121 BEHAVIOUR CONSULT
In the initial behavioural consultation via zoom we can discuss in great depth all the problems you are having with your dog. I can ask any follow up questions and we can really get the bigger picture for your dog and ensure we are setting those foundations up correctly.
Solid foundations will make the rest of the process run smoothly. By collecting information on your dog as an individual, I can tailor the activities and training to your dog- meaning far more chances of success compared with what could be offered without that information.
By having this session on Zoom it is easy to incorporate into your schedule and i can see your dog in their normal environment. Once we have had a chat and got all of the information out there, we can then begin on the behaviour plan and training you will need to do.
I will demo you activities with one of my dogs live, or use youtube to show you an activity. You can then train live with me so that your dog understands the task and I can coach you through this.
Your behaviour plan will outline any changes you may need to make to your routine, feeding changes, exercise tweaks and how the plan will take your dog going forward. Your plan is unique to you and your dog and you will receive a copy of that after the session.
2 X 121 ZOOM FOLLOW UPS
Following your Behavioural Consult you will get to work on the plan I have given you. You should have lots of tasks and homework to complete.
Following this we will do 2 x follow up sessions. This is so that you can continue to work and keep progressing with your Whippet.
The initial consult is the bare foundations, but we want to build on these to get the outcomes your looking for.
During these sessions we can problem solve, as well as work on new skills and fine tune the issues your having.
These sessions are invaluable to help your Whippet keep up the progress made in the first session.

FAQ
WHAT TRAINING METHODS DO YOU USE?
Zara only uses training methods that are modern, positive and science based. This means we find what motivates your dog and use that.
For many dogs that be food, for others that may be toys, play or space.
Outdated training techniques are NOT used or recommended. Meaning Zara will not work with : choke chains, shock collars, water sprays, citronella, lead corrections or shouting.
DON'T YOU NEED TO SEE MY DOG REACTING?
I am often asked this and - No I honestly don’t need to see your dog reacting to triggers!
Reactivity is a common issue and the problem is that very often after a reactive episode, your dog will not be in a frame of mind to learn. Making actual training much much harder.
The goal of training is to ensure you and your dog are not stressed- so having the training via zoom ensures that this dogs are relaxed and in a frame of mind to learn what it is we DO want them to do.
WHY ZOOM?
Online training is convenient and easy to fit into your schedule.
It can be ideal as it ensures your Whippet is not too distracted and they can concentrate.
This means they can learn the skills required and you can take in all of the information without being stressed by handling your reactive Whippet while trying to pay attention.
Online consultations are also not weather dependent - a big bonus for our sometimes fair weathered Whippets!
