About Greyhounds

It’s true … some greyhounds and other dogs eat not only other dogs’ (or other animals’) poop, but some eat their own poop, too. Catch this episode to discover why a greyhound may be exhibiting this behavior, what poop eating may be telling you about your greyhound’s health, and potential dangers that may lurk in the turds your greyhound ingests.

“Nothing in Life is Free” is a behavior philosophy that can be an effective way to convince your greyhound that you’re worth paying attention to. It helps him or her to realize that you have a wide variety of things that your dog wants––and a good. specific behavior is what it takes to get those things. It’s not a training method; it is a way of structuring your life with your greyhound to make your role as a leader more obvious to your dog.
