Barking, Lunging, Reactive Dog? Support Is Here
If your whippet is barking or reactive on walks, your 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. Reactivity is one of the most common enquiries I recieve.
Thankfully with the RIGHT support you and your dog
CAN enjoy calmer walks and have a happier Whippet.
With Support from a breed expert who has lived with reactive whippets.

Why Whippet Wonders for Reactivity?
Breed Specific Techniques
Sighthounds react differently and respond differently to training. Generic reactivity advice often falls flat with whippets, everything here is built around how they actually think and learn.
Tailored To Your Dog
Not a one-size-fits-all programme. The plan is built around your specific dog,their triggers, their history, their personality because what drives reactivity varies enormously from dog to dog.
Modern & Force Free Methods
No harsh methods, no flooding, no confrontational techniques. Whippets are sensitive approaches that create pressure make reactivity worse, not better. Every method used is kind, modern, and effective.
Lived Experience
Zara has worked through reactivity with her own whippets including Marley and Arkle. That real-world experience means she quickly understands what life with a reactive whippet actually looks and feels like day to day.

"Really feel well supported"
I contacted Zara at Whippet Wonders for advice regarding Joy who had become reactive to other dogs. We signed up for Zoom 121 and had our initial session. Zara was really helpful, actively listening and giving clear and useful advice. Following the initial call we received a full report, work sheets and videos, which are great to follow. Joy is certainly showing signs of improvement and I really feel well supported knowing I’m able to contact Zara for advice in between sessions when needed.

" I've learnt a lot of techniques to help handle situations"
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.

"Zara is always there to answer any questions "
Zara definitely knows her whippets. I did a 1-2-1 with her over zoom & her advice, tips and support has been invaluable to help reduce Milo’s reactivity. We are still work in progress but 4 weeks in I can already see results. Just knowing Zara is always there to answer any questions I have or offer support is priceless. I recommend her 100%

Practical tasks and setting up for success
Do You Need To See The Reactive Behaviour?
No. The goal of the sessions is to set your dog up for success, not to recreate the problem. If you have video clips of any relevant behaviour that's useful, but the focus is entirely on understanding your dog and building a plan, not watching them struggle.
Can you work with me if I'm outside the UK?
Absolutely! All sessions are via zoom and owners worldwide have gone through the package — from the US, Australia, Europe, and beyond. There's no barrier to getting support wherever you are.
My dog has been reactive for years, is it too late?
It's never too late! Long-standing reactivity may take more time and consistency than something that's just developed, but it absolutely can improve. The approach is the sam, build a plan, and work through it systematically.
Do you charge extra for multi-dog households?
No. There's no additional charge for households with multiple dogs. Sessions cover the most pressing issues across all your dogs.
What if my dog isn't food motivated?
Food motivation is a common concern and something we'll cover in your session. Very often it's about how food is being used rather than the dog genuinely not being motivated, there are reliable strategies for this.
How long do I have to use the sessions?
Sessions should be used within 6 months of booking. This gives you plenty of time to make a start and see progress between your consult and follow-up. You have life time access to the online self paced course.
