I decided to sign up to Zara's reactive to responsive course, as my boy can be reactive to other dogs and animals. In the 4 week course I've learnt a lot of techniques to help handle situations, that previously I'd have struggled to manage. I know we've got a way to go, but Zara's techniques are definitely helping. If anyone is struggling and needs help, please reach out to Zara. She's lovely and has a lot of experience and knowledge about our pointy nose buddies.
I recently attended a virtual recall workshop with Zara at Wagging Wonders - it was invaluable and has really set us up for training our whippet to be the best he can possibly be. She is extremely knowledgeable and has great learning resources and games. Highly recommend!
Having just completed an online 4 week Reactive to Responsive course with Zara, I can honestly see the difference it has made already. I have learned so much about my dog’s behaviour and body language, including my own on our walks! The sessions were small in size so I knew that Zara was really engaging with me as a client and observing my dog individually to understand his needs. Myself and Odin feel much more relaxed on walks together and I’m looking forward to enabling him to become even more happier and more confident!
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 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.
