The Sighthound Guy Bewertungen 

Don was incredible friendly, insightful and loves dogs! We left our Bedlington whippet Blue with him for a weekend to help improve his recall training and condition him to an e-collar. When we picked him up you could already tell he was a lot more engaged and responding to calls to come back. Don provided regular, detailed video updates whilst we were away, which allowed us to see how blue was getting on.

We’re only starting a new journey with recall training for blue, but Don has set us up perfectly and I’d recommend him to anyone with a stubborn Sighthound!

I contacted the sighthound guy for advice having bought my first Italian greyhound, hoping for some one to one training. While he told me puppy training wasn’t something he offered we continued to have a lengthy conversation about training tips for this specific breed.
Incorporating his advice into our training routine has been so helpful and I am very grateful for his willingness to share tips with no gain.

Brilliant dog trainer. Poppy really enjoyed her board and train! He was very knowledgeable and experienced and now we can let our previously very stubborn sight hound off lead anywhere!

I first saw the sighthound guy on instagram. Amazing and so comforting to see what can be done with these types of dogs. We have always had Lurcher’s and recall was always an issue once the prey drive kicked in. Contacted him and he was so helpful. The advice he has given us means we now feel very confident when we let our pup off the lead. Thanks again!

Hugely grateful! Don really helped us with his knowledge and generous advice. Highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The sight hound guy is a truly lovely, knowledgeable, kind person!

After finding his page on Instagram, I binge-watched every video and after commenting on one with a question about what would be best for my on-lead reactive whippet, he answered thoroughly, sent me more information and offered a call to talk it through. Even when I said I couldn't be a potential client as I live too far away, he didn't mind spending 20 minutes with me talking through my issues.

He really understands sighthounds and gave me loads of valuable tips which I have been putting into practice. I am trying to be calm and stop scanning for threats! It's a work on progress but getting better!

I wish I lived in London and my dog could join his pack!

From the moment we met Don, his passion for sighthounds was unmistakable. From the moment we met Don, his passion for sighthounds was unmistakable. It was clear he not only knew the breed inside out, but genuinely cared for every animal in his care.

Pablo stayed with Don for three days to work on recall, and the difference in his behaviour when he came home was remarkable. Don took the time to not only train Pablo, but to teach us how to handle him properly so the progress would stick.
Throughout the stay, Don sent us wonderful videos of the pack out on walks, all running, playing, and clearly having a brilliant time. Pablo loved it so much he protested when it was time to leave, which says it all really.

If you have a sighthound in London and you're looking for a trainer or boarding, Don is quite simply the best. We couldn't recommend him more highly.

In January I took charge or a 2 year old whippet cross. He is a lovely dog and I had managed to work out most of his issues. The only remaining issue was recall. So I still had to keep him on the lead most of the time. I was keen to use a recall collar but was also worried about the process. Frank went to stay with Don and the pack for 3 day. I was worried to leave him but Don sent multiple videos and updates daily. We then had a joint training session. I am now pleased to say that Frank is now off lead all the time the training Don provided and the collar give me the ability to call him back any time. I am really pleased and would highly recommend Don if you have a stubborn sight hound.

We took our four year old Bedlington Whippet to Don for training as her recall has always been patchy and she's had to be on a lead for most of her life. We wanted to get to a point where she could be trusted off lead even with squirrels and other animals to chase. We met Don and his dogs in the park and he recommended we send her to stay with them for the night. For the whole time she was with him, we received updates on how training was going and videos of the dogs all playing together which was really nice to see. Since collecting her a week ago, we have found her to be a different dog. Her recall is so much better to the point that she can be off lead when we go for walks. She is able to play with other dogs and explore without us having to worry that she'll get into trouble chasing foxes or squirrels. It is truly amazing that Don was able to do this - we have been to other trainers who were all lovely, but Don's teaching with his pack has really helped with our sighthound. I would recommend him to anyone with a sighthound who needs some support with training. This has made our lives and our dog's life so much better.

Contacted him via social media with some sighthound/ecollar questions and helped me out! Provided me with a useful post with the information I was looking for :)

I came across Don, the Sighthound Guy, on Instagram and reached out with a few questions — he was incredibly helpful and generous with his time from the start. I then booked him to look after my greyhound, Bart, while I was away.

We did a meet and greet with his pack beforehand, and Bart settled in straight away. Over the past week, Bart has been living with Don and his dogs, learning recall — and it’s genuinely been life-changing.

I can now walk him safely off lead on Wimbledon Common, confident he’ll come back to me and that he’s safe around other dogs too.

I couldn’t recommend Don more highly.

Unfortunately, I don’t have the opportunity to work with him in person because I live in another country, but that was not a problem for him at all. He immediately offered guidance and practical exercises remotely.

You will not get generic advice from Don. His approach is absolutely individual. He will invest his time and knowledge to fully understand your specific situation and what is really going on with your dog.

Don shares his knowledge very generously, and it is clearly rooted in real hands-on experience, not just something learned from a textbook. He brings things back to the natural foundations and the true essence of the relationship between a dog and a human — mutual respect and trust.

And when training is built on that foundation, the results are real, stable, and sustainable in the long run.

I recommend Don with complete confidence.

We left our beloved ex- racer Greyhound for the first time with Don.
We were instantly reassured that we had made the right decision after our first meet up with Don @K9 Exclusive Walks Ltd.
Our dog was relaxed and comfortable at Don’s home, we had regular updates and are beyond thrilled to see our beautiful dog enjoying the company of other dogs and learning some much needed training.
We have already booked in our next dog’s next stay!

Super helpful, knowledgeable & friendly. I got in contact with Don this afternoon about some recall for my sighthound. He got back to me straight away and got on a call with me offering up really insightful advice and training tips. He is very polite and so willing to help, could tell straight away how passionate he is about helping people and dogs. Highly recommend!

I can’t recommend Don enough. He has transformed the behaviour of my 18 month old lurcher. No longer do I have anxiety about his recall/behaviour when out with him. I actually enjoy taking him out now! For training, boarding, anything dog related, I wouldn’t go to anyone else.

Amazing training, daycare and overnight stays recommended by our whippet owner friends, our teenage puppy Pickle has really improved his recall with Don’s training. We’ve learnt lots of new techniques through Don’s videos to continue the training at home too. We’ll keep booking Don for regular overnight stays as Pickle absolutely loves them and they give us time to enjoy weekend activities that are hard to do with a dog! Thanks, Sam and Hollie

So glad we sent our Greyhound, Echo to Don. He's such a kind a reassuring and understanding presence for the dogs, but also for us and our myriad of booking mistakes! Echo loved staying for 5 days with Don and being off the lead with the pack.

Updates were amazing and communication was brilliant. Echo will be going back to Don and loved every second there. Highly recommended.

Don looked after Frida so well! She spent the day and night with Don and ‘the pack’ and from the excellent video updates it looked like she had a wonderful time. Don’s training with her has made a great difference in a very short time, Frida seems much more tuned in to us on her walks.
Thanks Don!

We have met Don a couple of times for training and our dog has stayed over at his house for several nights. We completely trust Don with our dog and he has helped significantly improve some behavioural issues. He has increased our confidence as first time dog owners and look forward to the next opportunity that we have to use his services.

We had a wonderful experience with K9 Exclusive Walks. Don is highly professional, personable, an expert with sighthounds and provided truly excellent care (and advice!) for our greyhound. We also really appreciated his flexibility and going out of his way to accommodate us at short notice and make our dog comfortable, Stitch really benefitted from being part of the pack and Don's expertise, even just over a few days. It was a genuine pleasure dealing with Don and we couldn't recommend K9 any more highly!
