Earning priveleges

In our home, privileges have to be earned. CeeZee showed early on that he could be good inside if allowed some freedom so quickly earned the privilege of not being closed into his xpen except when we were not able to supervise him for long. By being good in those circumstances he earned the privilege of freedom inside also when we were not there. We have now been gone from the house for as long as four hours with CeeZee having free access to the first floor of the house along with our other dogs. He has been very good each time so he will now only be confined to the xpen during meals, canine meals not human, and the crate at night. He gets along beautifully with all three of our dogs.

CeeZee is still curious about the kitties sometimes but if I call him or the cats tell him to bug off, he turns & leaves them alone. If the cats are sleeping or lounging around downstairs he ignores them. If they come running downstairs or start playing, he wants to check them out. He gets rewarded when the cats are in the room with him but he ignores them. We interrupt or otherwise distract him when he shows interest in the cats. I would definitely call him cat tolerant. Of course, careful introductions will be necessary for each new cat in new surroundings but I would expect the results to be similar in another home. Special care would need to be taken with little kittens darting about. He would need extra help to learn that they should be roommates not playmates. It would be the same with any dog, not just a Greyhound.

Does anyone want a gentle, beautiful, loving hunk of hound? If so, we have a handsome, young, fawn boy who would love to meet you. Put your application in today for this extra special guy.
