Italian Greyhounds make for cute, long-legged puppies. As an attention-seeking breed, there’s no better time to start training than when they’re young. This will help you create a lasting bond with your pup. Furthermore, Italian Greyhounds can be independent and stubborn, so the earlier you start training with your puppy, the better, for a carefree adulthood. Reward your puppy with a variety of tasty treats so that they stay interested, and save the best ones for dedicated training sessions. While your Italian Greyhound is sure to learn basic commands like sit and stay, with more active commands like fetch, their hound distractibility may lead them astray. One command you can depend on: cuddle!
Healthy puppies will have clean ears with no signs of discharge, redness, inflammation or pungent odour. If the puppy is aggressively scratching or pawing their ear, tilting their head or excessively flipping their head, it may also be a sign of discomfort. Breeds with floppy ears are more prone to infection or disease.
