Meet Rocket!

Breed:
Whippet
Age:
6
Location:
West Sussex, South East
Bio:

Rocket, a highly trainable and clever Whippet for hire, stands out for her eagerness to learn and her keen responsiveness to commands. With clicker training as her foundation, Rocket is always excited when it’s time to work. As soon as she hears the familiar clicker sound, she’s ready to spring into action, anticipating new tasks. Her go-to trick is the “middle” position, often offered when she senses a learning opportunity.

Affectionately nicknamed “Indiana Jones” for her adventurous spirit as a puppy, Rocket was always exploring, whether it was darting through tunnels or clambering up trees. Her energetic and driven nature defies the typical whippet stereotype. She loves tugging games, fetching toys and balls, playing football, and chasing flirt poles. Her drive has led her to success in various activities, including flyball, basic agility, and hoopers.

Rocket’s weekends are filled with dog shows and lure coursing competitions, where she has earned accolades, including winning Best Lure Coursing Dog in Show at two club events. She’s also qualified for Crufts, showcasing her versatility and excellence in multiple disciplines. Her love for posing makes her a natural model, effortlessly striking a pose with commands like “up up” or “paws up” when she’s on set. Rocket’s enthusiasm can sometimes lead to amusing moments, like the time she jumped into a kiosk after hearing the word “up!”

Beyond competitions and modelling, Rocket the Whippet for hire serves as a therapy dog for Canine Concern. She regularly visits a dementia home, where residents adore her gentle demeanour and enjoy watching her perform tricks. Her small size allows her to interact with bed-bound residents, making her a beloved companion to all.

Rocket’s combination of intelligence, charm, and calm behaviour makes her a standout companion, both on set and in everyday life.
