Weimaraner Club of WA

Weimaraners can be easy to train, but they can be stubborn. The best way to train a Weimaraner is a firm, gentle approach, but as a general rule, consistent, lifelong training is a must for a Weimaraner. If you get slack with ground rules, a Weimaraner can, and will, take advantage of that! 

Which ever way you look at it, Reward Based Training (also known as positive reinforcement) will help you get the best out of your Weimaraner. We recommend researching, understanding the benefits and adopting this practice when training your Weimaraner. 

Early Socialisation of your puppy is key!

It is HIGHLY recommended exploring your local dog club (non breed specific), as it's important for your puppy to learn and be socialised around other breeds, in a structured environment. We cannot recommend enough the importance of early socialisation and training for your Weimaraner puppy. This is a highly intelligent breed who LIVE to LEARN and who are lifelong learners.
