      Additional Training Materials

      Southern California Basic Obedience Training Facilities:

      • Jump Start Dog Sports, Yorba Linda, CA. I’ve taken a few conformation and obedience classes here with my dogs, and highly recommend the knowledge and expertise at this full-service facility. (Friday and LunaBelle have been here.)
      • Wags and Wiggles, Tustin and Rancho Santa Margarita, CA. We haven’t trained our dogs at this facility, but we have sent them here for daycare and weekend boarding when we’re out of town. (Britta and Wally been here.)
      • Penny Scott-Fox, Pasadena, CA. Jasper/Orange Boy from our 2013 litter and his parents have been enrolled in a few of Penny’s classes. Penny comes highly recommended from Jasper’s family. (Jasper has been  here.)

      Further Listening:

      • Podcast – Canine Master with Chris Onthank. This is a great Podcast for the regular dog owner. We’ve listened to every single Podcast and 99% agree with Chris’ philosophy and methods. Each episode is about 20 minutes long. Perfect for road time!!!
      • Podcast – Canine Conversations with Robert Cabral. This is ANOTHER great Podcast for the regular dog owner. Robert has an incredible background in working with Malinois’ and shelter dogs and lives in Southern CA. His wife Janet competes in AKC Agility with some of our friends. There is great value in everyone one of Robert’s 80 episodes.
      • Podcast – Leerburg Dog Training Podcast. This one’s a quickie; there are only 15 episodes. Ed Frawley is a little more old-school, and his background is working bloodline German Shepherds, but there’s still valuable information for Weimaraner owners. The episodes about being your puppy’s pack leader, and the theory of corrections are both excellent.
      • Podcast – Your New Puppy. This is a Podcast from Debbie at Playtime Paws and is a wonderful positive training resource for new puppy owners. Topics include: potty training, crate training, socialization and exposure, breaking bad habits and solidifying good habits. Episode come in great little bite-sized chunks at about 10 minutes each.

      Books in Print:

      • Weimaraner Ways (written by Virginia Alexander)
        • This book was written by my girl’s breeder, Ms. Virginia Alexander. If you’re only going to own ONE book about Weimaraners, make this be the one. It’s FULL of Weimaraner specific information that you simply cannot get in just any book. I own this book and am happy to show it to you, but my copy is autographed so I’m not willing to lend it out. 🙂
      • Weimaraners (written by Judythe Coffman)
        • This book is a bit outdated, but it still has useful Weimaraner-specific information in it. I also own this book, and I’m happy to lend it out.
