Behavior Problems
Weimaraners can be trained as behaved house pets and family friendly dogs. However, this can lead to severe separation anxiety which can result in erratic and destructive behaviors such as drooling or chewing of household items. This behavior can be curbed with proper puppy training, but most weimaraners will always have this disorder to an extent.Another behavioral disorder is aggression. Weimaraners are very protective of themselves and their families and can become aggressive when they feel a threat. This is another behavior that can be subdued with early training. While some aggression is to be expected, weimaraners can become incredibly loyal if trained correctly.Weimaraner Ways: About Weimaraners
