Default RE: 2yr Weim needs to learn

I agree and think foremost its important to understand that even tho a Weim is a versatile dog,it is bred with 'pointing instincts'..Therefore your field training should be structured for a 'pointing' dog.

If there isnt enough upland oppturnities there to satisfy your hunting desires,then concentrate on water training for waterfowl.1 suggestion I do make to anyone who has a versatile dog is concentrate on 1 form of training weither it be uplands or waterfowl.To much back and forth between the 2 often confuses a dog and it takes longer for a dog to understand being taught 2 things at the same time.

By all means join a NAVHDA club if theres one within reasonable distance or if theres a any kind of dogclub that does training,1 on 1 training goes a long way..Theres also many many books and vidoes out there that are helpful.

If you want a reasonable successful hunting dog,keep in mind it takes a certain amount of time and training and the training should be done in steps to assure the dog understands what its been taught in 1 stage before moving onto the next.Take your time go 1 step and atime and dont rush things.Every dog is different and learns and devlopes at its own pace and as a trainer its important to remember that at all times.Good luck,take care,Paul..
