For dogs like Whippets, although speed is their core advantage, to maintain this speed, strength is the real point. Therefore, if you want to get a strong Whippet, strength training is absolutely essential. How was Whippet trained from an early age? Two sets of core strength training methods are shared with you!

Weight-bearing resistance training

When carrying out weight-bearing resistance training, Whippet is usually trained to run with weights in order to exercise the muscles of his whole body. If your Whippet feels uncomfortable during training, you can also adjust the weight and distance at any time to accommodate it. Therefore, for Whippet, weight-bearing resistance exercise is a very common training method, and the training effect is also very significant.

Training to overcome elastic resistance In training to overcome elastic resistance, elastic objects (such as springs and rubber bands) are usually used as props to assist in the completion. Although this type of training is also designed to train most muscle groups throughout the body. However, because these training props are relatively simple and the requirements for the venue are not very high, the training is also relatively simple. This kind of training is very important and is very suitable for use in actual combat. Training Points When training dogs, you must pay attention to an effective and reasonable training interval plan. It does not mean that training every day or strict training is the best, but it is necessary to judge based on the results of each training and the state of the dog, as well as the intensity and time of each subsequent training. Otherwise, if the dog is not in good condition and is still assigned too many training tasks, it is very likely that your dog will be injured. When training Whippets, fixed codes and gestures should be used. It is best to designate one person to be mainly responsible for dog training, so that Whippet knows what will be scolded and praised. If it does something, someone scolds someone and praises it, it will make the dog confused and not know whether Do this. More praise and less blame. When a dog completes an action in accordance with your command and is praised, it will show joy and satisfaction that we cannot imagine. Therefore, dogs should be given more praise and encouragement and used as the basic principle in training. Reprimanding too much will make your dog unresponsive. If you train with a praise-to-reprimand ratio of nine to one, your Whippet will show an increasingly strong enthusiasm for learning.
