How do you calm a greyhound?
Remember it is undergoing stress adjusting to its new environment. Quiet and calm is the way to go. A light and gentle massage all over (paws and all) with soothing words is great for both the dog and the new owner. Your new greyhound may be very afraid the first few nights.
How do you tell if a greyhound is stressed?
