The harness I have just bought (same as the Pets At Home ones) looks pretty good...the strap that comes up between his legs is padded, and the rest looks like it's pretty strong. Will just have to wait till he grows into it now...lol

Cool...it's like having another baby all over again...constant worrying...lol Does anyone know why they do it? mine seems to do it occasionally while he's asleep, and he did it earlier this afternoon in the garden.

Hi, I have been reading various books about dog training and the various techniques. Does anyone have any experience with clicker training and a whippet? Any advice, books recommended etc... At what age would you start the training...my pup is only 7.5 weeks at the minute. Thanks again

Hi, sorry for all the questions... My 7.5 week old boy keeps doing this weird thing, when it looks like he's shivering, but doesn't feel cold...has anyone any ideas?? He doesn't doing it that often, I just wondered why... Many Thanks

Many Thanks, bought a medium this afternoon...will just have to put it away for a few months till he grows a bit. I will try and take a pic tomorrow. Thanks again...I keep finding more and more questions to ask!

Hi, We have finally got our whippet pup, and have been looking at the different ways in which he can travel in the car. I had been looking at the car harnesses in Pets at Home, but they cost £11.99 so didn't want to rush to get one, as our little man is only 7 weeks old. Yesterday my wife saw...

Hi, We collect our little man tomorrow (Monday), and wondered what a starting schedule looks like with regard to feeding, exercising, eliminating, sleeping, training etc... We are planning on crate training him, and just wondered if anyone had a daily schedule worked out that is a good starting...

Mixing up a BARF diet is not the problem...the problem is physically having the space at the minute for a freezer! We are due to move house (fingers crossed) in about 3 months time, then the space won't be an issue. I am also hugely confused as to where you start with BARF, thats why I wanted...

If I could sort out a freezer, what BARF products are generally seen to be the best...as i would rather purchase it ready to go, rather than have to mix it myself.

It's hard to make a decision...at the minute I am looking into the Burns option, as we simply do not have enough freezer space at the minute. In time (when we can get another freezer) I will have another look at the options. Given that a complete BARF diet is not really an option at the...

If we went for a tinned meat and biscuit option, what brands do people recommend? Does it say on the packets what the mix should be? How much meat against how much biscuit?

Hi, We collect our 8 week old whippet puppy on Monday, and have been trying to decide what food to get for him. The breeder is currently feeding him a BARF diet, and will give us enough food for the first week. We would like to change his food to something else, as we don't really have the time...

Forgot to add another option... what sizes: i. 1" ii. 1.5" iii. 2" Sorry for the questions, but on a limited budget so thought i'd draw on the good advice from this forum. Many Thanks

What is everyone's preference: a. Flat straight collar b. Hound collar (tapered) c. Martingale collar 1. Leather 2. Nylon What age would you consider moving up from a cheap puppy collar? Many Thanks, Matt

Hi, Just wondered what sort of collars people recommend for a whippet, and what ages the collars are suitable from. Any links appreciated... Thanks, Matt

Many Thanks for all the replies...After reading that story I will be leaving the collar off!

Many Thanks for the quick reply...I was mainly curious from a safety point of view

Hi, I should be collecting my new puppy in a couple of weeks time, and have spent the last few weeks doing my research... One thing I am not sure on is as I slowly get my whippet pup used to wearing a collar, should I then be taking it off everytime he goes in his crate, or is it okay to leave...

Many Thanks for the replies... We currently use the St James' vets you mentioned for our cat! We have moved house recently, and I was just seeing if anyone new a good vet for a whippet closer to home (near Ammanford). Hopefully our new addition will like car journeys... Attached is a pic we...
