Does it seem as though your puppy is going grows every day? It is a startling fact that they look very adult-like by the time they reach four months; however, they are just a very high-powered puppy. They chew, they puppy-bite, and they get into everything. They jump up on everyone and everything. Some of them may seem to have an issue with hearing--it can be selective. You can feel all that you have done thus far unraveling. You might feel a bit overwhelmed. Or if things are textbook perfect, you find yourself in a good place. They have a measure of compliance, and they want to please you. Nevertheless, wherever you find the process now is the time to make sure your relationship is solid. They need to respect you. They must desire to please you. Solid leadership skills go a long way toward getting the result you want. Winning the Weimaraner's chess match is more involved than making all the right moves. This breed is tricky--much of what happens is involved in their perception of the environment, the human element and if they can gain the upper paw.
By this time, the Weimaraner is wearing you down. They can pull you along on the lead. It is then you start asking everyone's advice. All too often folks heed advice we don't believe is in the best interest of the Weimaraner. It might mean a reprieve, but it doesn't deal with the underlying issue of who is running the show. We readily admit that the Gentle Leader, the Head halters, and the front-hooking harnesses will not let the Weimaraner pull; however, it doesn't break them of pulling. Some folks end up using what they more recently call a chain (but used to be called a choke collar. Other folks [refer using the prong collar. Neither of these addresses the underlying issue either.
There is a device when used correctly that can bring compliance. It is humane. It mimics the gentle correction a mother gives her pup--a slight nip (pinch) on the neck. This device is not meant to be used for yanking them harshly. That should never be necessary. When used properly it is like magic. Expect results (as well as compliance) in turn amazing things can happen. Beyond this collar, there are few other things you need to think about adding for the adolescent Weimaraner. We hope you find these suggestions helpful.
