today i have fallen deeply in love with this little imp...he is the most affectionate little man and loves nothing better than to snuggle up to you and be petted....he is very pretty and dainty for a boy and utterly gorgeous...he is a small version of my little man Rossi and i could easily have snatched him up and taken him home...he will make a great pet as he is such a sweetheart and walks beautifully on the lead. My friend's 12 yr old daughter who came with me to day adored him and spent all afternoon with him...he would be great for someone of that age group...xxxx

Sid was kenneled with Mary at daybreaks... Although she told him off which is how he ended up with stitches!! He is a lot more confident on walks with other greys around him! Xxx

Hi Phoebe. Sometimes the greys can be really shut down when they arrive in a home environment so I do agree with what Tash is saying about making it exciting and happy and being a confident pack leader for your lovely Sid and basically just keep at it and go for it. Also not sure if you can (you may do this already...) vary the places you walk him to keep it interesting? Our 2 girls really love going to new places with lots of interesting and different smells etc - basically lots to stimulate them. They especially love woods and places to have a good poke about - and we do keep ours on the lead always. Just as an example....I took them to Brueton Park in Solihull last night (we hadn't been for a while) and it was like the first time all over again and even my quiet one (Lola) was full of herself. Keep at it - it's still very early days. Maybe you could bring him to the next Sutton Park walk as that would be a great place to meet other greys and their owners and you can walk alongside other greyhounds and see if that makes a difference to him? xxx

I personally would be very matter of fact with him and just go for it! It's trying to make going for a walk a fun and exciting experience, if you are worried and tense he'll pick that up from you and associate the "tense" feelings with going for a walk. If he's started being reluctant in the house, then I'd change where you put his lead on, so maybe let him in the garden first for a mooch, call him over, put his lead on and in a happy voice say something like "Come on then, off we go" and just walk off with him in a confident manner (dogs need a confident leader, if you are wary or unsure around him then it will make him worry about his place in the pack) On the walk I'd take some treats and every so often praise him, building the association that walks are nothing to worry about...I'm out with my confident pack leader, I get to use up my nervous energy, I get to smell/see interesting things and I get tasty treats, I love walks! Hope this helps, he needs to get out for walks, for him and for you, it builds the bond between you...and don't be fooled by the sad look, he just might be a deep thinker! Good luck, enjoy each other xxxx
