A free session designed for those in the early days, weeks and months after adopting a greyhound or any sighthound.

It gives you tips and sighthound-specific skills to support you and your dog in those early stages, help set you up for success, and give you the opportunity to ask questions.

This is for you if any of these sound familiar…

  • You’ve just welcomed your first sighthound and want to get it right.

  • You’ve found yourself thinking “this sighthound feels different to my others, and I’m not quite sure what to do”

  • You sometimes feel unsure whether you’re doing the right thing for your dog.

  • Things feel a little uncertain or different to what you expected

  • You’d like some guidance and a space to ask questions

    I’ve thought all of these myself.

    Before I was a dog trainer, I adopted my first five greyhounds without the knowledge I have now.
    And now, as a trainer, these are conversations I have with adopters all the time.

    You are not alone!

It’s why I created my Newly Adopted Greyhounds and Sighthounds Session

Many Rehoming centres offer great support this is designed an extra layer of adoption support for you.

Hi - I’m Clare

Here at Insight Hounds, we work with all sighthounds, specialising in ex-racing greyhounds. Many of the dogs I work with are adopted, each with their own history, personality, and needs. Whether your sighthound is newly adopted or has been part of your family for years, I’m here to help you build confidence, communication, and connection together.

I started Insight Hounds because I know firsthand how incredible, sensitive, and unique these dogs are. Sighthounds don’t fit into a one-size-fits-all approach to training, they think differently, learn differently, and need training that truly understands them.

My goal is to help families understand, communicate, and connect with their sighthounds using kind, science-based training that builds confidence for both dogs and humans. Whether it’s helping an ex-racer settle into home life, working on recall, loose lead walking, or confidence-building, I tailor training to your dog’s needs and your lifestyle.

No sighthound is ever too old to learn. Whether it’s your first or your fourteenth, every dog is unique, and we’re here to help every step of the way.

📍 Based in Shustoke, UK, with in-person and online training options.

“We joined the Introduction Course for recall help and ended up loving it so much that we now attend weekly, Baby’s training (and our confidence) has grown so much!”
