#10 German wire-haired cops really do not like monotony in everything, so it is better to combine several types of activities during training.
Let your pet show itself in all its glory, "loading" it with various tasks for ingenuity and search for objects, not forgetting to alternate lessons with jogging and games.
#11 The passion for hunting is inherent in German Wire-Haired Pointing Dogs at the genetic level, so they are able to catch animals even without going through the appropriate training course.
For example, dogs living in private houses often present their owners with "presents" in the form of rats or field rodents. An additional "amplifier" of the hunting talents of the Drathhaars is their dense, waterproof wool, which protects the animals from thorns and sharp branches. In races through the bush, where other cops thoroughly strip their sides, these charismatic "bearded men" only stick on thorns and burrs.
#12 According to domestic hunters, it is better to train a German Wire-Haired Pointing Dog for one type of prey.
Although in the homeland of the breed, in Germany, wire-haired cops are trained to work simultaneously with three or four species of game.
As for the training technique, good results can be achieved by an ordinary imitation of hunting. As an example: a box is opened in front of the dog sitting next to the owner, from which a bird or one of the forest dwellers is released. At the same time, the pet must show perseverance, take a stance and wait for the command of a person, and not rush at full speed after fleeing living creatures.
