German Wirehaired Pointer Training

Do you have a German Wirehaired Pointer that needs some training help? Natalie from Crazy Kind Calm dog training can help!

With over 900 dogs trained across the Macedon Ranges, Natalie understands the unique personality and needs that come with this wonderful breed.

German Wirehaired Pointers are rugged, versatile hunting dogs built for all terrains and weather. They're energetic, loyal, and determined — with a wiry coat that matches their tough, no-nonsense personality.

Common German Wirehaired Pointer traits and training needs

  • Very high energy — bred for all-day hunting and needs serious daily exercise
  • Strong prey drive that can make off-lead walks challenging near wildlife
  • Can be aloof or wary with strangers while being deeply devoted to their family
  • Strong-willed and independent — needs confident, consistent handling
  • Pulls on lead with determination and strength
  • May become anxious, vocal, or destructive without adequate exercise and stimulation

GWP owners know they have a tough, driven dog who needs a lifestyle to match. If your Wirehaired Pointer can't settle after a one-hour walk, drags you towards every bird in the district, or sizes up strangers before accepting them — that's the breed being true to form. Their loyalty and intelligence make them excellent training partners, but they need an owner who can keep up.

"We just had a family/dog training session with our dog Ollie. Not only is Nat most excellent in imparting heaps of very useful and ace knowledge about our dog, I am most stocked about how she managed to teach (or shall I say train) our kids to train the dog :) - Now that we all got taught how to best train our doggo, we can tackle it together and it's not just a "parent's" job. Thanks heaps Nat x"
