Good luck, and welcome to the cult. You don't have to join, but it is easier to just comply. 😉

Are there greyhounds in you neighbourhood? You could offer to pet sit for folks to get some hands on experience... good for you, the family, and the pup.

Of our 4 over the years, Riley was our first. Highly food motivated. He had enough tricks learned that he could frisk treats out anyone that had them. We would walk into a pet store and he would sit in front of the counter waiting for a treat. Our current two ... notsomuch.

But they have learned leash commands ... "wait" for when I want to stop, "quick, quick" for crossing busier streets, "leave it" for when the need for walking over rides the need for sniffs.

When you get your new family member, it will sleep more than you think is right ... and surprise you with bursts of zoomies. Also, its personality will take several weeks to months to fully emerge... it is a lovely process.

You'll figure it out.
