I've been fostering a almost 3 year old greyhound for 8 months. My group hoped that living in a calm home with confident greys would help his "shyness". It took about a week for him to come around to me, accepting treats from my hand. We walked on leash in my fenced back yard for 3 weeks before he felt safe enough to do his business on his own. New people in the house scare him, but if they throw treats to him he will finally take a treat from hand but not allow pets. Biggest issue is going on walks. It's a no go. Same time, early a.m., with a pal, just with me, luring with treats. So question is, do I just stop the walks after trying for 8 months. He is certainly being a hard one to place, and not going for walks limits who would be appropriate for him. Such a good and biddable hound otherwise. Thanks for any advise.
