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.

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.
Training My reactive Whippet Arkle who became reactive after being attacked.
"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 4 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.

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.
