How To Train Your Dog to Stop Barking
Use positive reinforcement to train your dog to bark on command; this will help him learn how to be quieted on command as well.
..:::How To Pet
Comb the coat with a natural bristle brush. Greyhounds shed an average amount of hair.
Dry shampoo the dog as needed. Apply a final coat conditioner after bathing or dry shampooing. This helps keep your dog's coat looking sleek and smooth.
Use scissors to clip the whiskers if you desire. Make this decision based on personal taste, especially if your dog isn't a show dog.
Use thinning shears to get rid of stray hairs. Greyhounds should have a very short coat, so long stray hairs are very noticeable if you don't trim them.
Use cotton balls to prevent water from getting in to the dog's ears during bath. The Greyhound's ears are folded back which makes it easy for water to get in.
Put skin cream on the joints and any rough patches. Greyhounds tend to develop elbow calluses that you can treat or prevent entirely with a good, gentle cream.
