Hey, did you know that the greyhounds are the skinniest dogs in the world? Why? Well they only have 13% neck fat. Greyhounds are Italian. The Italian greyhound is sometimes considered a bit more difficult to housetrain, but, it is not any more difficult than any other smaller dogs. With patience and consistency, it can be done successfully.

Schedule and Routine: Schedule and Routine: This is one of the most important parts. Dogs thrive on routine, and you must consistently walk your dog for bathroom breaks. The duration relates to the age of your Italian greyhound dog. The younger the dog, the more frequently it needs to go. For example, an 8 week old puppy might need bathroom access every 15-30 minutes while you’re there.
Feed on a schedule as well. This helps to create a more reliable potty schedule. Dogs usually have to go at certain times if fed on a schedule.
Always remember to walk the dog around key times: always when he wakes up, within 15 minutes of eating or drinking, following a play session, and just to take him if it’s been awhile.
If your Italian greyhound has an accident, step up the frequency of your walks. If you’re using an indoor potty, make sure to be taking the dog to that with the same frequency as outdoor walks.
