I have a Weimaraner that is about to be a year old. This is our first dog ever and we've trained him well for the most part. He does the usual, sit, shake,lay down and what not. He sits for his food and won't move until I tell him to eat. But when I take him for a walk, there is an open area I let him run around and do his own thing. But as soon as other people or dogs come around he loses his mind and pays no attention to anything I say. how can I change this habit? he has gotten better with his lead but not quite the way I'd like him to be. I keep him on a short lead and he doesn't pull but as soon as I give slack he inches ahead of me. Anyone else have a problem with the weim forgetting obedience once they get outside?

Hey Shawn,

I have the same problem with my weim pup at times. I've started using a dog whistle but anything you do its going to need a lot of work, patience and understanding. You may find it useful to look at your behaviour as well when he forgets his place. Try a lower tone of voice, don't shout and scream, just stay firm with the command. Additionally you may find that stooping down to his level and calling him firmly may help. My weim often comes back when I stoop down to his level. I took my pup to puppy club at our vets and my vet trained her dog by tying a washing line (long rope) to her dogs collar and then loosing him off his leash. Apparently it helped the puppy establish its boundaries because my vet could attain quick control over her if overstepped. Over time when you are happy and feeling comfortable with your progress you ditch the line and allow them to run themselves. Hope this makes sense. Email me if you fancy a chat: lois_british_dressage_fairy@hotmail.com, maybe hear from you soon. xx

hey...
I have been working with a dog trainer for my rescue Weimy and he suggested the clothes rope technique too....teaches them call back....as well as the circle of control.....the min they go out that circle or pull on rope they are called back...start with small distance first ie lead then go to rope and increase the length.....dont let the dog free to run until he gets the circle of control.....then ya know once he is off and you call him back he will come...
hope that works?
