The first time I saw a greyhound was on the athletic field. Its vigorous and elegant posture won applause and praise from the audience. Some people ask, why can greyhounds be so smart? The answer is, of course, training. Although greyhounds have high IQs, they cannot become perfect and charming without acquired teaching and training. Then someone may still ask, how to train a greyhound? What is the method of training a greyhound?

【Training muscles】

To make Greyhounds stronger and stronger, you can improve working capacity and muscle strength by increasing oxygen consumption or causing anaerobic catabolism (lactic acid fermentation). This can be done after a short-term physical recovery by very intense and short-term exercise. Training to achieve. This is the basic principle of all pure strength exercises, and body upward is the best way to do it.

【Training to obtain anaerobic energy】

Anaerobic energy allows muscles to work hard in a state of lack of oxygen, such as fast running (Greyhound racing). In actual practice, in order to obtain this energy, very short and intense exercise (10 seconds to 1 minute sprint) is alternated with physical recovery (2 to 4 minutes). This type of training is physically and mentally demanding on the dog and should only be used when competition is approaching.

Of course, the above training content is something that every competing greyhound should participate in. As a family pet greyhound, its training requirements may not be so strict. Family training is mainly aimed at the dog’s living habits and attitude towards life.

For example, greyhounds are trained from an early age to develop the habit of eating, sleeping, and excreting at fixed points. Let it learn how to get along with its family and make its character more stable and well-behaved. Of course, many parents will also train greyhounds to stand, shake hands, patrol, catch Frisbees, etc. The training content for greyhounds raised at home is mainly to ensure that they can live better with humans.
