Walking greyhounds and sighthounds
I have spent over 15 years in greyhound welfare, working with retired racing greyhounds. This page is about that experience. A greyhound is booked as an individual walk, at that walk’s price. It is not a separate service, and it is not behaviour treatment or training.
Sending a request does not confirm a booking. The place is agreed with you first.
What is included
- Over 15 years in greyhound welfare, including retired racing greyhounds, kennels and rehoming.
- A usual starting point of an individual walk, so the dog has one-to-one space.
- An adventure walk only when a companion is genuinely suitable and a careful introduction has been agreed.
- Qualified canine first aid instruction, accredited since 2018. It supports the walk. It does not replace your vet.
Dogs this suits
- Retired racing greyhounds, and greyhounds who have come through welfare or kennels.
- Other sighthounds, where space, chase and introductions need the same care.
- Dogs of other breeds too. This experience sits alongside the walks, rather than instead of them.
What we talk through
Retired racing greyhounds are often moving from racing kennels into a home. Kennel routine and home routine are different, and the meet-and-greet is where that history is shared: how the dog travels, and what a good walk looks like for them.
A strong prey drive is ordinary. We talk about cats, squirrels and unfamiliar dogs before the first outing, so the route can respect it. Some greyhounds freeze on a walk and need a moment before they move on. Confidence in an unfamiliar environment, such as a new path, a doorway or a busier corner, can take time, and the walk waits. Walking preferences differ too: one dog wants a quiet loop, another wants more ground.
Another dog is possible only after a careful introduction, and only when both dogs are comfortable. Many sighthounds are happier alone. That is a normal result of the conversation, not a problem to be trained out. None of this is behaviour treatment, a training plan, or a rehabilitation programme. If your dog needs a behaviourist or a vet, that is a separate decision.
Collection and return
The same collection rules as the walk you book. An individual walk has an agreed arrival window. An adventure walk includes collection and return in the covered area. Neither is confirmed by sending the form.

Questions
Is there a separate greyhound price?
No. A greyhound walk is booked as an individual walk, or as an adventure walk when a paired outing is suitable. The published price, when there is one, is the price of that service.
Will you walk a greyhound with another dog?
Only after we have talked about prey drive, the other dog, and a careful introduction. Many sighthounds are happier alone. That is a normal outcome of the meet-and-greet, not a failure.
