  1. Hello again! We have had our racer over 2 weeks now, and are experiencing some difficulties sleeping. Our hound sleeps in the bedrooms with us with his crate open (he chewed through it one of the first days we got him) and with his dog bed by our heads. At about midnight, he barks once while hes standing up (for the life of me, i cant figure out what hes barking at). We sometimes ignore it and sometimes say stop. From then on he paces, stands up, moves around which wakes us up about once an hour. We are going to introduce a bed time snack to see if that helps. We have the blinds halfway open right now because he typically wrestled with them to try and see during his waking, and we hate the noise. This problem isnt new, but its definitely wearing on us. If you have any suggestions we would love to hear them.
  2. Thank you all for your responses! We will continue to use treats to reward the behavior we want, like getting up. It’s nice to know this is something that happens with other greyhounds too.
  3. Hi all, My husband and I just adopted a 4 year old racer 4 days ago. Our racer is amazing. Hes sweet and hes been a dream to house train so far. In the past few days however hes started refusing to move from when he is lying down. It happens when we are trying to take him out and its happened when trying to move him to our bedroom to sleep. We arent sure what to do! Weve used excited voices, toys, and treats so far. Treats have worked the best but Im afraid we are reinforcing the behavior when we give him treats. Any ideas or thoughts? He sees the vet on saturday so if there is an underlying physical concern, we will know then! Any ideas or tricks would be helpful!
