipping off any porch! Wishing our greys long happy lives 😍
My first one I nicknamed carecredit grey- she either tore a nail- lost 2 toes in retirement- too funny-but yes your vet can be a new dependent- lol
Oh I didn't know that me setting boundaries also helped with separation anxiety :D It is very good at the beginning to set a bunch of "no go" zones for your dog to create the leader position. And oh boy, the medical bills... we don't have many shots that are compulsory, but my rescue was just sick EVERY MONTH. Most of the shelter dogs, even puppies have a bad stomach, because they never had proper nutrition growing up, therefore they are super sensitive for stomach and other diseases.
Thank you for your comment! Yes we went for her shots, then we went for her CCL issue...and once for an abrasion from playing too hard. But we’re on the decline of vet visits now!
Yep. Any rescue dog or bought dog will bring big vet bills, not just greys.
When I first got my greyhound I was told to go somewhere everyday- even if it was to the mailbox
this was very helpful thanks!
Excellent comment about the ACL issue. Have not heard that one talked about in other videos I have seen so far. Also the drug resistant whipworm issue. That is another I have not heard of. Well done. I also agree with you about the bed issue. There is an old saying, 'start off as you mean to go on'. What happens if you are a single person who then gains a human partner. He/She vs dog. No one wins that battle. Better to have the dog be used to their own bed.
Thank you! That’s right, I don’t want to end up about to fall off the bed with my greyhound taking over!
The whip worm is a big issue if u have a big yard that took years & lots $$$ to create. It’s transmittable to ppl. Also, avoid dog parks as they are packed w/ diseases, if u are in West Coast US.
@@l.e.6263 It is important to have good sanitation practices. My neighbor has a large puppy/dog, and they do not pick up the dog waste. They must not realize that that dog is walking though that poop, and bringing it to their house. Also, that their little daughter is possibly walking through it also. They will probably be getting a visit from the city if I have to smell that stuff out there this summer. Both roundworms and whipworms can be picked up by people and cause issues. The term 'creeping crud' is the common name of visceral larva migrans - which children being infected with worm larva and it burrowing under the skin. Pick up the poop, people!
@@be6715 Agreed but Many do not pick up poo; also cannot pick up runny diarrhea. Even IF pick up poo must sanitize spot with ammonia immediately to kill resistant hookworms, parasite microbes & who does THAT in dog park? Concrete can be sanitized but lawn will die. I know good dog owners whose pooches were infected by using dog parks, as many owners do NOT quarantine sick dog @ home, & train dog to poo in park/another’s yard instead of own yard. Internal parasites vet bills in most big cities costs thousands .I replaced my lawn for my grey after she was free from all parasites, walked her in trails, not dog parks. Greys get chased by big dogs too.
Thanks for this video. I was going to go look at a greyhound for adoption this Saturday, but after watching this, I'm cancelling that appointment. This is way too much work, and yes, lot of money too. I have 2 beautiful human boys, so that'll do me for this lifetime😁
it's definitely a learning curve and more work in the beginning - but I would say dogs in general are a major commitment and greyhounds are on the very low maintenance end of the dog spectrum. Glad that you're making the decision that is right for you though! Maybe when your boys are older :)
May Gd bless YOU! And may He make his face to shine upon YOU.
This is really informative. I think I would like a puppy.
Oil of Oregano is safe for dogs and an extremely POWERFUL Anti-Parasitic, great for skin and wound healing and great to repel fleas, ticks and mites. Thank you for creating this video. Currently doing research to get a greyhound next year. I am a super calm person by nature and all the dogs I've had were super high energy. It was exhausting.
Thank you! Oil of oregano...writing that down. So glad you’re doing research! I’m the same - I didn’t want a crazy high energy dog and living in a NYC apartment had its restrictions too. I talk about this in my Best Apartment Dogs video too!
The Other Jenny Lee The Other Jenny Lee Hi Jenny.
You're so close to me.
I'm in Hoboken NJ right across the river. I couldn't open the rest of comment to finish reading it. Daphne is so beautiful. I hope things have gotten better. I will follow your IG. I'll be reaching out to you again for help on where I should look to adopt one by 2021. I'm going to wait until this pandemic 2nd wave dies down a little.
I just wanted to add that it is very important that oregano oil is diluted before use as it is very strong (like original poster said). It can cause chemical burns if used undiluted. Some oregano oils are pre-diluted so just make sure to check the ingredients. It is a great thing to have around though for both doggies and people.
I just adopted a greyhound and this video was very helpful! My little man is named Samson, wish us luck!
Congratulations- as you may be aware they are becoming almost impossible to get in the US since there are only two race tracks left in the country. Greyhounds are special dogs- retired racers even more so... I wish you lots of good luck- But baby you hit the jackpot already!
I love how lazy she is
We are adopting our first racing Greyhound 2/6. I’ve been watching a lot of TH-cam videos and yours have been the best in my opinion!!!
Lisa you’re the sweetest!!! Thank you so much. That is coming up so soon! I wish you all the best and so excited for you. More content will be uploaded once I get myself together haha we also have an Instagram where i upload too many photos and videos of daphne @daphne_de_dogue if you want to follow us and also share photos of your new fur baby ❤️
Thanks Jenny, and I’m looking forward to your new content!! I’m already following your Instagram.😀 😀 Can’t wait to share pics of our new Girl. ❤️
No judgement but I’m wondering if a greyhound was a good first dog to have? Patience is the most important with a new greyhound. They are a lot like pups but a lot bigger.
Thanks for hanging with her.
Better than other types of rescue dogs you’ll find on the states I think
It might be dog by dog case. Mine doesn’t have separation anxiety and she sleeps with me. She also doesn’t take the whole bed (not a greyhound so a lot smaller too). Plus my bed is a foam bed and on the ground, so the dog doesn’t move around if she or I move.
She's so cute
I have 2 greyhounds so they keep each other company when theres no one home.
I tried so hard to not let my dog (a lurcher) sleep on my bed. Still every time I come home I hear a thud thud from upstairs as she jumps off the bed lol. At least she knows she isn’t allowed but still does it when I’m not there!
The whipped that I dog sit a lot has always bloody ear tips partly from constant nervous shaking & party from his paper skin. The owner has tried a lot, but the best thing was just putting plaster on it. (Make sure your dog is not allergic to plasters) it has actually healed Up now
Best thing against separation anxiety is to get a second dog. Especially Greyhounds were used to live in a pack. I have a Whippet and with my other dog he can stay `alone` for hours. ;)
Oh Kasha...If only I could afford two in NYC Manhattan! Everything is about 5 times more expensive here...Most buildings also have restrictions on the number of dogs you can get :( Jealous you have double the love ❤️
Ur right greyhounds love company but never get a second dog to fix your dogs separation anxiety bc first of all bc u have to care for that second dog as well as u do for ur first dog and that takes up double the time and effort. Second of all theres like a 50/50 chance that it helps with separation anxiety. It can also happen that they hype each other up and then bark and whine together and it makes it even harder to cure that separation anxiety
@@zoeflorence absolutely. There is no 100% guarantee it’ll actually stop or resolve the separation anxiety! Thank you for your comment.
Ex racers are used to being around greys- it was their only comfort. But if u cannot afford another dog- DO NOT get one. Separation anxiety can be trained out via modern toys, dog sitters, dog day care ( NYC has few great ones), your time providing interaction & training. More u put in, greater reward by learning your rules. She just came from hell, u gave her time she needed to come out of PTS. Give her time to learn your world. She looks comfy on your sofa, like she belongs there.👍
Your dog is beautiful. The question is did you pick out the dog to match the sofa or the sofa to match the dog. haha. That could be in a magazine.
Haha 😆 definitely the sofa to match her! It hides the fur...
Quite literally a grey hound x
aw I want one so bad
Hi can I ask what is your dogs odour/smell like?
I adopted a florida grey on october 1st of this year. After a month and a few days of owning her, we were off to the vet with some pretty bad tummy issues. Hookworm, to be exact. Is there any way I could hopefully get in contact with you and get a brain dump on what you've learned on the florida hookworm issue? Thank you very much, in advance.
Have a look at the article in the description - that’s really what I’m doing with her. Panacur, pyrantel, and advantage multi plus! Also feel free to follow on Instagram and we can message there
Not to take away from anything said or noted in this video, but NOT only Florida kennels have this problem.
Only thing I disagree is rescue- I’ve adopted 3- one was a Grade B at Naples and she didn’t want to race- second one hurt her back toe- trainer loved her -didn’t want her to go to a cheaper track- my new one was an avg racer and didn’t want her to get lost in shuffle-all happy-safe-retired- yes there are bad people-I’m not arguing that-but have to focus on good- ty for video
Focusing on the "good" people doesn't help expose the bad ones - and it is the dogs who suffer because of it. The term "retired" sounds nice but "rescued" is far closer to the truth ... either way, these gentle, loving dogs are all survivors of the racing industry.
@@shoegal7 your speaking from opinion and propaganda- I speaking from experience- it’s not excusing anyone-
@@bubontherun, really? How do you know what my involvement/experience is?
@@shoegal7 What is it?
@@bubontherun, let's just say it's up close and personal. I know what goes on.
Love to see the Americans talking abt greyhounds
Out of curiosity, what was the treatment for the drug resistant hookworm? I adopted my greyhound in South Aus, so not an issue, but I am curious!
just recently uploaded a video on how we finally got over hookworm!
My 5 grayhounds want to go out more threw nite than the day I'm like a owl now lol
@Sweet Rebel I'm pleased summers over with now just for my dogs
Daphne is beautiful. I have a rescue grey from Florida, and I got really lucky with her. The Greyhound agency that I got her from had all of her racing records, immunization records, and she was on a very good medication regimen for worms. She does have a Achilles tendon injury, and her toes are a little messed up on that one foot as well. But besides that she’s completely healthy. I got super lucky because she is literally the sweetest dog ever, I got her separation anxiety under control within the first week. And she is now being off leash trained and is doing fantastic. Like you said every dog is completely different, also she doesn’t like to sleep in bed with me and she likes to be alone so completely different than Daphne LOL.
Which agency, if not to personal? I adopted from an agency in Palm Beach... they mailed me all the records/ vaccinations and NGA Bertillion certificate.
How is your girl coming along? What medications does she take? I'm about to begin the dreaded worm fight. Its great that you were able to work out anxiety in a week.
@@yes.shayewilson I got her from Greyhound pets Inc which is in Seattle. They took excellent care of her, also I think her owner took excellent care of her because she was a really good racer for many years so I got lucky. They had her on a regimen for worms of two oral medications and a back medication. My understanding is that it was kind of an old school regimen but she’s never really had any issues. She just finished her last dose of that, and now we have a vet visit scheduled for next week because she’ll have to be on advantage multi for the rest of her life for worms. They never diagnosed her with worms they just said that she’s probably prone to getting them because most of the dogs in Florida do if that makes sense...
@@kassiopeia8879 I see. I hear the advantage multi along with Drontal Plus are top protocol, your new vet will correct the issue.... if anything I'm sure .I scheduled an appointment next week also, we shall see. Hope all goes well for the both of them... and us.
I adopted a Lurcher rescued from Ireland. He was so insecure and timid, became super needy but three months later he plays, cuddles, runs full speed in pur garden. He still hates other dogs but we don't need to take him out for exercise so no problem. He's a thief and a joy to be with. He makes me laugh every day. I love him and he loves me.
Great video.. I personally believe the heartworm pill is a sham.. vets always try pushing it on me and a politely pass.. and dogs have been good and healthy
Are you Australian living in US or are you Australian who got a greyhound from FLA?
My first tip would have been, don't let your dog on your furniture. Apart from ruining the furniture it will effect how your dog sees you in the pecking order. We were lucky, my greyhound could be left 4 hours from day one. We were also lucky that my dog has always been happy sleeping on her own, but I would agree a dog should never share your bed. Poor owners think a dog shares the same logic as we do, THEY DON'T.
How do you transport your dog, to vet visits etc, while being in nyc?
Very good question Matt - I just pick a vet that is within a 20min walk. If I must travel w her it’s with an Uber/Lyft and I call ahead to ask if it’s ok with the driver to have a dog. Surprisingly I’ve never been rejected! I tip extra. This is one of the inconveniences of having a large dog in the city. There’s also a pet ambulance service called Ambuvet but I’ve never and hopefully never have to call it
In my state don't require heart worm
Resistant hookworm is in all USA & Mexico (Caliente track) racing greys due to lack of vet care, breeding sick dogs for YRS in horrid conditions. Some Show grey dogs have it too likely from cross breeding. Same Hookworms spread to Schnauzers per AKC, cause unknown. NO CUREI !! Known Treatment is long & tough for grey to endure & often fails. It’s very serious cuz worms affect ppl & all your yards; while grey suffers from dandruff skin, brittle hair, GI tract problems, lethargy, vomiting, etc, lots of testing & bills. Charities do not want public to know these serious medical issues caused by racing industry.
Massages & swim therapy aids the joints & ligaments. Greys paws have same bone structure of human hand- complex & prone to injury. Paw Skin can be thickened w/ products - ask vet. Short walk in smooth concrete helps. Nails must be clipped short. Once u have a regiment, it’ll get easier. At least u take your grey to the vet- many do not & let the grey die slowly. You’ll be rewarded for all u do for her by her unending love, & truly heartbroken when she passes.
thank you for these helpful insights! We did get over hookworm - with a lot of research a patience. I just recently uploaded a hookworm video :)
mooi hondje hoor
I thought you were in London. Your accent sounded British to me.
seperation anxiety is bollocks , its a dog they dont need to be with us 24-7, its just tough shit, i go to work everyday my dog stays home, they will get used to it.
What do you do for potty breaks if you have a long day away from home? Do you crate her when you leave?
Hi Jeff! Thanks for watching 🙏 I make sure I walk her before I leave. I’ve never left her more than 4.5 hours however in the daytime (due to Covid now I WFH) and she sleeps after dinner around 8.30pm and doesn’t wake up until 7-7.30am! Oh and I don’t crate her Bc she HATED her crate and drastically reduced whining after I let her roam freely in the apartment. Note that my apartment is 640Sf (NYC life). Sorry this doesn’t help much but I know for a fact greyhounds (most) can hold their pee for 8hrs and lots of owners I know leave them at home while they’re away working
@@TheOtherJennyLee that’s helpful. Thank you for responding.
@RickySterling: no need to crate grey; cruel since spent lives in tiny cages.See ex racer Magnus life in UK uploaded here & all creative options his owners gave him instead of crating.Mine avoided anything that resembled cage.
Nothing wrong with treats on the bed in the morning
hallo
Can a cat keep the dog company? She might not always be there ’cause my cat is very quiet and sleeps alot but could that keep the dog company the 6 hours that I’m gone? 😬
Hi! It depends on whether the greyhound is cat friendly. My daphne is not! She wants to attack any cat she sees... so a cat is not an option in some situations.
@@TheOtherJennyLee Hi Jenny, in your experience are greyhounds cat friendly? We’ve had our cat for 12 years and it’s important that we get a dog that can get along with her. Thanks for these videos!
@@Emwest84 hi 🙋🏻♀️ it depends on the dog. The adoption agency should and will likely do a cat safe test and I know some greyhound’s are fine and some like mine are not. Good luck!
Are you an Aussie?
Yes you heard me right!
@@TheOtherJennyLee One Aussie can always spot another. :)
If you never had a dog you can't replace real experience with book or friends or experts advice because you need to build your own experience, that said I do not agree with your separation analysis, your dog sees you as his pack leader if you insist on separation then he will be less bonded to you
Link?
Why should anybody take advice on owning a dog from someone who has only ever had a dog for 7 months?
75 percent of dog owners sleep in bed with their dogs! 😂. A lot of people don’t like to admit it!
I 'sleep' in the narrow sofa bed with my friend's three wind hounds. One on my neck, one stretched along my side and a saluki between my legs. And I'm allergic to dogs and asthmatic. Can't help love.
Good on you for rescuing a greyhound. ❤️Such a grubby industry. 😡
thank you!
Very risky to allow a new rescue dog into bed. You just don't know the animal well enough
I've heard that one shouldn't take a greyhound to the dog park because they are thin skinned and if they are attacked by another dog, it could have very bad consequences.
I made the mistake of getting a border collie - it wasn't the right breed for me - but a dog is for life and there's nothing I can do about it. I love them of course, but my dog and her 2 puppies are not good for my depression/BPD/fibromyalgia and I feel like from research I've done/am doing - a greyhound or Italian Greyhound would better suit my lifestyle/needs. I can dream.
I wanted to listen but the stupid music. had to turn off
Great information. Very annoying background music!
