Greyhound Relaxing By the Fire
Hi, I’m Steph! A DIYer, author, and podcast host. I live in Tallahassee, FL with my adopted greyhound, Tosh. She is a retired racer adopted from Greyhounds as Pets in Jacksonville, FL.
I adopted Tosh in 2020, and she was born 2017.
My first greyhound, Mac, passed away in Jan 2023. The names Mac & Tosh were a reference to my favorite computer, the Macintosh.
Every greyhound is different and I am just sharing my experience with my greyhounds. This is for entertainment purposes.

Just look around your (and Toshs) home and garden - soft beds, blankets, Mats, garden and space to run in shade an sun. The little bow in the "hair" and lots of love and cuddles for both beautiful hounds. THANK YOU for being such a wonderful human to your beloved Tosh and also a fantastic dog sitter. Both gorgeous 😍

    Fun experiment. I never thought about what it would take to entice a dog onto a paddle board and that some would take to it and others wouldn't.

    • @stephaniebutler697
      @stephaniebutler697 Месяц назад

      Niles had already shown an interstellar in getting in my canoe. Unfortunately, it's a bit too small for his long legs. He's also a very confident dog and used to going places with me. Marty, the black dog, may do well on a SUP in our creek eventually. But I feel he might he overwhelmed if we try anywhere out in public. His anxiety gets the better of him sometimes.

    Hi, i wouldnt give up with the other 2 greyhounds. Maybe try doing it at home. Just have it lying around at home and everytime they go on it by themselves give them a treat. If they get off thats fine but if they get on again they get treats and even more if they stay on. Really quickly they will love getting on it cause it predicts good things happening. Then maybe slowly start moving it while they are on and reward for staying on. Then you can also teach them a command for staying on. Only then should you take it outside and practice very slowly while giving a lot of high value treats. They didnt stay on because you went to fast so it spooked them. Everytime something like that happens you have to go back to the last step and reinforce that more. Also notice how with the first dog you used a lot of treats and he stayed on but with the others you didnt use any treats and they left immediately. In their minds its strange and moves so they dont have a reason to stay on. If you make it a predictor for good things they will stay on. You just have to take your time and dont give up on first try. Hope you keep trying, they would have a lot of fun kayaking :]

    • @stephaniebutler697
      @stephaniebutler697 Месяц назад

      You give greyt advice! We did run out of treats quickly but I do like to reinforce frequently. Marty has a lot of other anxiety we're working through and doesn't handle strange places well, so I don't think he's a good fit for paddling adventures. This was on our property, so Marty felt a bit more comfortable already. He may learn to enjoy the SUP here at home, but that's as far as I think we'dgo with it. Niles on the other hand is a more confident dog and handles different situations very well!

    Excellent video! I currently own a hard shell (Wilderness 140), which I love, but it is getting more and more difficult tonload on top of my SUV. I have heard that the Oru kayaks have "tracking" issues, but I'm not sure to what extent. Any input on that? TIA 😊

    • @smkauthor
      @smkauthor 26 дней назад

      I personally have not had tracking issues with the Oru Kayaks. The shorter the kayak it's a little bit more of a challenge, but that's with any short kayak. I don't think that's unique to Oru Kayaks.
