Default RE: 2yr Weim needs to learn

Boy. I don't know where to start here, Bloodstayn. A Weim is a pointing breed and the cardinal sin of a pointing dog is flushing birds. Does your dog show signs of pointing instincts?

I've owned and trained my own dogs for close to 50 years and I hate to say this, but your dog fits the profile of the really bad ones I've seen-- an adult dog with no training and an owner that needs as much help as the dog.

I'd find a local pro and ask him to evaluate the dog for hunting. Let him guide you in the right direction. Training bird dogs isn't as difficult as a lot of folks make it out to be, but it's a hands on art. One you can't learn over a BBS.

Good luck. Check back in if you can find a pro and let us know your progress.
