Hi all, after a bit of advice and reassurance please.
We have had our retired greyhound Timmy since October (our second grey, we lost our first girl Misty in June) and so far he has seemed to settle in really great, he has a gentle nature and has been very well behaved and generally a typical greyhound - loves food, fine with walks, loves sleep!
On a couple of occasions he has growled in his sleep but never at us or another dog. Then suddenly this week he has growled at a dog on his walk and then when on the sofa with my partner a couple of nights ago he has growled at him. Tonight he was on the sofa and I’ve stroked him (he was 100% awake) then went to kiss his head and he has growled and snapped at me! It’s really shook me up because it’s not the lovely gentle boy I’ve started to fall in love with!
I made him get off the sofa and in to his own bed and gave him a stern shouting too. He looked suitably ashamed! But I’m now anxious about what we do next. Anyone else experienced this? Is he just pushing boundaries now he’s 6 months in to our home? Any advice would be massively appreciated x
