Get her a puppy collar so that she gets used to the feel of one, she will scratch at it for a while, but will soon forget she has it on. When she has, attatch a lead to it and let her go around with it trailing on the floor, occaisionally pick it up so she gets used to you controlling her. Get her to come to you pulling very gently and give her a tit bit. She will by the time she an go for little walks be walking properly on a lead.

Don't buy costly collars until she is fully grown, then you can get her a proper greyhound collar. Coats, again, wait until she is grown before buying a coat, do you know anyone who could make her a puppy coat?

i always found with my dogs the younger you put a collar on them the quicker they get used to wearing one, like bretha said id start with a normal collar, then when she is a few months old, change to a fish tail collar. i wouldnt worry to much about coats yet, Good luck with her

depending own smaile she is you can start in houes with a light cat coller thats what i do just raid the £1 shops as theygrow out of them so fast i allso fined i keep a coller on them all the time for the first year ina nd outside but just use a lightweight one in the houes it gives you something to grab if the dog makes a bolt for somthing and put there proper coller on for waliking out
