Training Whippets is quite simple. All that’s required is patience, dedication and 5 simple techniques and you’ll break them in successfully.
Below are five Super Suggestions for how to teach your Whippet successfully:

If your Whippet can’t follow and understand your commands, never push him. Whippets are not as smart as us, they take longer to learn. What you should accept is that they might not easily follow your instructions in the first session, it takes repeated attempts to break in the Whippet .

You should give them food or snacks in order to reward the Whippet, but please you do not want to take it too far.
3. Teach commands one at a time. Make sure to train him on 1 skill after the next. In the event he cannot absorb it, just stay on that skill only because trying new skills will most likely just confuse the Whippet. Start with the basics.
4. When you are teaching commands, you must keep your inflection pleasant so that your Whippet will cheerfully obey the teachings. Whippets respond to a low and coaxing voice. If you ever scream, he may become nervous and startled.
5. Train the Whippet in various locations. If you keep your Whippet in one particular space like your home, he will not be able to adapt to a new environment with different people. Take him to a park or throughout your neighborhood. This can aid your Whippet associate with more breeds and people.
