Whippets are generally easy to train due to their intelligent and eager-to-please nature. They respond best to gentle, positive reinforcement methods such as treats, praise, and play. Harsh methods or negative reinforcement can often lead to a Whippet shutting down or becoming timid. Consistency and patience are key in training sessions to help them understand what is expected. Early socialization and obedience training are recommended to help develop a well-behaved and confident dog. Challenges might arise with recall and off-leash control due to their prey drive, so ongoing training in these areas is essential. Training sessions should be short and engaging to keep their attention focused, and incorporating fun activities can greatly enhance their learning experience.
