Dear mr/madame,

My name is Cecilia Johansson and I live in Gothenburg,

Sweden. At the moment I take a course in ”dog

behaviour”.

One of the tasks we have been given is to do a project

on our own breed, which in my case is the whippet.

I would be very grateful if you could help me answer

the following questions:

1.How do you think one should train a whippet to

achieve a good basic obedience and what should you

think of?

2.If I was a ”dog instructor” and was going to train a

whippet, what would I have to know about the breed and

it’s characteristics, and what is the difference

between a whippet and other dogs?

3. How do you train a ”race”/lure coursing -whippet

for the best result and what should you think of?

4.To activate a dog means that the dog should work

with its brain. What is a good way to activate a

whippet?

5.Enrichment means that the dog should be given the

opportunity to act according to its natural behaviour.

This should take into consideration the dog’s breed,

gender and personality. What enrichment do you think

is best for a whippet?

6.What kind of reward do you think suites a whippet

best?

7.Which problem behaviours do you think is most common

for the whippet?

8.What diseases are most common to the whippet?

9.Is there anything else you think one should know

about when living with a whippet?

I would be very grateful if you could take the time to

answer some of my questions.

Of course you are also welcome to contact me:

by e-mail: ciccijohansson@yahoo.se

Thanks in advance!

Sincerely

Cecilia Johansson

& Barney the whippet

Of maybe she's just asking for the benefit of peoples experience (which will probably differ between people/books/papers ect) so that she can do a good project?

I'm with poeta on this one. I can see what you mean, noo, but a lot of those questions aren't to do with experience - they are fact-based and could be accessed by some pretty basic research.
