What we want to achieve is that when the whippet sees a cat when leashed it can be commanded to "wind down" and not bring its owner in jeopardy.
Should be feasible...there is a brain inside that can make a distinction between "game" (unrestricted run/grab) and "cat" (don't be too excited no...
Cats outside is the problem.
Its just this particular whippet, a sister of a sister-brother pair with the dog responding to "negative conditioning" pretty good but the bitch is just too "hard" or eager.

Thanks for the reply L,
Rescue might want to do a kind of pre-check and that is difficult as I will take the pup to the Netherlands.
Basically I hope someone is breeding his/her rabbiting/coursing whippet-grey to get a puppy for own use and seeks a decent home for the rest. New dog will get...
