Thank You so much for your guidance , we would definitely be interested in meeting up with other hounds eventually and going do walks , will have to look and see when the next one is 😊 X everyone will do something different luckily he hasn't froze in the road yet but trying to pick up 33kg is no an option . That's interesting to know , like you say it will be good to speak to other owners who understand . Some people are so ignorant and just don't understand. Thank you for your advice xx

Thank You so much for your guidance ita really appreciated definetly lots of love affection and reassurance . We open our windows so he can hear the traffic it doesn't bother him so much unless their is a motorbike going by . Like you say just trying to get out to go to the toilet and come back home X we will get there 😊

Hello looking for a little bit of guidance 😊 we adopted our lovely boy from the Greyhound Trust however have noticed that when on walks he freezes and goes into statue mode particularly if their is car lights in his direction . Other times he may freeze without warning even if we are in a quieter area . We live in a flat and are also trying to train him on the stairs , he responds well to having meat on each step going up but now I think he has got used to this and won't move at all if no treat is given . Going downstairs we will freeze and refuse to move . With both the stairs and freezing on walks we give him lots of praise and encouragement , using high value treats , giving reassurance and allowing him time to process his surroundings . It's like his feet are glued to the floor . I have also tried to change the direction on walks or gently break into a trot but his feet remain firm to the ground . Is their anything I can do to support my beautiful boy . Due to living in a flat unfortunately we don't have the luxury of a garden so have to ideally take him out for number 1 and 2s .any help or support would be really appreciated, he's such a gentle loving soul but unsure on how we can further support him . I completely understand things will take time and greyhounds are used to more rural areas .
