Saluki will only respond to kindness, the advice on here is spot on, I have had mine from 3 moths old and she was very timid ( She is still wary of strangers) I take her out with me as much as possible not just working but the mrs takes her if she walks to Tesco. Game fairs and markets are brilliant as there are lots of smells and noise.
Never try to force her to do anything, take your time and when you get it right she will be a pleasure to own.
