#7 Raising Drathhaars is no more difficult than any other hunting breed.Raising Drathhaars is no more difficult than any other hunting breed.
Like most cops, these good-natured "Germans" need a serious mentor who will not abuse the authoritarian style in dealing with them but will not allow himself to be manipulated. From the first days of the appearance of a Drathhaar puppy in the house, they begin to bring up courage in him. The kid should not be afraid of the sounds of shots and the sight of wild animals, no matter how impressive they may be. It is better to accustom your dog to the smell of gunpowder and gun volleys somewhere far from civilization. At first, shots are fired at a distance of 200 m from the animal. If the German Wire-Haired Pointing Dog does not show signs of panic and excitement, the gap is gradually reduced.
#8 Those who are going to raise a professional bat bird from a pet will have to conduct a course of swimming lessons with him in open reservoirs.
You should train your puppy to swim smoothly, as many of them are afraid of water. In no case do not throw the German Wire-Haired Pointing Dog into the river in order to develop courage and recklessness in it. Of course, he will not drown to drown, but he will lose trust and respect for you forever.
#9 “You can’t!” and “Come to me!” – commands, the meaning of which the representative of the breed of wire-haired cops must learn as early as possible.
Only after the puppy learns to quickly and correctly respond to the imperative tone of the owner, you can proceed to get acquainted with the retrieval. It is advisable to train the dog to carry objects from the age of five months. Traditionally, the training of a German Wire-Haired Pointing Dog begins with the fact that a stuffed bird is brought to its nose. The animal must grab the offered "prey" and put it on the floor as soon as it hears the command "Aport!" From the owner.
