Because Weims are sensitive creatures and at the same time physically strong, independent thinkers, you may find training to be a challenge. A sense of humor and the ability to accept the unexpected are essential. Training must be started early and be consistent; firm, but gentle; given in short doses; and a life-long process.

Weims are intelligent, hard working dogs who learn quickly what you want them to do. Whether or not they do it, is based on such things as the most enticing-smell-ever coming from somewhere else, the Weim's peculiar sense of humor, or if it might be time for your humility lesson.
