You can train him to walk nicely, but the prey drive might not get down to the point where he will not lunge forward. I have taught a foster that was pulling all through the walk to walk at the heel in a month, but the lunging still persisted if he saw something. With mine, they don't lunge anymore, but they still pull after 4 years with me if a squirrel come our way. Your safety (and his) are essentials. If you can, try to tire him before your walks (good long play sessions in the yard) but I agree with Ducky, speak to your group and see what's what. Carry treats with you in the meantime so he stays focus on you and not on every leaf blowing in the wind. Teach him a signal (Look, or any other cue) so he learns that when you say the word, you give him a treat. Try to get a no pull harness (for him) and a hip belt (for you). Keep the lead short so he doesn't have as much inertia. It can get better, or not. But your safety should be the priority. You don't want to get hurt. Keep safe

Greyhound actually have ticker fur, and let me tell you, fur doesn't protect anything! It is not a husky! I think with both breeds you can get lucky or unlucky regarding vet visits and such. Especially considering you have absolutely NO idea what a galgo has been through. A grey you might have some medical background on him. They are NOT rough and tumble play dogs, either greys or galgos. A nip can tear skin on either. That being said, I never had anything so bad that it required a vet visit (well except that one time ). You should meet both, you would really get a better feel of the breeds. Remember they have not been raised or bred for their temperament so there is greys and galgos that can fit almost any family. There are energetic greys like there are more mellow galgos. For a first time owner, considering the training and energy expenditure and all, I tend to recommend greyhounds. But there are a few families to whom I recommended a galgo instead. And it always depends on the family situation, how long the dog will be alone, running opportunities (park or fenced in yard), childrens, cats, man of the house, stairs, flooring....The list is long My galgo is fine now thank you

Usually the coat on galgos is shorter (mine is wired haired so longer!). My grey sheds more. As for tail banging and skin scrapes, my galgo has seen more than my grey since he has a longer tail and is more active. I have had more health issues with my galgo than with my grey (both 8 years old now). I have been once to the emergency vet with my grey because my galgo rammed into him while they were running. My galgo, well, lets just say he has seen many specialists and vets and had an operation and all that (unrelated to the running injury). I wouldn't say one is more fragile than the other really, in my experience. My galgo has had tears in his skin more often than my grey, again, they are more silly, so its bound to happen more Greys have a softer coat definitely. It feels like ...I don't know, there isn't a breed quite like it actually...softer than a boxer, a lot, like a husky but not as fluffy and short. Does that makes sense? They both follow me around the house. To each their days, my grey is more cuddly, but that doesn't mean anything, there is so much variation in between the breed. You have cuddly galgos like you have cuddly greys and you have some that don't like that in both breeds.

A dog will make you go out and exercise more. Whatever the breed. You have to be aware though that if you are a homebody and want to get exercise, you will exercise every day, in the rain or the snow, whether you are sick or not for multiple years. Personally, I do enjoy a good hike with my boys (yes grey can hike too ) during the week-end, but during the week I am happy they get enough of their walks and trips to the park

Hello, I currently have one grey (4 years in) and one galgo (3 years in). If you like to play and teach your dog stuffs, a galgo is for you. If you want a house plant, a grey is for you. I love them both, they just have different energy! My grey could spend days inside, just going out for his business. My galgo, I can go bike with him for miles. In my fairly limited experience, both are very thin skinned, both need coats and boots during the winter (in Canada at least ). My galgo can tolerate very high temperature, whilst my grey will be sleeping under the fan when the weather hits around 20 °C. Both tolerate the winter if well dressed. My galgo is super funny with a quirky personality. He did not needed stairs training, but needed a lots of other training (no jumping on people, no garbage emptying, no stomping on your brother) while my grey...well....Let's just say I never told him no . He did require a bit of stairs training. As for recall, both are a big zero. They know their name, they just ignore it! I am currently in a condo and both do fine. They are great apartment dogs. Be aware that both might have separation anxiety which they may express by howling if you are not there. You must be prepare to work on that if that is the case. My galgo has wired hairs. It is a bit like a long-haired jack russel. It is not very soft! But it is pretty. I do think greyhounds are much softer than galgos, but they shed more. Well...more is not that much, they are still both a short coat breed. Galgos can be more skittish, so they "might" be a bit more overwhelmed in a city environment. Then again, some, like mine, don't mind, you just need the right match All in all I would suggest you be VERY honest about the kind of living you have and what you expect out of a dog and TALK to both adoption agencies (grey and galgo). Say you want a dog that you can take running with you every other day, I'd say galgo. If you want a dog to watch TV with at night, I'd say grey. Both need exercise, but greys tend to necessitate less in my (again) very short experience.

10 gotcha day is amazing! You go both of you ♥️

Hahahaha Elizabeth Yes I am a fan of Harry Potter! And since Charlie is British, it suits him! And no, he does KNOT like having his picture taken. If you want him to look into the camera, you better have some cookies ready!

Can you walk in a loop? So instead of going back on her step she would only go "forward"! Don't worry, this is a common issue. Keep in mind that they change at 3 days, 3 weeks and 3 months. Don't push her right now she is still getting settled in. She will get the hang of life soon, she needs to build her trust. Good luck! Let us know how it goes!
