How to Train your GREYHOUND

Training Your Italian Greyhound

The Italian Greyhound is a miniature sight-hound with incredible speed and a deeply sensitive, affectionate nature. They are notoriously difficult to house-train.

Key Training Tips:

• House-Training Persistence: They hate cold and wet weather, often refusing to go outside. You must be relentlessly consistent and consider indoor potty pads.
• Leash Safety: They have a massive prey drive and will bolt after squirrels. Never allow them off-leash in an unfenced area.
• Gentle Motivation: They are physically and emotionally fragile. Harsh corrections will terrify them. Use soft praise and high-value treats exclusively.

They are deeply devoted lap dogs that thrive in a quiet, strictly positive training environment.
