What training methods do you use?

We use positive reinforcement techniques specifically designed for sighthound behaviour. Our methods are gentle, reward-based, and focused on building trust and obedience. For sighthounds with a high prey drive, we may also incorporate a professional e-collar to ensure reliable recall, helping to keep both your dog and local wildlife safe.

Can you help with recall training for sighthounds?

Yes! We specialise in recall training, which can be particularly challenging for sighthounds due to their prey drive. Our training sessions focus on reliable recall in various environments.

How long are training sessions?

Our training sessions are seamlessly integrated into our walks, ensuring your dog remains highly motivated.

E-Collar Training Methods

For the safety of some high prey drive sighthounds, we are professionally trained to use the EZ Educator e-collar in conjunction with a vocal command. This combination provides a reliable and effective way to train a consistent recall, especially with sighthounds that have a strong chase instinct or can be easily distracted.

The advantages of using the EZ Educator include its precision, adjustable stimulation levels, tone and vibration modes, durability, and user-friendly remote control. These features promote both safety and effective behaviour management.

Do you recommend a tracker device?

I recommend the Tractive GPS tracker for your sighthound. Tractive’s real-time GPS tracking lets you instantly monitor your dog’s location, ensuring you can quickly find them if they stray. Key benefits include:

• Live Tracking: Get location updates every 2-3 seconds.
• Share Tracking with Others: Easily share your dog’s live location with family, friends, or dog handlers through the Tractive app, ensuring everyone can help keep an eye on your dog if needed.

Sighthounds can cover large distances quickly, and having a reliable, shareable GPS tracker provides peace of mind and an added layer of safety for you and those who help care for your dog.

Kibble & Tinned food

We don’t recommend kibble and tinned diets due to their high level of processing, which can result in a lack of essential nutrients, enzymes, and moisture — potentially affecting digestion, coat health, and dental hygiene.

However, we appreciate that these options may be more convenient or cost-effective. That’s why, we provide Millies & Wolfheart, a premium kibble and tinned food brand.

To enrich the meals, we add a sprinkle of our Superfood Topper.
