Chart Polski is the most unique in all sighthounds and greyhounds in general. Unlike other greyhounds, the Polish greyhound is highly protective and guards its territory with great dedication. It would, for this reason, be aggressive against strangers, and it would be essential to train them that not all strangers are a threat.
The breed is not so easy to train, and it requires firm continuous training at a very early age. The training should begin at the age of around eight weeks. It is also advisable to take the puppies to a puppy’s kindergarten at a period of about 10-12 weeks. This is the right age to teach the Chart Polski how to socialize.
