Approach, catch and fit collar and lead
When you have found the right greyhound, you will have to catch her in the kennel then fit the collar and lead.
There are a few things you will need to know to accomplish this task.
- You need to learn how greyhounds think, so you can safely catch the greyhound.
- You need to be able to read greyhound body language so that you can be ready to reassure a nervous greyhound or settle an excited animal.
- You need to know what equipment must be used and how to fit it.
For more information on the development of the breed go to the Resource Centre.
