We adore our Greyhounds and wish we could understand them better. Even though we live closely with our beloved hounds, we are not always on the same wavelength. Have you ever found yourself wondering “Why on earth would he DO that?” We have all been there. Maybe it will help a little to list some things your Greyhound wants you to know.

Science continues to uncover your Greyhound’s most fascinating secrets. Here are some of the most basic things your hound would want to tell you.

Your Greyhound is always communicating with you.  Human communication is mostly verbal, and while some Greyhound communication is vocalizing, much of it is body language.  In any case, you will want to pay attention to the whole dog: body language gives the vocalization context. Here is some inside information that may help you understand your hound better.

We often think that communicating with our dogs means we talk to them, but in fact we can recognize what our dog is saying - even what he's thinking - just by learning our Greyhound’s body language.  We need “listen” with our eyes to understand what they are telling us, and in the same way, we need to be conscious of our body language to be sure we are not inadvertently communicating something that we don’t mean!
