This is for you if any of these sound familiar…

  • You’ve just welcomed your first sighthound and want to get it right, or your sighthound has been living with you a while and things are still feeling tricky.

  • You’ve found yourself thinking “this sighthound feels different to my others, and I’m not quite sure what to do”

  • You sometimes feel unsure whether you’re doing the right thing for your dog

  • You’re experiencing training challenges that feel inconsistent or unclear

  • You want to feel more confident, more knowledgeable, and more secure in the choices you make

Or

  • Generic training advice hasn’t quite fitted your sighthound.

  • You want practical skills but also want to understand the why behind them

  • Your dog seems to understand sometimes, but things don’t always translate to everyday life

  • You enjoy learning and want a way to spend quality time with your sighthound.

    You are not alone

“Insight Hounds isn’t just about training, it’s about strengthening your bond and enjoying time with your sighthound in a friendly, supportive space.”

The session will include:

• Exploring how sighthounds learn, think and respond differently, so you can work with their natural traits rather than feeling like you’re constantly working against them.

• Practical tools from the Sighthound Skills toolkit, giving you clear, structured ways to build skills instead of guessing what to try next.

• Gaining insight into confidence, communication and connection, helping you understand what your dog is telling you and how to respond supportively.

• Learning how to grow what you practise and apply it in real life, so training doesn’t stay in theory but becomes part of everyday routines.

This isn’t about perfect behaviours.
It’s about understanding the dog in front of you and knowing how to support them.

“We were out of ideas with our lurcher’s recall until Clare helped us find the right strategies, now we have a clear plan that works!”

Hi - I’m Clare

Here at Insight Hounds, we work with all sighthounds, specialising in ex-racing greyhounds. Many of the dogs I work with are adopted, each with their own history, personality, and needs. Whether your sighthound is newly adopted or has been part of your family for years, I’m here to help you build confidence, communication, and connection together.

I started Insight Hounds because I know firsthand how incredible, sensitive, and unique these dogs are. Sighthounds don’t fit into a one-size-fits-all approach to training, they think differently, learn differently, and need training that truly understands them.

My goal is to help families understand, communicate, and connect with their sighthounds using kind, science-based training that builds confidence for both dogs and humans. Whether it’s helping an ex-racer settle into home life, working on recall, loose lead walking, or confidence-building, I tailor training to your dog’s needs and your lifestyle.

No sighthound is ever too old to learn. Whether it’s your first or your fourteenth, every dog is unique, and we’re here to help every step of the way.

📍 Based in Shustoke, UK, with in-person and online training options.

“We joined the Introduction Course for recall help and ended up loving it so much that we now attend weekly, Baby’s training (and our confidence) has grown so much!”
