Standard Weimaraner Obedience Tips
Training needs to be a pleasant and enjoyable experience for both you and your Weimaraner. If you’re not in the best mindset for training, don’t even begin. Always reward the Weimaraner for following your commands expeditiously! A prize is anything that your Weimaraner wants and is happy to earn. Snacks are a great prize but other treats could be verbal admiration and toys. Many brief sessions are typically more effective than one long one. Training shouldn’t involve any negative comments or punishment. There should be no yelling, no hitting or smacking, no leash jerking on choke chains or collars, and absolutely no electricity! Every training session needs to be enjoyed and positive with praise for jobs well done.
