Greyhound Unmuzzled Episode 8 - Becoming a Racer

Описание: Welcome to Greyhound Unmuzzled, the funny dog podcast for greyhound owners, rescue greyhound fans, and anyone considering adopting a greyhound or welcoming a retired racing greyhound into their home.

Today Louis and Alba discuss what life was like being raised for the track. We explore the early routine, socialisation, handling, and training that many racing greyhounds experience before retirement, and how that background can shape greyhound behaviour later on. If you’ve ever wondered why some ex-racers are nervous at first, struggle with stairs, startle at household noises, or do that “what is a mirror?” routine, this episode helps explain it.

We cover:

What a typical early environment can look like for a track-bound greyhound

How routines and kennels influence confidence, independence, and settling at home

Common myths about ex-racers and what greyhound welfare looks like today

Insights for first time greyhound owners: so that you know what your dog has perhaps experienced before their forever home.

If you’re searching for greyhound rescue UK, greyhound adoption UK, or you’re simply curious about racing greyhound life, this one’s for you. Expect banter, honest insight, and plenty of love for these long-nosed legends.
