Newly available in paperback for 2022, this comprehensive guide is expertly tailored to all greyhound aficionados, offering invaluable insights for seasoned trainers and beginners alike. Given the physical demands of racing, every greyhound is likely to experience injury at some point. As such, it is vitally important for handlers to be educated on such matters. In light of this, the author has placed a significant focus on injury prevention, identification, treatment, and recovery.
Other key topics include: selecting your first dog; foundational training principles; kennel management; breeding, raising, and training puppies; exercise routines and race preparation; nutrition; health checks, minor issues, and major illnesses; foot care; injury recovery and the art of massage, and ultimately, care for retired greyhounds.
Darren Morris, the author, has been passionate about greyhounds since childhood. His journey started at the tender age of seven when he began attending dog races. After leaving school at sixteen, he gained experience working in kennels and later with champion trainers. Upon relocating to Hull at twenty, he became the youngest professional greyhound trainer in the country. Over the following years, he continued training greyhounds. His career, spanning over two decades, has focused particularly on understanding greyhound injuries and their significant influence on a racing dog.
