Yes, they love to be lazy, but they're also up for an outdoor adventure whenever you are. Whether it's hiking, walking, jogging, or playing, your Greyhound will keep up with the activity.
Can you take a greyhound on a long walk?
Contrary to popular belief, greyhounds do not need long walks or vast amounts of exercise. If your hobby is walking then your greyhound's stamina can be built up over a couple of months.
How much walking does a greyhound need?
Greyhounds aren't overly energetic, requiring about an hour of exercise daily. They prefer the opportunity for a good couple of runs rather than miles of walking so they are better suited to living in more rural areas.
Why does my greyhound not want to go for a walk?
Freezing (suddenly stopping and refusing to move) on walks is a sign your greyhound is feeling extremely fearful and overwhelmed. If this happens, just give them time to relax and talk to them reassuringly and then follow-up by seeking advice from a veterinary behaviour consultant.
How many times a day should you walk a greyhound?
Exercise. Not all greyhounds want a lot of exercise, so it is best to gauge what your individual dog needs. As a minimum, 30 minutes per day is recommended, but ideally a walk morning and night should be the routine. Greyhounds are built for speed so tend not to have much stamina.
