The weimaraner dog breed is known for being exceptionally intelligent and athletic breed however, they must be provided with extensive exercise and good weimaraner training in order to make sure that they behave in ways acceptable by humans. Moreover, training can also prevent and treat several dog problems including your pet’s stubborn behavior. Since this breed has a tendency to become very stubborn, it is best to know more about this issue to prepare yourself for whatever may happen along the way.
Aside from inherent characteristic, a dog’s stubborn behavior may also stem from the owners themselves – physical punishment, harsh treatment and owner’s incompetency in establishing himself as the alpha to name a few.
First step in working with this problem is to trace back instances in which your dog tends to be very stubborn. Is he usually stubborn or the behavior only shows during a select few instances? If your dog obeys other commands you are giving but tends to disobey some, there might have some reasons for this. Like for instance if he will not go outside during potty breaks, it could be that he has an unpleasant experience in that area like having to stay there alone on longer length of time. If that’s the case, the best thing to do is to focus on the main cause of the issue. So if he’s terrified of going outside on his own, join him and make his stay there a fun experience. In time, he’ll get used to being there on his own knowing that there’s actually nothing to be scared of.
If he tends to be stubborn at all times, reason could be that you haven’t successfully established dominance over your pet. Train your pet that you are the alpha he must obey and respect by not giving in to all his whims and by being the first in doing everything such as walking out of the door and eating. When going out for walks, make certain that he is positioned beside or behind you and since you’re the leader, you are 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 strongly suggested during weimaraner training however, it’s of utmost importance to correct your pet should he made a mistake. But be careful when giving corrections for it ought to 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 right away. If you see him urinating in the living room, distract him at once and take him to the area designated as his toilet and let him finish there. By rewarding him whenever cases such as this happens, he’ll eventually associate the urinating on that area with rewards and exciting experience hence motivating 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.
