Get him checked for a UTI, it could very well be that this is the problem. All that's needed is a urinalysis.

Karen has great advice about the urinalysis. That is the best way to start.
Best of luck!

Greyhounds are on a schedule on the track and at Bills, which is what they are familiar with. Also, dogs who come from the track are not housebroken so a lot of them you have to train like you would a puppy.

We have had her for 2 months and i take her outside every 2-3 when i am home. I read your other post as well and you seem extremely frustrated. You mention that your husband who wanted her wont look at her. This breaks my heart. Since she's doing both in the house, you haven't been successful at defining the place she should be going. When I got Max I took him out on lead into the backyard and took him to the exact same place in the yard each time. I praised the heck out of him when he went in that place. You need to establish this place for her. While lose in the house, watch her closely and if she seems restless, take her out. But truly, if this isn't working for you and your husband please return her promptly to Bill. She will find a new home. Have no doubt about that.

I agree with Heather. This situation sounds very fraught indeed and your greyhound will be picking up these vibes from both of you and could be making her stressed which will interfere with her ability to learn where to toilet.
If you feel you've got to the point where you don't want to carry on with this then the best thing you can do for you, your partner and the greyhound is to take her back.
Sometimes we take on more than we can manage (I know cos I've done this myself) and it's better for everyone including the dog concerned to accept that the best thing to do is return the dog.
It's not good for any of you to be so stressed.

I was wondering that too. Bellafonte, how are things going? Were you able to figure out if there's an infection?
