I was recommended a harness for Craig (Carraig) and it was the best thing I did. He now walks very well and only pulls occasionally. My other two pulled when I first had them but it was only due to curiosity of their new surroundings. Fingers crossed that you find a forever home soon. xxx Liz, Linz, Rachel, Lyonell, Dill and Carraig

Just wanted to clarify if you see dodgy posts from us on the comments, my 7 year old keeps putting them on when shes looking at the dogs and I only find them when I read the comments pages!! So sorry if they are complete nonsense x She loves reading and keeping up to date with the greys and was devastated when Reuben came back as she wanted to home him!

I had the pleasure of walking Stevie yesterday and I can assure you that he is perfect on the lead. He walked on a loose lead, right at my leg adjusting his pace to mine perfectly. The family that are lucky enough to get Stevie will be truly blessed.

Oh Dear, sounds like there was more going on for the family than they've confessed to, pulling is easily fixed (just ask Stef the dog-whisperer!). Our two walk best with their leads wrapped around in a harness-like fashion so they can feel the lead on their chest as well as neck, but I've had a spaniel and a terrier who both pulled loads more than our greys. Good luck Reuben, you're a handsome young lad and I'm sure you'll find a forever home soon...Laura and Craig?? x

Ruth I can't believe youv'e let a dog out that pulls! You also failed to inform me that Ben would block the Wii sensor causing absolute mayhem this xmas,but despite this we are going to keep him. Seriously though Reuben is a lovely dog who deserves a loving home and obviously was excited with his new scenery/walk,as my two are if we go somewhere they havent been before,im sure it would have settled down very quickly.Someone now has a great opportunity to have Reuben,but be quick as he's that handsome it won't be long before he "pulls"again!

i am gutted as i did his first home check and he was returned within a day, i have walked Reuben many times and i did not find him hard to walk at all so i am even more upset now that he was returned because nobody even wanted to try and give the harness a go. keep fingers crossed that it will be third time lucky for this truly lovely boy. biggest hug. PS LAURA WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR??? xxxx

Pulling on a lead is an easy issue to resolved but requires patience and repetition. I am a petite woman (barely making 5 feet tall, lol) with a big strong greyhound who pulls the lead when I first got him 3 years ago at Daybreaks. I was shown how to use his own lead around him to served like a harness to have a stronger grip on him and prevents him from dragging me. Through listening, reading and watching dog experts on tv advise on "pulling" issues, my greyhound Dennis is easy on the lead during our walkies now. It took me only a few weeks to correct this but I invested on time and repetition. Now I am walking 2 big greyhounds around our neighbourhood, parks, town centres, and almost everywhere. People I've passed by seems amazed how I can walk 2 dogs that are practically bigger than me, lol. Some even teased me that maybe I should put saddles on them...hehe. A little time and patience works wonders which everyone wanting to adopt a greyhound or any other pet should always think about and invest in. The rewards are truly satisfying. As for you Reuben, the right family will come someday. My other grey Floppy was returned three times before I met him. Enjoy the fuss at Daybreaks at the moment, you will get snagged in no time. 🙂 XXX
