I recently had the privilege of helping a family who adopted two retired Greyhounds, Shadow and Pearl, straight off the racetrack. While these dogs are gentle by nature, their transition to home life came with challenges. During one walk, Shadow mistakenly viewed a small dog as prey—a behavior rooted in his past training and instincts. Understandably, the family was concerned and wanted to ensure everyone’s safety, especially with a young child at home.
We worked together to help Shadow and Pearl adjust to a very different lifestyle—living in a home, being around people, children, and other animals, all of which were new to them. With focused, consistent training, the dogs learned to walk calmly on leash, ignore other animals, and settle comfortably into their new environment.
Today, Shadow and Pearl aren’t just former racing dogs—they’re beloved family members, enjoying the good life they truly deserve. 🐾💛
