Toilet training for your greyhound 

I just want to say how comforting your videos are. You identify worrying problems, explain worrying problems and give clear advice in such a calm way. We are about to adopt another grey...our second, after losing our wonderful Misty who was nearly 13 after her sharing our lives for 9 years. I wish I'd come across your videos when we had Misty mainly because you would have put my mind at rest. Thank you so much.

This is the best greyhound site! I've had my 2 girls for 8 years and I still learn something every time I tune in.

I think, treating the toilet training as if they were puppies: after each meal, each sleep, each play/running around would be a good regiment in the beginning.

Good video Jill! My lad, after 6 months, decided he simply wasn't going to poo in his own garden - as I figured he saw it as part of his extended kennel by that point. (He's always happily wee'd in there - just not number 2.'s) Now that he's on 2 months house-arrest and confinement (recovering from a slipped disc) he's learnt a new skill! He now gets the fact that he's going to have to "go" in the garden, on a lead with a harness - to stop him doing an ill-advised zoomie. I took my lad out on a lead, into the garden, every hour right thru the first couple of days and praised him and did the cue words that you mentioned.. It absolutely works! Very information Jill - all new dog pawrents should watch this video.

You are very good at putting across your experience of lovely greyhounds. Thankyou.

Some good tips. Thank you very much. Anne & Nina x

What if you live in a flat and don't have access to a garden?

Great content as always! I'd like to ask if greyhounds can be trained to toilet on those dog pee pads indoors. For someone living in a flat this could be a helpful backup in a situation where going outside wasn't possible for whatever reason.

Thank you for this video ❤️ I’ve had mine a month and is getting better but he did have an accident after being clean for two weeks. We also found the past couple days he’s been waking us up about half an hour earlier than usual to go toilet even though he went before bed. Did yours take a while to sleep through the night for toiletting?

Thank you so much for your videos, I have my greyhound Max since August, he has never peed in the house but has had a few no 2 accidents, at random hours during the day and during the night. I'm up every morning at 6am and Max usually starts gentle howling around 5.30/45 basically as soon as he hears me moving in the bed or when my alarmm goes off (he sleeps downstairs) at the weekends I would love to have a lie in until about 8 but always get up at 6 and straight out for a walk as we don't have an enclosed garden. You mentioned in a previous video that I could get up and sleep on the couch to have a lie in, I never considered this because I presumed due to our morning routine of 6am that he'd be bursting for the toilet at that stage. He gives no indicators at all when he needs a pee (he paces in circles when he needs a poo) Is it OK to push his morning walk out by 2 hours at weekend's?

I'm very late to this video, thank you for all the info. I have an issue with my greyhound only going to the toilet on our street. She won't go in the park, other streets etc. She's not nervous or fearful and we have tried training a "go pee" command, but no joy. We've had her 6 weeks and I'm wondering if you've come across this before?

We have had our grey for 11months. During this time she has had her good moments and bad doing both wee & pooh in the house. She is now pretty good with the wee and for quite a few months we thought she was trained for both, but lately she has decided to wee outside when we ask her but she's begun to pooh in the house sometime through the night. It seems to have become a new habit. She was so good for months. Nothing has changed in the house. We can't leave the door open for her to go when she want's because we live in the country where we have snakes and other wild animals. Some advise would be welcome. Also what cleaning product to use for pooh.

My 2 Greys can always go outside in the garden any time, day or night, to pee or poo. But when I walk them, in an hour or so, they poo two or three times each, even when evidently there is nothing left to discharge. In this way, I have to walk with poo baggies hoping there is a bin nearby, ( which is not often the case) and this annoys me. I love to walk my dogs, but this is way too much. Can you help?

It took my Greyhound at least 4 months to get him toilet trained, but perseverance and patience it fell into place. Just wish you were around at the time to give advice. Love your Videos and expertise and knowledge of Grays. 🦮👍
