Proper Weimaraner Training A Must For Success With This Breed

Weimaraners are beautiful and powerful animals

. Originally bred for hunting, they were used to help in the pursuit of large and aggressive animals. While they are an attractive and sturdy breed, they are not intended as a passive house pet. This breed has a tendency to personality disorders which can range from mild to excessive. While not every dog will show these disorders, those that do can be successfully controlled. Proper Weimaraner training can help result in a great pet.

In order to keep this active dog happy, vast amounts of exercise is absolutely necessary. They love to chase a ball, remaining ready to play after the owner has tired. It is not surprising that they can be prone to over excitement, becoming exuberant and overly jumpy. They are not recommended pets for any home with small children.

Weimaraners have a natural drive to catch and kill prey. They will relentlessly pursue and try to kill smaller animals such as squirrels. Due to this natural trait, it is recommended that they not be kept in households with smaller dogs or cats. Keep in mind that this is an expected trait in an animal bred for the hunt.

Another common trait is the possessiveness of property and owner, as they were bred as guard dogs. This can become overly excessive, and lead to unexpected aggression towards any unfamiliar person or situation. This can be a serious problem for busy homes with visitors. Teaching the dog to be less aggressive can be done with proper training.

Separation anxiety is another common trait of the Weimaraner. They should never be kept in a kennel or left outdoors for extended periods. This behavior can become neurotic, and can also lead to the destruction of furnishings and other items. This can be prevented by leaving the dog alone for only very short periods at a time, and of course, exercising frequently. Failure to do this can result in a ruined home and quite possibly, injuries to the dog.

Extensive training can help socialize and make these dogs more manageable. They are quick and eager to learn and love to please their owners. Training strengthens the bond between dog and owner, and can help in building a strong, trusting relationship.

The keys to successfully having a Weimaraner in your home are exercise, socialization and obedience. If an owner is willing to work with this handsome and intelligent breed, it can be a loyal and wonderful pet.
