We’ve hit the big 6-0… and we’re still raging (respectfully) 💅🔥

In this milestone episode of Talking Couch Potatoes, we sit down with Dr Liam Clay – PhD-qualified canine behaviour consultant and Director of AABA Consultants & Future Proof Training Academy – to unpack the science of greyhound behaviour:

❓ What actually happens when a greyhound leaves racing and enters a home?

🤔Why the “3-3-3 rule” needs a little adjustment for ex-racing hounds

👉 What emotional regulation really means

🚫 Why greyhounds aren’t “born to race” and what they’re capable of instead

🤭 Why greyhounds can appear socially awkward (relatable tbh)

✅Why structure + time = success

🐕 And the beautiful truth about what these dogs can become 💖

🔥This conversation is evidence-based, compassionate and eye-opening.

If you’ve adopted, fostered, or are thinking about bringing a greyhound into your life – this episode is essential listening.

And … we also introduce our very first 🐶 Foster of the Fortnight 🐾 Huey, a brindle gentleman waiting patiently for his forever home.

🤯Episode 60 and still fighting for a world where greyhounds live a full life like all other companion pups!
