How is a greyhound trained?
Chasing an artificial hare comes naturally to a greyhound. The role of a greyhound trainer is to channel that innate ability and ensure that the dog is kept fit, healthy, happy and mentally stimulated. A typical daily routine for a greyhound in training is likely to include a mix of galloping, walking or even swimming exercise followed by massage and grooming. In fact a greyhound’s training regime is not dissimilar to that or a race horse. It is of course in the interests of the trainer and his team of staff to look after their greyhounds properly if they want them to form a race-winning partnership.
