How to Train a Greyhound's Speed? It Must Start from a Young Age.
How to Train a Greyhound's Speed:


  1. Specialized training: Training hunting dogs must start from a young age and be in the charge of a specialized person. The owner of the dog cannot be changed midway. If the dog trainer is changed midway, it is difficult to achieve satisfactory success. Moreover, it is not allowed for you to raise it for two days and then let others play with it. This will inevitably distract the energy of the puppy and seriously affect the improvement of hunting skills. If the puppy is treated as a plaything, it will only be a dog for play when it grows up.
  2. Training items and training time: An excellent hunting dog must possess the three hunting skills of searching, chasing, and retrieving. Therefore, tracking and searching, chasing and attacking, and retrieving prey are the key points of training. The purpose of training is to form a solid hunting conditioned reflex in the puppy's mind and learn these three hunting skills so that it can complete the hunting tasks assigned by the hunter in the future. The three months from the sixth, seventh, and eighth months after the puppy is born are the periods when its advanced nervous system develops the fastest and also the golden period for training the puppy's hunting movements. At this time, the puppy must be strictly and systematically trained to enable it to have good hunting conditioned reflexes. After one year, the development of the hunting dog is completed and the quality of the hunting dog is fixed. It is very difficult to train it again.
  3. Training venue: The primary training of puppies can be carried out in the living area of hunters, such as a spacious courtyard, a rural threshing ground, or an open space outside the village. However, the training of puppy hunting movements must be carried out in a real mountain forest hunting ground. Through hunting ground training, fully develop the hunting skills of hunting dogs, and train puppies to learn to track and search, chase and attack, and retrieve prey, and overcome activities that do not meet hunting requirements. The more times puppies participate in actual hunting training, the better their hunting skills will be. Therefore, hunters should often lead puppies to conduct training hunts.


Growth and Care of Greyhound Puppies:


Newborn puppies are very weak. Breeders should observe at any time to prevent the mother dog from crushing the puppies. Puppies can suck milk by themselves after birth, but weak puppies should be placed on the mother dog's chest to help them suck milk. The mother dog has 8 to 10 nipples. The ability to nurse puppies is limited. A large mother dog can nurse 10 puppies. If the number is too large, foster care or artificial feeding should be considered to ensure the healthy growth of puppies.


Puppies generally refer to greyhounds that are 60 days to 3 months old. At this stage, due to weaning and changes in the living environment, puppies often experience mental and behavioral restlessness and loss of appetite. At this time, careful care is required. Feed three times a day. Calcium powder and vitamins should be added to the food. At the same time, special attention should be paid to preventing a small number of puppies from overeating. The daily feeding amount should depend on the size of the dog and should not be overfed. Seven to eight tenths full is good, and give each puppy about 150 milliliters of drinking water. Arrange an appropriate amount of outdoor exercise every day. The irradiation of ultraviolet rays is beneficial for calcium absorption and the growth and development of bones.


Care Requirements for Young Greyhounds:


Young dogs generally refer to greyhounds that are 3 to 6 months old after birth. Young dogs can already live independently. Feeding can be changed to twice a day. Feeding should be regular, quantitative, of fixed quality, and at a fixed temperature. Take good care when the dog eats.


At this time, the canine teeth of young dogs have grown out and they like to chew. Appropriate bones can be given for them to chew. The dog group should be separated according to strength. Pick out young dogs that like to fight and put them in a dog group with older age to avoid fighting and causing losses. Breeding dogs have higher nutritional requirements. Generally, in addition to feeding in the morning and evening, an additional feeding should be added in the middle.


To ensure the daily activity amount of breeding dogs, they should be active in a large activity field 2 to 3 times a day for about 30 minutes each time. This can not only ensure the quality of male dogs but also enhance the physical fitness of female dogs.
