GREYHOUND’s first time off lead in woods. Did she come back? Did she catch a squirrel? 

I’m glad she’s wearing a coat, I understand greyhound skin is very thin. Her joy is palpable.

What an amazing enriching life she leads and she pranced like a deer and is soo soo good!

She had a wonderful day. Pls let us know if she dreams about it later when she sleeps. 💜

the right person for the right dog!

I love that you allow your greyhound to experience the joy of freedom. I'm sure there are ppl who had a hissy fit, but done carefully in a secure area it's worth it. Love watching your escapades.

So many interesting smells for her. Sweet girl...I don't think you need to worry about her returning to you. She's well bonded...it's love.

A magical day, for our girl!🎉❤

Im a firm believer in breed specific activities for dogs as well.They are much happier that way!

My dog chased everything when he he was younger. He's heading toward 18 yrs old now & mostly likes to nap. In summer he likes to nap on the porch, wait for treats, or wait for mealtime & that's it. 😄😊❤✌✌

Such a happy, happy hound. You have done such a great job getting her to bond with you.

Totally in hunting mode

Ned, our Jack Russell never used to listen to us when he was on the hunt for rabbits. We had extra tags on him that jingled so we could hear where he was running. Just like Fairy he would come back eventually, in fact I think Fairy is very well behaved. You are going to be extra fit with her around and at least you don’t have to bring home flea bitten rabbits that the dog won’t let go of🤣🤣. Love the woods in the UK, we don’t have those sort of hedged and fenced woods here in Australia. Our current Jack Russell cross Molly liked Fairy’s squeaky toy and went and looked for hers after hearing Fairy squeaking.

that's the life🤩👍

what a sweet happy girl in the woods running

I really loved the footage with the go pro, great seeing what Fairy sees. Fairy had a fun time 😊

I particularly like that you didn't drown out all the nature, and he, sounds. Looks like was having a blast.

This was a marvelous outing for Fairy and for us who can join you in the park virtually.

❤❤Fairy ❤❤

Fairy have a wonderful time! Love the nature friendly hedges in the woods. What a beautiful place. Thank you for bringing me on the walk. More please!

So lovely to see Fairy running free in the woods, she's absolutely adorable and living her best life too. Such a good girl.

The pink Snuggie and the ears! 😂💖💖😂

It really is true what you said..dogs being dogs..my lurcher was not great on recall...he only caught one 🐿 in all his 9 years..it was like he had won the lottery...the 🐿 did bite his lip but it did not deter him...he carried it round for hours! 😮 Fairy is adorable ❤❤

Wonderful! The speed she's making looks so cool on the gopro, amazing to see

Running, chasing & Sniffing :-) She’s the Happiest Girl . And she totally trusts you :-) Absolutely lovely to see. Yes I wish all dogs could run free.

Beautiful. We had a black grey for 3.5 years. An ex racer and a breeder. We got her as a senior. Lost her a year ago, but treasure the memories.

What a wonderful hound!!!

That was fun. Thank you. 👍👍❤️

I loved to see her jumping, dodging and having a great time. I know she slept well when sho got home😍

Where I live, there are lots of wonderful (and large!) fenced dog parks. My greyhound and I go every morning and she gets some wonderful runs in. I never get tired of watching her being a dog. Good for Fairy!

So sweet for her to run free and so deserved. You’re such a good Mum! Like mine they get sidetracked!😂 Time to show her stuff🐿️🐿️ Lve that sweet baby!❤️😎💫💫🐿️

Don't know how or why ya'll showed up on my feed but hot-damn, I'm enjoying the hell out of your videos!!!I It's such a joy watching how much fun Fairy and you are having exploring life together. Fairy is so well looked after and you can see just how happy she is just living life day to day! It brings a tear to my eye to see such a wonderful, living soul being so happy and comfortable in her life!! I'm sure she gives you just as much joy and happiness as you give her ! Just look at how happy she looks in all her videos! That is such a content and happy doggo! Bravo Team Fairy! BRAVO!

She is a lovely dog. The Fairy Cam is fascinating-you can really get an idea of how fast she is.

I think Fairy preferred Squirrel to Chicken today !

I have a dog who gets very excited off leash too. And I’ve gotten very responsive recall because (I think) I only command her to return to me when it’s necessary. I use her name in recalling only when I really mean it. Otherwise I clap my hands. Two separate commands. Clapping means she only needs to check in, but not return and stop playing. She’s learned the difference. If I use her name, she comes immediately. Also, you may find a dog whistle helpful.

What fun to watch Fairy on her Great Squirrel Hunt! What do you think she'd do if she actually caught one? Fairy:"Mmm, thanks for the chicken, mum, tastes just like squirrel. What does squirrel tast like? I think I recall reading somewhere that the ancient greyhounds hunted with another type of dog that actually went in for the kill after the grey had taken the prey down---or was it the human hunter who came to the kill at the end? Maybe both? My grey would chase my smaller dog & just run right over him when she caught him---he'd turn a couple of somersaults then take right off after her---running over her prey was her M.O. Makes sense that the grey wouldn't do battle with the animal, they've got no protection against teeth & claws w/ their short coats, thin skin, lack of fat. So glad to see Fairy being such a good girl that you can trust her off leash! As always, thanks for sharing!

Lovely video! It looked like Fairy and you had a fabulous time! Thanks for sharing! ☺️

Aww, pretty in pink (of COURSE fairies wear pink!). Such a JOY, to see her having so much fun. You're lucky she doesn't have long, thick fur - that'd be quite a cleaning job with my guy (long, triple-coat) - mud, burrs, etc. She sure crashes afterwards - ZONK! Nice & relaxing for the humans then, too. Very much enjoy your vids - THANKS for sharing your Fairy adventures with us! Cheers from Canada!

Thank you for such a lovely video you are both doing so well ❤

Those ears. Full hunt mode. It's wonderful seeing her in her true nature. Running. Observing. And awesome barks!

Wow 😮 that really looked like great fun. Thanks for sharing.

Love to Fairy from Taiwan ❤❤❤

Great exercise for both of you! ❤🇬🇧

Nothing to do with this particular video…… but I just saw all the Floods on the News in England! Ohhhhh blimey. I hope you are all ok. Thinking of you all, from here in America. Stay close to each other.

The bond you have with this lovely girl sparkles throughout the whole video. What a wonderful dog! And you are a wonderful dogmum! Loved this. Subscribed.

I believe that the Egyptians dogs may have been a distant breed relative, but modern greyhounds simply look similar to Egyptian breed. Either way, love her!😊

What a beautiful lady, so smart, intelligent, lovely greyhound!!

How is the picture so stable? I know it's strapped to her back but it looks as if it's independent of her movement. I love these videos?

i love how you say squirrel

Lovely to see this. Does she have a GPS tracker? If not it would give you much more peace of mind if she doesn’t return to you when you call her,

Great to see her progress. Thanks

She is having a ball! Love the Go-Pro footage ...

I really enjoy watching Fairy in her adventures. Your videos are exceptional and educational and joyful. Fairy is a wonderful dog. She has such a good life with you. (I am glad the squirrels could run up the trees to safety.)

What a wonderful place to let her have a good run. The GoPro footage was fun 🤩

Aww doggo got pooped out.

Exactly,this is all enrichment ,I had a greyhound and would take her to places where she could run and seek rabbits,not accessible for bikes or pushchairs

That was amazing to see Fairy living her dream. Chasing Squirrels and all the scents of nature. You give her the best life ever . Her recall is so good even though it's bribery with chicken but whatever works and it is early day's so yuy are doing s marvellous job. I wish other GH owners would realize, that even they can be trained to come back. Even better than some of the other Hunting breeds, like Spaniel's once they're focused on nesting Birds. They go deaf on you😆. Well done to you. 🖐️ 😍🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

once my dog is home after (unauthorised) hunting, he does not know what to do with himself and keeps running through the house. perhaps his paws are injured then. i always wash his paws after hunting and that seems to help a bit, but just 5% or so. once i tell him to lay on my bed he keeps kinda calm

Adorable - such a good girl. Love your videos - you’re doing a wonderful job with Fairy - she’s so lucky that you’re her mum! As a trainer, may I make a suggestion (I know that’s annoying). When giving commands, it’s often more effective to use more authority and confidence in your voice (lower range of your voice, avoiding your voice going up at the end of your command like a question mark). Think speaking with a period rather than a question mark. And not like you’re yelling at her either (no exclamation point unless you’re praising her or correcting her). Hope that makes sense. As the pack leader, using a more commanding, confident voice leads to more respect from your pack. Better to leave the high pitched vocals for praise, where it’s a very effective tool.

14:25 awwww

Does the Go-Pro have some kind of built-in stabilization system or does Fairy's torso remain that "un-bumpy" as she runs? Amazing footage. Enjoy your videos. Thanks

💕💙👍🐾💙💕👍🐾How does Fairy do with toy breeds?

I always enjoy seeing dogs having fun. Do consider, though, that if she got on something other than a squirrel (like a deer, for example), she might chase it for quite a long distance, and she might even CATCH IT, and bite and kill it. Here in New England, US, we have to worry about porcupines. They will actually try to motivate a dog to "bite them," and get a face full of quills for the trouble. On youtube there are now many videos of US hunters using "lurchers" to catch and kill coyotes -- not very pleasant to watch.

I would love to let my grey off the lead but his recall isn't great despite my training. When we last used an enclosed field, he ran about so fast that he hurt himself and had to have a toe removed. He's just too unpredictable unfortunately.

Are there any tricks used for recall should she see/ chase a rabbit or other small animals.
