_____________________________________

Greyhounds fresh from the racetrack sometimes feel the need for the security of a crate. We advocate the use of a crate for training in
these cases, during the time it takes the dog to adjust to retirement. Are you willing to obtain, learn and use proper crate training to
help your Greyhound adjust to its new life if the dog needs it?
