Reactive To Responsive
Barking, Lunging or Overall Reactive Whippet?
There is Help!
Whippets and similar breeds or mixes can be quick to react, sensitive, and struggle with high pressure approaches. This is why they thrive with training that empowers & motivates them .
It can be isolating for us as owners and confusing to gather the right information with a world of conflicting tips everywhere online and chatting with friends or colleagues.

Reactive To Responsive
Your current walks may be stressful, and you may even not want to walk your dog or be able to for fear of their reactions or other people's judgements.
It can be difficult to know what to start with to help your dog. You may have even already tried techniques but not seen the results you were looking for and feel deflated.
However, it does not have to be this way.
I have been there with one of my own Whippets.
You CAN make changes to create calmer walks and have a happier Whippet.

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.
