Beautiful pups! I have a two year old greyhound girl and use a harness and a "Halti" gentle leader since she'll sometimes pull so hard she'll make herself choke. AirTags are a great idea, remember to change the battery, sometimes it'll die without warning. I went with a Fi after using an AirTag for a year or so.
Y...cómo son los galgos cuando son pequeños? parece una pregunta obvia ó sin sentido pero he visto muchos galgos pero de bebés nunca y me gustaría verlo. Por lo demás tus galgos me parecen preciosos y que vives para ellos un abrazo Steph
Nice video! Really cool greyhounds :). Watch out for the harness, since it doesnt have any fabric between the plastic clip and the skin (as far as i can see), it can tear the skin if she falls on her side while running. A friend of mine works at a vet, and saw a grey that needed stitches for that injury. Since their skin is so thin... We have a Ruffwear harness ("webmaster" i think) for our whippet. but there are some nice budget versions of that harness on Amazon as well. Cheers from the Netherlands :)
Thanks for the info! I only walk her in the harness and take it off if I let her run. I tried a different harness before, but she got out of it twice. So far she has not been able to escape from this one!
our grey girl also has a very high prey drive, and she also has some leash aggression issues so I freaking hate it when we encounter off leash dogs when she is on the leash. She doesn't have prey drive towards other dogs and when she is off leash at the dog park she is mostly aloof and only focused on smelling and marking (although she does play sometimes too). But when we encounter off leash dogs and she is on the leash, she can be very reactive with barking and snapping at them if they get too close. It's very stressful at the time and then for the rest of the walk she is all keyed up and anxious. Do you have a gps tag on their collars?
Yep, I can relate. Tosh is always on the lookout on our walks for little things to go after. I have an Apple AirTag on their collars. It's a tracker, but not true GPS. It's a little extra security if they were to get away. And Mac has a microchip.
Suggest you also do some work with your Grey regarding the "aggression issues." My Grey has high prey drive and once knocked me off my feet when she spotted a squirrel running up a tree. She got a sharp correction with the martingale and and NO! We continued walking past other squirrels with a small correction and "no" when she fixated on them and praise when she ignored. Now... no problem with walks. They aren't the smartest breed, but they are very trainable.

I loved that you didn’t edit the sweet dog walking across ! ❤

My greyhound wears a easy walk harness
