I would recommend the Puppia harness. I have an 18 month old whippet who pulled like mad until we got a harness. He walks great on a harness but had a tendency to slip them. I now have 2 from puppia and he hasn't slipped either. If you are really concerned you can get a link from the harness...

I had Oscar castrated 2 weeks ago, it wasn't an easy decision but his behaviour was anti social and it was recommended by the vet. We were never going to show him or breed from him and he is very much a family pet. (Although I still felt guilty taking him to the vets.)
Anyway I...
Thanks for this, our vet basically said to leave him be unless his behaviour is particularly anti-social.
He's only just about learned to cock his leg and I've read that it is best to wait a while after this but not to leave it too long as it will make no difference.
I wasn't planning to do...
Hi
Oscar is 9 months old and has an increasing obsession with abusing his fluffy toy dog! While his behaviour is limited to his toy (and thankfully not progress to using us) it is beginning to get a bit anti-social.
Has anyone any advice on neutering and if/when is the best time to have it...
Hi folks
Thanks for the advice. I took Oscar to the vets today and he has a slight temperature and a stomach bug. So he's has a shot (which he didn't like at all) and a few pills for the next couple of days.
He came home and ate some rice and fish straight away (I think it was just in case I...
Hi
Many thanks - he is fully vacinated so I would have thought is was parvo as he hasn't got the other symptons.
I've managed to get him to have some yoghurt (although he would only have it if he could lick it off my fingers!) but he has turned his nose up at the chicken which is very unlike...
Hi
My 7 month old whippet has been off his food since Saturday, he's usually a good eater but has had very little each day.
He was sick a couple of times at the weekend (just bile) but hasn't been since, I thought he may have eaten something he shouldn't as he is a bit of a hooverer.
He is...
I had to laugh when I read all the posts it has made me feel so much better.
I have a 5 month old whippet called Oscar, he is like a walking hoover and misses nothing. He jumps on everyone and everything.
House training hasn't been too bad but puppy class was the most humiliating experience...
Hi
My name is Lisa and I have a 4 month old whippet called Oscar, he's our first whippet (our previous dog was a dalmation) and has made himself very at home. He is very lively and loves people and other dogs. He has wowed everyone at puppy class but for his looks rather than his obedience...
