The greyhound originated in ancient Egypt. It is a close relative of the shepherd dog. In history, it was a hunting dog with sharp eyesight. So how do we train the greyhound in our daily life? Let’s learn with the editor Bar.

Greyhound

When the puppy is 3-4 months old, it can start to practice rabbit hunting. The main purpose is to let the puppy know the prey and cultivate its interest in hunting. Buy a large rabbit, preferably a hare-like color. Because hares are wild and strong, if they bite or kick the puppy violently, the puppy will suffer a loss and will be scared to see the hare again. Find an open space, preferably grass, tie the rabbit's legs with a string, pull it quickly in front of the puppy, tease the puppy to bite, and let the puppy bite the rabbit while running. After biting, take it off and repeat. Every time you bite a rabbit, touch its head, call its name and give it a few words of encouragement. When playing this game, it is best to play with 2-3 puppies of similar age and let several puppies compete with each other. Play this once every few days. After a few times, whenever you see a rabbit or puppy, they will chase and bite them desperately. This first step is considered a success.

When it is 5-6 months old, it can start hunting rabbits with other dogs. The main purpose is to let the puppies learn to get on and off the car, understand what everyone is doing when they go out, and see how the big dogs catch hares. Any injured hares can be released in a large open space for the puppies to practice. After a period of time, the puppy knew that after discovering the hare, the big dog would attack and chase the hare. The big dog would bite the hare and come forward to fight for the hare. After each attack, it would hear the owner's command and come back immediately to get in the car quickly. Indicates that the training is successful.

6, 7, and 8 months is the fastest period for its advanced neurological development, and it is also the golden period for training puppies to hunt. At this time, the puppies must undergo strict and systematic training so that they can have good hunting conditioned reflexes. After one year, the development of the hound has been completed, and the quality of the hound has been determined, so retraining is very difficult. During this period, when hunting hares, bring both big and small dogs. I think the number is 2-4 big dogs with 1-2 small dogs. If there are too many big dogs, the small dogs will have no chance; if there are too many small dogs, If there are too many, it will be too chaotic when hunting, and the rabbits that should be caught will not be caught.
