Other Activities:
Agility for the energetic:
Weimaraners take to this with gusto and have done very well at this energetic sport.
Working Trials:
This is a very interesting activity which involves what is known as 'Police Dog Work'. It includes 'nosework' (tracking and finding objects), 'agility' (clear jump, long jump and the wall scale), 'control' (heelwork, sendaway, retrieving, sit and down stay, speak on command) and being steady to gun shot. The Weimaraner has been very successful at participating in this sport and takes to the discipline well. For further details contact: www.workingtrialsworld.co.uk or www.workingtrialsmonthly.co.uk
