None but there are several recommended schemes that the Kennel Club recommends which can be found here.
The Azawakh is wary and aloof with strangers, and as a guarding dog, their role is to bark to alert and to be aware of what is going on around them. They are curious and incredibly observant, taking their time to assess new people, only becoming affectionate and even goofy when they know a person extremely well. With family they are loving and intelligent companions, ready to work with their people either as a guarding watch dog or as a hunter – and in the pet home, these needs must be taken into consideration. They do not do well alone, or if left under exercised or bored.
