Recall For Your Whippet
Are You Struggling with Recall?
Do you feel jealous watching other owners walking their dogs offlead. Wishing you could have that with your Whippet?
Maybe you have been told its just a breed thing. Whippets can't be trusted to go off the lead, so stop wasting your time.
But you'd much prefer to be enjoying calm walks without the risk of your Whippet disappearing or someone shouting at you after they have run over to them?
Independent Thinkers
Whippets, Lurchers and Sighthounds are bred to be impulsive and react fast to changes in their environment.
This can make recall a big challenge when they can move at speed, running from you when distracted. They may chase other dogs, people, prey or be distracted in general.
Making all that dancing and cheerleading you were taught at puppy classes pointless! They can't even see you as they career off into the distance.
It doesn't need to be this way though; you can train your Whippet recall, and enjoy freedom with your sighthound.

Can you Teach a Whippet Recall?
One of the biggest frustrations that Whippet owners have is they can be fine with that recall as a pup, but once they hit adolesence, that recall can start to fail.
As their Whippet starts to develop a stronger prey drive, or becomes more sociable with other people and dogs they may range further or run to distractions.
Many people may say you can never teach a whippet recall, however that is because traditional approaches rely on lots of dancing, and making yourself the "most exciting thing ever", which sighthounds tend to find very unappealing! And it is often ineffective!
By training with Whippet Wonders options you will learn the keys to:
-Engagement
-A Reflexive Recall (no more dancing!)
-An Emergency Recall
-Teamwork for prey drive

Review - Kerstin
"Very good whippet trainer. I am attending an self paced online course which really works amazing.
I am really surprised how fast we are seeing results in recalling our whippet.
On top the course is really affordable and there is the option of private consulting for special problems/topics.
I was sceptic with the online course at first but I am really glad that I gave it a try. I can highly recommend Zara as Whippet trainer."
Why Whippet Wonders ?
Having lived with Whippets for 14 years all 4 of my Whippets have been offlead enjoying freedom and the world around them!
I realised quickly that dancing and cheerleading wasn't going to succeed in the face of distractions, instead I taught my Whippets I am a valuable team mate.
Working with Whippet Wonders you get breed experience, knowledge and you can get that anywhere in the world, ideal if you are in a location where the breed is less popular currently.
Whippets won't do because you tell them, they want to understand "What is in it for me?"

Me and my whippet x are taking part in an on line rapid recall course. The info has helped so much as well as the engagement games. We are now starting to get a solid recall. The course was reasonably priced and you can move at your own pace and go back to it at any point. Zara is also on hand for any additional tips you may need help with. Would recommend.
My dog Betty and I attended a Whippet Wonders workshop on Zoom to work on recall. As I live in France and haven’t managed to find an educator for Whippets, this was just what we were looking for! We learnt a multitude of games, in only an hour and a half, it was super well organised and animated by Zara. We received documentation by email shortly after the session explaining everything we’d learnt as well as a cute certificate. I really do feel that this session has had positive effects on Betty and myself and I can already see a massive improvement in her recall and her behaviour in general. Thank you Zara, we’ll be back for more! Highly recommended.
Zara's self paced courses are an invaluable resource for training and for understanding the needs of whippets. Concise and informative content presented in accessible video and ebook format
Why To Train Your Dog Online
Online Dog Training is something that has swept the internet in the last few years. Opening up various aspects of dog training to everyone, wherever they are in the world. Even before setting up myself I found the benefits unbelievable when I was looking for that extra help with Arthur, my young Whippet (Yep even dog trainers reach out to other trainers!) It was convenient, fun and solved the problems we we were having - a teenage dog who lacked any focus! This was 7 years ago, long before so many places popped up!
At Whippet Wonders we offer Live Zoom sessions, Live Zoom Classes and login and learn self paced online courses, giving options for everyone around the world.
Benefits Of Online Dog Training
Convenience
By training online you can train at a time convenient for you and your Whippet. This can be ideal if you have a busy schedule and can't regularly attend an in person session with someone, no getting stuck with your travel sick Whippet in traffic. No need to negotiate with the weather with your Whippet. Get breed expert advice to YOU directly.
Stress Free
Many dogs find going somewhere new overwhelming. Many of my sighthound clients will simply shut down when attending new scary places, meaning that the travel there was pointless as the trainer does not understand the dogs shut down behaviour and often remark the owners are exaggerating! Rather than stressing our your whippet you can train them in an environment they are comfortable.
Train At Your Dogs Level
By working online you can tailor to your dogs level without worrying about what others are doing. It is vital we train dogs foundations in an a location they can learn, what better place than their own home. No distracting new human present to get their attention or scare them either.
Accessible Worldwide
Online training means you are not limited to local training. You can get breed specific training for
your dog to your living room, unlimited by travel.
Ideal for Health Conditions
Online dog training can be amazing for dogs and owners with medical or mental health conditions. I personally suffer with multiple chronic illness which restrict my physical activity, having just been diagnosed with a new one! I fully understand the need for training to be something I can do at a convenient time without travel, this can be essential for some people. In addition I have Arkle, a 4yo Whippet with chronic pain and travelling on a bad pain day would be problematic. Whereas training at home and planning where he is comfortable makes life easi
How Can Whippet Wonders Help Me?
Online dog training ensures you get modern, positive advice that is practical to carry out anytime you need it!
There are 3 main ways you can train online with Whippet Wonders.
1. Zoom Calls - 121
2. Self Paced Courses (and the School For Whippets hub)
3. Group Zoom Classes
They all work slightly differently, depending on what you are looking for. Online 121 sessions are tailored to you and your dog and we chat via video call about the problems you are having and create a tailored plan, backed up with exercises, notes, videos and support. While self paced courses you uby and login & learn anytime on speciifc or varied skills with your adult or puppy Whippet.
The live zoom classes are a great load of fun to train where your dog can learn and for you to learn new skills at a cheaper price than 121!
All of these options are great for reactive dogs who would be overwhelmed in a real life environment or pups who may be too distracted in a group!

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.
