Taking Our Greyhound To The Beach For The First Time (10x29)

:

Although I really appreciate everyone’s suggestions about off leash dog beaches in southern CA, please understand that Bunny was born and bred to race, was registered to race and spent at least some portion of her life on a racing tack. She is a sighthound, she will take off whenever she sees something to chase and will not respond to commands, it is her nature. We can train her to the best of our ability but part of adopting a rescue greyhound is agreeing that your dog will never be off leash unless they are in a fully fenced in environment (or are on a leash). They are very different dogs in that sense and no matter how much we would love to let her run on a beach, even an off leash dog beach, safety already comes first and foremost with her. Even well trained former racing Greys can have this as a safety issue, and we would never let her run free unless we were in a fully fenced in environment. I hope you all can understand why this is the safest and best way currently in our state for her to enjoy the beach and if you are curious about rescue greyhoudsntonjist have a quick look on the internet. They are wonderful companions but do require some extra safety measures due to their ... well sighthoundedness lol.
