Living with a greyhound can be wonderful.
It can also be completely confusing.
One minute they’re curled up on the sofa, looking like the easiest dog in the world.
The next, they’re freezing on walks, barking at the window, refusing to be left, launching at squirrels or ignoring you completely.
Then there's the staring at you like you’re ruining their life because dinner is three minutes late.
And then you’re left wondering…
“Is this normal?”
“Am I doing something wrong?”
“Do I need a trainer?”
“Will she grow out of it?”
“Why is my hound so weird?”
"Am I ruining him?"
First of all, welcome to greyhounds.
Secondly, no, you’re probably not ruining him. You may just need a different way of understanding what he's trying to tell you.

MEET KAREN
I’m Karen, and I've lived and worked with retired racers for over 15 years.
My approach is based on one core belief: behaviour is communication. Every problem you're seeing has a root cause, and when you understand that cause, the solution becomes clear.
I work with Greyhounds and their owners because this breed deserves specialists who understand their history, sensory world, and emotional needs. My methods are designed to work with your hound's nature, never against it.
So, whether you're navigating a specific behaviour challenge or preparing to welcome your first hound home, I'm here to guide you every step of the way.


We'd tried shouting, bribing, and pleading. Karen's training didn’t involve any of that and, weirdly, it worked.
Both hounds are much calmer with each other and Chilli finally has reliable recall.
Tristan R with Chilli and Lucky


This is a fantastic way to gently and successfully train dogs.
Just a couple of suggestions have made a big difference in his behaviour around walks and when I leave him.
Jennie D with Banksy


Karen is really approachable, kind and patient.
Very knowledgeable and passionate about her work.

While it will take time for a new hound to find her feet in a home environment, it's possible you'll see an increase in anxiety as she settles in if she's not given the right signals. The free Hound Code PDF will give you a good grounding to help settle your new hound.
To give you an in depth answer I'd need to know more, so if you book a free call with me I'd be happy to talk you through things.
No. You’ll be invited to take the next step if and when it feels right, but the free Hound Code is there to give genuine value first.
The course is aimed at greyhound owners, including retired racers, rescue greyhounds, but if you have a lurcher or other sighthound, you may still find the guidance helpful.
If you have another breed alongside your hound they're more than welcome, but the focus is greyhounds.
Then you’re very welcome to book a free chat. Sometimes it’s easier to explain what’s happening out loud, especially when the behaviour seems complex.
Book your free 30 minute discovery call with me and tell me your concerns and expectations. We can discuss the options and move forward from there.
