​Whippets are a unique breed of dog, affectionate, funny and of course super fast!
Bred to chase these super fast dogs often work their way into the hearts of anyone who meets them.
Their unique nature however can certainly bring a unique set of challenges!
Recall problems, confidence issues, reactivity & separation issues can be a source of conflict between whippets and their human companions.
Whippets have a sensitive nature, which means they can struggle with “traditional” or “old school” training techniques. More punitive methods can create conflict between the Whippet and their owner and create WORSE problems for your dog.
As the popularity of this wonderful breed continues to grow, owners need help- but very often Whippets unique ways need a unique insight into the breed to understand how best to help them and their owners reconnect.
Hi I’m Zara, and I am The Whippet Expert. I have had Whippets for the last 14 years, living with four whippets (and a jrt). After growing up with a collie and a gsd, Whippets were definitley an experience I was not expecting, I fell in love with the breed instantly but also began to work through the many quirks surrounding the breed. It all started with Marley and his reactive ways, we went on a journey to create a happier Marley.
I use modern and force free methods to work with Whippets to help create confidence, and to help Whippets learn to handle their often big feelings when stressed!
I am able to work with owners to quickly identify the cause of their issues and can hone in on what needs to be done to help make changes for a better future with you and your whippet. Having lived with a multi whippet household for years I can help with the unique issues his can pose too.
I offer Behavioural Consultations for issues such as reactivity, guarding, anxieties, lack of confidence. As well as regular training sessions for everyday issues to help create a stronger bond between you and you Whippet. Thanks to technology I can offer these sessions via zoom worldwide! I have consulted with clients all around the world so far. I work with all manner of cases from pups, to recall and host the unique - school for Whippets.
