Fire
Over the Rainbow Bridge
the very first thing Fire did when he came into the run for his cool down bath was grabbing the top of the shampoo bottle which is sort of shaped like a bone...he is just the loveliest boy and he did give me the top back ever so nicely when asked....loved his bath and then cooled me down by shaking himself all over me 🙂 xxx

Marnie is just so sweet, she was so hot today at the kennels and we gave her a nice cool bath and then she lay in front of the large fan to try and keep cool, such a gentle little girl. xxx

Had a beautiful walk today - what a fabulous lad Bailey is, so good on the lead and a joy to walk. Here's hoping he finds a home very soon - he certainly deserves it. x

I seem to remember the 2 blue and white sisters Layla & Lily who came from the same organisation. At least one of them looked very similar to Luna I think. Wonder if they will turn out to be related? I hope this beautiful girl gets her forever home as soon as possible. xxx

NO,no Julie it wasn't taken as critiscism, all you say is really helpful and adds to our understanding. Marty is our 4th rescue grey and we were probably a bit too complacent as we had coped with any problems the others had had, but Marty, or Smartz as I often call him, has different issues. I'm off to the library to look for that book you reccommended. Thanks also for the info on hot weather problems. xxxx

Wow what a lovely pair! They look they have very similar markings. You just can't believe someone could do just a thing to any animal but especially one as beautiful and innocent as this! They will both find lovely homes I'm sure xxx

Marty (Arty)
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Hiya Foggie Sorry if it sounded like I was criticising you- I know you are doing the very best you can for Marty and Misty 🙂 . You're not alone in thinking that your grey is very confident and being 'purely' aggressive 🙁 That's why we are so passionate at training the greyhounds ourselves, like Kallie said 'normal' dog trainers have rarely tried to train a greyhound and those who have usually brand them 'stubborn' or 'thick' 🙁 we don't find them either - if they appear stubborn it's usually because you have overloaded them and they can't think any more and they are definitely not thick - BUT you do have to train them slightly differently to 'real' dogs LOL. Also if the trainer or owner misreads a greyhounds aggression and does not realise how frightened the dog is they would probably scare it even more with their training 🙁 I do a starter class now from 9am so if you can fit that in you'd be very welcome - even if you can come for 30 mins it would help you, Marty and Misty - we're at the Hall next Saturday 2nd June and the 9th June if that helps. Best wishes Julie x

Thanks for the comments and advice, we will follow up on your ideas. I knew about Julie's training sessions but couldn't make then as we have other regular committments when they are on. I hadn't realised that Marty's reactions were due to fear as he seemed so confident right from the start but now we understand that the problem with the other dog had been escalating every time we took him out. We have never wanted to dominate any of our dogs, we understand the importance of trust between them and us but we do realise now that we were misreading the signs from Marty so hopefully we can learn to be better tuned in and make a good partnership with our greys. xxxx
