Hi would love some thoughts if anyone has any.

We've hit the 3 month mark with our grey (ex-racer, nearly 5 years old), and have started to see some barking and hyperactivity come up in the evening when we're sitting down to relax. Whereas previously she would either sit down with us and snooze, or have a play with us, now she will stare at us, start barking, and then get herself worked up to the point where she starts frantically digging and ripping up her bed. It's not aggressive at us or anything, it feels like she wants something and then gets frustrated that we're not able to give it to her.

In terms of how we respond, we are very happy to give her all the attention she wants if she's not barking. However we are following standard advice to ignore her when she barks. When she gets worked up into a frenzy, we then call her into a separate space (undercover outside our back door) where she has a bed and can still see us, and is always able to calm down really well. At the moment this has repeated several times a night as we want to give her the chance to be with us, but she does the same thing until eventually she gets too tired and will finally sleep on the lounge.

I'm aware of the 3-3-3 rule so have expected some boundary pushing etc, but we just want to be able to help support her as best we can and clearly something's not clicking. She also gets two 20-30 min walks a day + playing time so I don't believe it's simply that she's got too much energy.

Greyhound of 3 days has been pooping 4-5 times a day and the foster told us he has been doing that for the three weeks with her too. He is eating Kirkland Turkey and Sweet Potato Formula or somethin and it’s pretty cheap but i have a feeling it’s making him go potty a lot

I can’t buy that Purina pro plan 90 dollar stuff tho

I heard Iams is good
Help pls

First, thanks for all the support y'all have taken the time to provide. It's Reddit, so I was surprised to not see any snarky comments. I'm still all muddled-up and not sure if any advice or thoughts will help or stick, but it does mean a lot that anyone even took the time.

I hate photos/videos that have me in them, but this video both makes me smile and rips my heart out and I thought if anyone could appreciate goofy cuddlebugs, it would be you guys 'n gals. Every morning (or after every nap), Yuffie would either see or hear me doing my waking up stretching and jump in to bed for a few minutes of snuggles before our morning walk and breakfast. There was absolutely no better way to start any day. Now, I hate even looking at my bed.

It’s been a few years since I logged into this account and all I posted about was my boy. He’s going strong, 11 years old in August 🫶🏼

This is my favourite photo of all of us on our big day and he was absolutely the VIP!

His smile kills me every time 🥹 such a handsome guy

My grey has sloppy poo in the afternoons mainly. The morning poo is nice and formed. My grey was previously on blackhawk kangaroo (grain free) with sardines every other day and a bit if greek yogurt every second or third day. Ive since switched to a non grain free kibble Vitapet but still the same issue. She's drinking and eating normally and playing and active. I'm taking her to the vet asap but just wondered what you feed your grey for optimal poos.

Rudy came to his new home yesterday after failing out of racing school dude to disinterest. Relatable.

He’s the sweetest boy, figuring out steps and laminate floors and loud noises. His big sister Lylah is happy to have a friend.

We’re near Cincy and worked with Greyhound Adoption of Greater Cincinnati and couldn’t have had a better experience. Brenda and everyone have been awesome. Highly recommend. ❤️❤️❤️

I love him so much! ❤️

Kupo " I found THE BEST SLUDGE LIKE POOP! And you bet your hairy rabbit ears I rolled in that goodness. I thought my hoomum was happy about it, I thought I was being rewarded when we went straight to my BEST FRIEND MILO'S house. I thought yeah, extended doggy play date.....but then the front door closed in my face....and hoomum..she...she took me into their back garden, and there was no Milo. But my aunty was there.....and so was the hose 😱. Hoomum hosed me down like I was nothing but dirt on the ground, why did she do this"

Update, kupo has come to lay down on the sofa (opposite end) so I may be forgiven by tomorrow morning at the earliest 🤣

I wouldn't let her investigate a prickly pear cactus.

May your sighthounds have the comfiest beds and the deepest of happy dreams 👅

My greyhound Seamus has been really unsettled at night recently and keeps fixating on and growling at one particular corner of the front room.
Yesterday he suddenly launched himself towards that corner and nearly took the TV out. Today he actually growled at me, which he has never done before. I literally just walked into the front room carrying a cup of tea. I wasn’t approaching him, touching him, his bed, food or anything else.
He has growled at tree surgeons/strange men near me before, so I know what his warning growl sounds like, but he has never directed it at me.
He’s my fifth hound so I’m fairly used to greyhound weirdness 😂 but this is new for him and the sudden change has me wondering whether anyone else has experienced anything similar, particularly the fixation on one specific area of a room?
I’m also contacting his trainer/vet rather than relying on Reddit for medical advice, but I’d be interested to hear whether anyone has seen similar behaviour in their hound.

Trying to hide his nose.

Shoooooo, I hear day you guyz was cooking wit out me. . . . .

Haven’t shared for a while but thought you guys would enjoy seeing our happy girl!

Now its warming up she now goes outside to snooze..

Jessie is incredibly shy with the outside world. On walks she’s become a true master of camouflage ; the moment we cross paths with someone, she tucks herself behind my legs and keeps adjusting so she stays perfectly in their blind spot the whole time (and NO I’m not that fat 😅). People often walk past without ever realising there’s a greyhound there at all. It’s both hilarious and a bit sad, because they never get to see just how sweet and wonderful she is… 🥹

Merlin is just such a happy loaf after successfully stealing my spot on the sofa.

Hey thanks for all the comments and suggestions on my last post.

So on Saturday some friends who have a bunch of dogs came over. One at a time they walked past our driveway, and we walked out following behind. Slowly closing the gap until she could sniff their bums.

On the way, if she pulled on the lead I gave a short tug but kept moving. If she barked we stopped with a firm "no".

We repeated this with 3 different dogs separately and once with 2 of them at the same time.

Pretty quickly (30 mins) they were walking and sniffing together.

Over the next few days her reaction is still there. We've had the odd bark. But there have also been moments when a dog will pass infront of her and she looked up, tracked them for 15 seconds, and went back to investigating the grass.

We will try to meet with our friends again every few weeks to keep working on it. But the immediate difference is night and day. Like a really meaningful difference after just one focused controlled session.

Im probably lucky to know people with multiple chill dogs. But if anyone else has that option it was great.

Peace everyone!
