Weimaraner Training: Stubborn Dogs And How To Manage Them

The weimaraner dog breed is known for being
exceptionally intelligent and athletic breed
nevertheless, they have to undergo extensive
exercise and good weimaraner training to make
sure that they act in ways acceptable by humans.
Additionally, training can also prevent and treat
several dog issues including your pet's stubborn
behavior. Since this breed has a reputation of
becoming very stubborn, it would be best to
learn more about this issue to prepare yourself
for whatever may happen as you go along.

Aside from inherent characteristic, a dog's
stubborn behavior may also come from the owners
themselves - physical penalty, harsh treatment
and owner's incompetency in establishing himself
as the pack leader to name a few.

First step in dealing with this issue is to
trace back situations wherein your pet tends to
be very stubborn. Is he usually stubborn or the
habit only occurs during a select few instances?
If your dog obeys other commands you are giving
but tends to disobey some, there might have some
reasons behind this. Like for instance if he
won't go outside during potty breaks, it could
be that he has an unpleasant experience in that
area like having to stay there alone on extended
length of time. If that is the case, the best
thing to do is to work on the major cause of the
problem. So if he is terrified of going outside
by himself, accompany him and make his stay
there a fun experience. In no time, he'll become
accustomed to being there on his own knowing that
there is actually nothing to be terrified of.

If he tends to be stubborn at all times, reason
could be that you haven't successfully
established dominance over your dog. Train your
dog that you're the leader he must obey and
respect by not giving in to all his whims and by
being the first in doing almost everything such
as walking out of the door and eating. When
going out for walks, be sure that he's
positioned beside or behind you and given that
you are the leader, you're the one who decides
when and where to go. If he pulls on the leash
while walking, jerk the leash firmly and stop
walking until he stops pulling.

Physical punishment isn't highly recommended
during weimaraner training nevertheless, it is
of utmost importance to correct your dog should
he made a mistake. But be mindful when giving
corrections for it should be executed on a
timely approach, never two hours or even an hour
after the deed is done. Keep an eye on your dog
and if you catch him in the act of doing the
mistake, correct him promptly. If you see him
urinating inside the living room, distract him
at once and take him to the place selected as
his toilet and let him finish there. By
rewarding him each time cases like this happens,
he will eventually associate the urinating on
that area with rewards and exciting experience
therefore encouraging him to do it there next
time.

Maintaining eye contact with your pet and giving
commands in a firm, deep voice can also help you
deal with your stubborn dog.
