Another question about my greyhound..?

She could lack confidence now that she hasn't got Sam with her. If they always went out together then she is not used to going on her own. Try sitting on the floor with her lead and do not attempt to put it on her. Let her come to you when she feels confident enough to come over just stroke her and tell her how great she is. If she will take a treat give her one - try something really tastey like cooked liver or sausage. Don't attempt to put it on her straight away. Have you thought about getting a new lead? Do you have a local training class that you could take her too just to get her confidence up again around other dogs? - Not to do training but just to socialise her.

I think once she gets used to being on her own she will be fine. Remember not to over fuss her when she is behaving like this as you are rewarding the behaviour. Lots and lots of praise when she is doing what you want.

Hi. It is quite possible that your greyhound is missing the old dog. I wonder would it be too soon for you to go and get another greyhound from your rescue centre? If she was rescued, who knows what kind of life she had prior to the life she has now? Is she off her food? Often greyhounds are kept in kennels, so never experience life without other dogs around them? I have 5 greyhounds. 2 are rescued, and 3 are raced by my partner. We had a dog who lost his sparkle once, when his pal went down south to race. So i think she is pining. What you could do could do is go onto your local greyhound rescue site, and go to their 'forum page' Put your question on there? My local rescue centre is 'fife greyhound rescue' run by a couple called Celia and Jimmy. Take a look on it, its very pleasant to look at, and i'm sure you will enjoy visiting. Click on the link to the 'forum' down the left hand side of the home page, and you can ask the greyhound folk what they think? www.greyhoundrescuefife.com

i think that the old dog was the pack leader may be that you are at the bottom of the pack and the dog you have left dose not think he is strong enough to lead you if i am right you must be the boss and show him you are strong dot feel sorry for him be firm make him do what you want and once he is led by you he will be happy to go any were you lead him good luck to both of you

You need to gradually gain the dog's confidence which could take time. The key is to show the dog that the work is a good thing for example her favourite toy just outside the garden and gradually move it further and further also use treats.
