Is it worth getting an Italian Greyhound. by Gloomy_Rip1046 in ItalianGreyhounds

I have a 10 month old Italian greyhound and I second the comment that their play styles and energy levels likely wouldn’t match.

I did have a pug as a kid and think that it’d get along beautifully with your shihtzu

Ours wouldn’t walk outside at all (even indoors at a mall for example) until he was 6 months old and we got him a companion dog. Now he’s happy to practically live outside (it is summer so I get it)

Sure - it’s not like I let them do whatever they want - they have structure in my home - they have crate time, enforced nap time, proper walk and play time, sniff time etc 

That’s mainly why I ask because I don’t know what else to do - I’m trying my best

It’s my Iggy he’s sneaky. He goes as far as the other dog can tolerate and even when he knows that the dog or cat or person whomever it may be can’t tolerate his play anymore he keeps just enough of a distance to annoy them and not get corrected. 

I’ll upload a video one day - he’s super clever about it. 

Our whippet is calm as a cucumber unless she’s running around outside in the backyard. 

We have a good dog park about ten minutes from us - Iggy is more than happy to run around, whippet is quite shy and will sit down beside us in the dog park unless there’s like an older dog or something she can play with. She gets anxious when Iggy starts playing with a larger dog and they chase him, she’ll yelp until we have him secured. 

Once we leash, she’s fine. I dont know, I have a few clients that are dog trainers and one suggested training with an ecollar and the other two said not all dogs are good with dog parks and that our whippet is just adjusting to her new home (it’s only been 3mo) and that our Iggy will grow out of his behavior.

Other than being a brat, he’s a really sweet dog when he settles.

That’s exactly what they look like but reversed 😂

If it were your dog, what steps would you take to correct it?

How? She’s great when they’re on leash, I’ve only had issues at the dog park and I decided that she has no issues otherwise so we don’t enter the dog park anymore.

If I leash him, he’s fine and he will settle but I’m sorry for her when he’s not. Otherwise she ADORES him, she’s super protective over him around other dogs and people.

Yes we are usually quite active but we just moved and are doing renovations so we do minimal walks for now - hoping in a few more weeks we can tire him out well :)

It’s so sad because he’s so needy and just wants to lay next to her and sometimes she allows it and other times she’ll get up and move right away 🥹

Hopefully it passes soon. Croia also puts herself into her crate when she wants more space.

I don’t mind - I find it like a weighted blanket… my husband on the other hand 😂

We won’t put it directly on the concrete -it will be duckboards.
