NEWLY REVISED & UPDATED EDITION WHIPPET: The Complete Owners Guide, is a practical, jargon-free guide written for anyone who wants to raise a happy, healthy, well-behaved Whippet. Whether you are bringing home a puppy for the first time or working with an adult dog, this book provides clear, step-by-step guidance covering training, care, health, grooming and behaviour from day one through to senior years. This guide is designed to help you get started immediately, without needing to read pages of theory before taking action. The book focuses on real-world training, care and behaviour rather than theory-heavy or one-size-fits-all approaches. The guidance reflects commonly used methods, while recognising that individual temperament, breeding lines and environment can vary. Written by a highly experienced dog handler and trainer, this book is based on a lifetime of successfully coaching both dogs and owners. In addition, expert breeders and practitioners in canine behavioural psychology, veterinary health and breed-specific ownership have contributed valuable advice and insights. This book is ideal for: First-time Whippet owners Families wanting a well-mannered, well-adjusted house dog Owners experiencing training or behavioural challenges Those interested in both basic obedience, more advanced training and Whippet racing. The book is divided into five clear parts, each of which can be used as a standalone learning module. This allows you to focus only on what you need at any given stage, rather than working through the book from cover to cover. The first section is specifically designed to get you up and running from day one, helping you avoid common early mistakes and unnecessary frustration.
