Ruff Rider
Arriving 8/5/2017
8/18/2017: RR is doing fantastic in his foster home. He is 100% house trained with no accidents the house or in his crate. He also has earned a large fluffy dog be in his crate as he doesn't try to tear up his bedding. RR is learning his name, however he has not quite caught on yet. He is now comfortable with eating kibble meals twice a day, and can comfortably eat around other greyhounds at raised feeding stations.
RR is comfortable with hardwood floors but is still learning about glass doors. He has bonked his head a few times thinking they were open. RR gets along with all large dogs but we are not 100% sure of his small dog safety. He has shown a lot of "interest" with small dogs that are moving or excited, but has left the resident Italian greyhound alone through a gated doorway. He is working on polite leash manners and still wants to pull to get to something if he sees it. He does stand politely for petting. In fact he loves attention and can be a little dominant when it is given.
He will "load up" into the back of the SUV without hesitation or assistance. He is comfortable in a crowd of people but does seem sensitive to sudden loud noises, but is quickly calmed . He does NOT like the hair dryer. He will tolerate nail trims with clippers but unknown at this time about the Dremmel. He is not fond of the bath time, but with each bath he seems to get more comfortable.
