Introducing Your Home Dogs
If you already have pet dogs, it's important to manage introductions carefully to set everyone up for success. Here's how to do it safely.
How do I best introduce my dogs?
If you own another dog, it is recommended that the initial introduction take place in an open and neutral space without any other dog's present. Where we can, we'll invite you to bring your dog to our adoption centre to meet before taking your grey home. Alternatively, a quiet sporting oval or street is ideal.
Both dogs must be leashed, and your greyhound must be muzzled. Allow the dogs to calmly greet while both on leash and smell each other, if there is too much excitement, move them apart until they settle.
When at home, ensure that you always feed the dogs separately, remove any items they may fight over (toys, bones etc) and that you carefully supervise the dogs' interactions in the first two weeks.
How do I ensure my greyhound feels safe?
If you are unable to supervise the dogs during this period, you should keep them physically separated; placing your greyhound in his safe space. It is important that this safe space allows your greyhound to observe and feel part of the family, while still being separated from your other dogs (and pets and children). This can be achieved by creating a safe space within the family areas using playpens, baby gates or a crate. Some greyhounds will not be comfortable in a crate, but others will.
Have a discussion with your children, particularly young children, about allowing the greyhound to have a special space. When the greyhound is in their special place, children and adults leave the greyhound undisturbed.
It is important that the whole family choses an appropriate place for their greyhound's special place and everyone respects that space.
