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:

Thanks in advance!
Sincerely
Cecilia Johansson
