Talk about timing....here's a comment from a British friend of mine about 
her two dogs:

"We adopted Sally at 10 months old because she had broken a leg and
couldn't be trained to race.   She was my first greyhound and nobody
had told me to keep her on a lead.   I therefore treated her just
like my previous dogs and, after a couple of weeks on-leash, I let
her off in a safe area.   When we wandered too far I hid behind a
tree and she quickly came looking for me (and got a treat).
Sometimes I used to call her and then run away from her.   Also Derek
and I used to stand a good distance away from each other and call her
to and fro (with rewards, of course).

Sally has always liked meeting people and dogs, and she is always
friendly.   When younger she used to love dogs chasing her.

Of course, we treated Roger just the same when we adopted him 4 years
ago.

They have both chased squirrels, rabbits and the occasional deer, but
fortunately nearly all remained unscathed.   We do not encourage
that, and I am now able to stop them from chasing on nearly all
occasions.   When they do chase, they have always returned to us very
quickly."
