Our grey came from Iowa Park track and spent most of his time there and at the end of his career had a race at Southland and few more at Wheeling.

Hes only 2.5 years old and adopted him a couple months ago. Any ideas if they use the same commands or if they did? I can’t get him to jump up into the car for anything. 
 

He also doesn’t know how to sit, lie down, stay, and heel. He does seem to know leave it because we use that to not get into certain things and not try to eat our cat. 
 

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Are you trying to get him to jump on to the back seat or in to the boot/trunk? I can get both my greyhounds to jump into the boot/trunk by leading with the lead but the back seat is a no go as there isn't enough of a landing area and a smaller door aperture.

You need a lot of time and patience to teach a greyhound and just when you give up they get it   Keep the training sessions short so they think it's fun and don't get bored. A lot of greyhounds find it impossible to sit so perhaps cross that of the list.

Every time he's showing signs of laying down tell him to and when he's down give him a "Good boy" and a treat. There is another method of enticing him under your legs with a tasty morsel. Have a look on YouTube.

Since he is male, he would have been assigned a bottom crate (ground level flat  ) and may have never been asked to jump up.  Once he is in the car, does he enjoy the ride?  Is it a matter of training him how to jump into a small space, or is the whole experience not fun for him?
