TRAINING & EXERCISE |
The time you will need will depend upon two things:
Weimaraners are generally easy to housebreak and crate train. They like to be clean with their personal habits and Mom will teach them the early lessons. Many breeders begin elementary housebreaking before the puppies leave for their new homes.
Many breeders also begin conditioning exercises to get the puppies used to being handled.
Weimaraners tend to suffer from "Separation Anxiety", causing excessive barking, destructive chewing, etc. when left alone. They must be conditioned at an early age to being left alone for short periods of time DAILY.
Most breeders recommend that you should attend at least puppy socialization and basic obedience classes with your Weimaraner. The exercise will be good for both of you and it will help establish that you are the boss, while teaching both of you useful skills. Besides, it can be fun. Who knows, you may even have the class clown.
