The School For Whippets
You may have researched your whippet to get the perfect dog for you, only to find that no one you reach out to seems to "get them" and their unique behaviour when you need training.
You need some support with your whippets training, but are met with being told "they're too stubborn to train"
Or worse, you tried taking them to group classes and your whippet just spent the whole time pulling, spinning and circles and giving up after a few goes of each exercise!
Whippets are unique, but that doesn't mean they can't be trained!
The School For Whippets provides everything you need to train your Whippet from home. Whether a tearaway teen, a puppy who needs foundations or a Reactive dog.
Whippet Expert with over 14 Years Experience
5 Star rated with clients Worldwide.

Train Your Whippet From Home
Local classes may be stressful, overwhelming, or simply not designed for whippets. They may not enjoy the journey there or the slippery flooring!
You want a happy, confident companion who can enjoy life with you – on walks, at cafés, around friends and family – while keeping their whippet spirit intact.
That’s exactly why I created The School For Whippets– a complete hub of training designed for this incredible breed. With Over 300 Lessons for everything from recall, life skills, to teaching tricks.
Perfect for Whippets, whippet crosses, lurchers, sighthounds and similar breeds.
Stop Stressing, Get Clarity
Stop feeling stressed, embarrassed, or overwhelmed about your dog’s behaviour. Stop the googling for advice that just isn't applicable to your pointy nose friend!
Gain confidence in knowing exactly what to do and how to do it with practical video lessons so you can enjoy life with your whippet. Whether they are a puppy, reactive or just a teen that needs taming.
Create a calmer, happier home life – and enjoy life with your whippet with lessons tailored for your whippet.
Build a stronger bond with your dog through fun, positive training and get back to an enjoyable life!
From a Whippet Expert who has shared her life with 4 Whippets over 14 years!
We are so happy to have found Zara! Zara and her knowledge of whippets is incredible. We attended a few online classes and signed up to the School for whippets and saw massive improvements in the behaviour of our whippet Cream. She is easy to understand and breaks the training into bite size concepts so they are very easy to follow and do on your own. I don’t think our dog would be the same well behaved dog she is today without Zara’s help.
Zara is excellent and was so helpful with our Whippet puppy - highly recommend her to anyone looking for puppy or ongoing training. So much great Whippet specific advice that helped us raise a really confident dog.
I find Zara’s advice on whippet training very helpful and believable because she has whippets herself and so totally understands their behaviours. I haven’t found anyone else nearly as good as her 😊

Zara just GETS whippets more than any other trainer I have worked with. We're already seeing results!
Does online training really work?
Yes! Whippet Wonders has been helping clients online for over 5 years!
The lessons are bite-sized, practical and easy to follow – plus you have support whenever you need it.
How Long Do I Have To Subscribe For?
The subscription is ongoing until you cancel. You can cancel anytime by emailing or via your online login details. Once cancelled you will continue access until the end of your paid period, when your next payment would have been due.
Is This Live Training?
No. This is not an in person or online 121 via zoom. You get access to your lessons so you can login and learn anytime you want to.
Do I need to have trained my dog before?
Whether you have trained your dog before or not, does not matter! You don't need any experience and exercises are demo'd from the basics upwards.
What is the difference between the School and an Online Course?
An online course you buy and it is yours to keep. Whereas with the School you are renting the courses while you are a member. When you cancel, you lose access to them. The School is a cost effective way to access all the training you need for just £25 a month.
What If I am not in the uk?
A large portion of School For Whippets members are not uk based! Wherever you may be you can sign up and login, meaning you have access to Whippet training advice.
Specific Issues?
For Tailored advice and a plan to get your Whippet started on the right paw steps or back on track check out our 121 training sessions via zoom! These can be a great way to get started if you have specific issues, then go onto check out our general training!
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers To Frequently Asked Questions
I live in another country, can you work with me?
Whippet Wonders has worked with clients around the world. Everywhere from USA, Australia, Denmark, Italy, Spain, France and more! Zooms can take place from anywhere in the world and you can buy courses from anywhere too.
Don't you need to see my dogs "bad behaviour" In person?
During a zoom I don't need to see your dog doing the wrong behaviour, our goal is to set your dog up for success. This would be the same as if I were in person. If you have any relevant video clips, that is handy, but our focus is on solutions and moving forward!
Do you work with other Breeds?
I work with Whippets, Whippet mixes, Italian Greyhounds, Lurchers, Bedlington Whippets - anything that is a bit "sighthound-y". I can be persuaded to work with other breeds in some circumstances.
Do you charge extra for multi dog households?
There is NO extra charge for households with multiple dogs. We can cover the most pressing issues for your multidog household in each session.
What if my dog is not food motivated?
If your dog is not a super foodie, don't worry! Motivation is a tricky topic, but very often it is about how we use food and we will cover strategies during your 121 zoom session.
Would a course or 121 suit me best?
Self paced courses or the School For Whippets are ideal if you are motivated and able to work on your own. Perfect if you are pressed for time. While 121's can be ideal if you need a plan, structure or help with a specific problem. Get in touch if you are unsure.
