How much walking does my greyhound need? 

My retired racer is more sensitive to heat than cold and lets me know she only wants to walk for 15 to 20 minutes during the summer. I have a large fenced area where she does her morning toileting and 'zoomies' if the mood strikes her. She is definitely livelier when it is cooler. She is smart and sweet, and the best dog ever!

We adopted a retired greyhound a few days ago. Your channel is super useful! Thank you. We have had a placid, friendly boy. We can't leave him in the garden yet for the sake of the local wildlife so goes out on the leash. It's a small garden too so you have reassured me it's not a cruel thing to do. Very reassuring!

We just got our greyhound 3 weeks ago. He's 2,5 years old and I take him out twice a day for an hour long walk each plus usually 3 5-10 minute bathroom breaks, as we don't have a garden. There is always lots of sniffing to ensure mental stimulation because we live in an apartment, even if he is never alone for longer than half an hour. Thank you for your videos, greetings from Germany!

I walk my Grey twice a day , early AM after breakfast, and mid PM total of 10k. Very fortunate i live in rural Ireland and don't have traffic issues . I go at his pace. sometimes i'm the "engine" and often Im the "trailer ". biggest issue is the sniffing !!! he can concentrate on one area for ten minutes but just let him do his own thing. He knows the time for walks and has a mini Zoomie before walks. Love the videos Jill and the captions in the background.🙂

My two greyhounds are so easy going, they love long walks (took it gentle at the start to build up stamina)but they are also very happy to go for a short walk. What I do though is change their routes daily. I am so lucky that I live rural in a part of Germany where I have woods, fields, parks and not far to a town. I don't think we walk the same walk twice even in a month. We have different lengths to adapt to weather conditions. We also have a big garden where they can have a good free run if they want. They are now 10 and 8 but really fit and still go at a fast past and long distances, no sign of oldness yet thank goodness.

Just did a 9 mile hike with my 7 year old female grey. She was dragging a little towards the end, and she was a little stiff the next day. But I think she really enjoys the adventure of being out in wilds. Normally during the week she gets a short morning walk to relieve herself (she won't go in the yard), and then she gets a longer (45 minutes) walk in the afternoon/evening. Before bed she gets another short walk so we don't have any accidents while we're sleeping. She's peed the bed in her sleep before.

My Grey is, I believe, not a typical Grey. Usually he gets 2 miles in the morning, 3 miles in the evening, but at weekends he probably does 6 miles in the morning and 2 in the evening - brisk walking pace. He's a real walking dog and gets super excited when it's time to go. We do use a long extending lead (8 metres) as he's proven to be 99% okay on that and it does give him much more freedom. I love walking anyway so it's fine for me, but he'd be a bit much for a more sedentary person. I don't know why he's like this - he does sleep the rest of the time, but he refuses to toilet in the garden and so has to go for a walk morning and late afternoon.

Hahah the secure field comment is so relatable! We’ve spent so much money on secure fields and our girl runs for about 30 seconds and then she’s finished 😂

another great advice vidio..

Love the captions Jill - you could make a whole video on just those alone! ;-)

Is no one gonna talk about the decoration peeping out of the bushes.

Good job! Just lovely... not a dry eye here. So sorry.

My hound thinks walks are a cat-finding mission. I think she's memorised every driveway where cats reside & if we don't see a cat before reaching home again, she will flatly refuse to walk through the gate! :D

My greyhound doesn't like rainy or cold day.

I love your videos. Could you do an advice video for greyhounds living in an apartment? I’m finding the housetraining side of that challenging and unsure about things like puppy pads…

When I 1st got my grey he to used panic when traffic came from behind, so everytime I heard a car etc coming I stopped and turned so he could see the car, after a little while he got used to the traffic and now takes no notice of it.

Hi! Enjoy your channel. I have had my greyhound for one year - 2 yo female. She acts like she want to walk but after 10 minutes will freeze and not want to walk any further. I have to pull hard on her leash to get her to move and she snaps and screams. She walk with 2 other dogs I rescued that are not greyhounds. She does this everyday! Talked to a behaviorist and he recommended Prozac, but I have not seen any change. Is she just stubborn? I don’t know what to do. Any wisdom you can provide would be wonderful! Thank you.

Jill I enjoyed the video, I have a retired racer got her at 3 now 7 will never give up with her. She exhibits bad aggression when she gets hold of something, whether it be something small or big. She will not let me remove anything but will go into attack mode I then back off. She’s fine when I brush her teeth and good on the lead. Any tips.thank you

Are those dogs suitable to the house with the cat? Considering their hunting background?
