Thanks greym and mychip for the info

Brilliant that will be a huge help

Thanks and definitely what I do mainly but he falls asleep lying on top of me on the couch so it can be anything from making a cup of tea, needing a pee from said cup of tea or heading off to bed that will wake him.

Hi all, I recently got a fantastic new 2 year old greyhound. I would never have realised I was such a dog person but I absolutely adore him. In the evening he loves nothing more than lying on my lap and cuddling into me. When he sleeps he has his muscle twitch racing dreams and I recently read about startle reflex where the animal can bite if they are woken suddenly from a sleep like that and to be honest it freaks me out a little bit. Does any one have any thoughts? Second question I would love a really good training reference online/book as I know nothing about dogs and I’d love to begin a little train regime with him as much for the bonding experience as for anything else. All tips to a complete novice would be really appreciated. Thank you.
