I recently had an online zoom session with Zara and Arkle which I cannot praise enough. I learned more in 1.5 hours than the 15 puppy classes I have attended. We have been practising the tips and using the follow up guidance and I have seen a real improvement in Phoenix's focus on me on walks. Thank you so much, I would love to do another session to learn more.
Zara is extremely knowledgeable in whippets and that is why we chose her specifically. Our boy responded really well to the things we learnt in the session. Zara used positive reinforcement techniques that really worked well for our whippet. I'd highly recommend her
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%

Zara is a brilliant trainer. She gave us some really helpful things to try with our whippet, re-assured us with what we’re doing and was really kind and friendly. We had a 90 minute call which has given us so much to start with helping our dog and she’s always at the end of the phone to support when needed. We would absolutely recommend Zara for any dog training.
I’ve been following Zara on Facebook for a while, watching her youtube videos. She is a great help, a knowledgeable trainer using kind techniques. I recently started zoom training with her as I’m in another country and am very happy with her help. Highly recommend!
We are in the United States and we have taken our Whippet to a local training club and have tried "standard" training techniques only to find that what works for other breeds doesn't always work with Whippets. We signed up for 121 on Zoom with Zara at Whippet Wonders and we couldn't be happier. Working with someone who has so much knowledge and experience with this breed is wonderful. It feels like she knows our dog without having met him. Maverick's behavior is improving drastically thanks to the strategies from Zara. We highly recommend her services!

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.
