What training do you need to give your greyhound in order to keep the greyhound running?

Because the grey is the fastest dog in the world, many people think that the greyhound can be trained without much training. Wrong, if the greyhound is not physically trained, it is impossible for the greyhound to run so fast all the time.

Muscle training

To make a puppy stronger, it can be done by increasing oxygen consumption or by causing anaerobic catabolism (lactic fermentation). Improve work performance and muscle strength, which can be achieved with very intense, short training sessions after short-term recovery. This is the basic principle of all pure strength exercises, and body up is the best way to do it.

Training to gain anaerobic energy

Anaerobic energy allows muscles to work hard in a state of hypoxia, such as fast running (spirit competition). In actual practice, in order to obtain this energy, very short and vigorous movements (10 seconds - 1 minute sprint) are alternated with physical recovery (2 - 4 minutes). This training is physically and psychologically demanding for the dog and should only be used when competition is approaching.

Of course, the above training content is the content that every participating Spirit Dog should participate in. As a family pet spirit dog, its training requirements may not be so strict. Home training is mainly aimed at the dog's living habits and attitude towards life.

For example, from a young age, the dog has been trained to develop the habit of eating, sleeping and excreting. Let it learn how to get along with the family, and let it become more stable and well-behaved. Of course, many parents will also train the dog to stand, shake hands, go around, pick up Frisbees, and so on. The training content of the family-raised spirit dog is mainly to ensure that it can better live with human beings.
