Weimaraner Residential Training
Weimaraners are lively, clever gundogs with boundless energy and keen minds. Originally bred to help hunters find and retrieve game, they are ranked in the top ten most popular gundog breeds in the UK. They are energetic and intelligent, requiring lots of exercise and stimulation. Luckily, they are also eager to please, which is why they thrive with tailored, consistent, engaging training. At Royvon, we’re excited to offer a specialised residential training programme designed specifically for Weimaraner puppies and adults.
Whether you want to channel your pup’s zest for life into positive behaviours or refine an adult dog’s skills, our bespoke residential dog training is perfect for creating a well-mannered, joyful Weimaraner. Join us to discover the joy of training your spirited ‘Silver Ghost’!
Identifying Your Weimaraner’s Training Needs
The Weimaraner’s dazzling energy and sharp wit aren’t just for show. In the 19th century, these dogs were bred to hunt large animals, like deer and boar – which is one of the reasons they demand a tailored approach to training. With vitality that could outlast even the most spirited of joggers and cleverness that rivals the seasoned puzzle-solver, Weimaraners are a breed that thrives under structured, dynamic engagement.
Their strong will and pronounced prey drive make them excellent hunting partners, but they can pose unique challenges in a typical home setting. They are often described as ‘velcro dogs’ due to their intense loyalty and desire for constant companionship. Their clinginess can make them highly sensitive and prone to separation anxiety and other behaviour issues if not properly socialised and trained. Specialised training can transform their potential stubbornness into cooperation and channel their chase instincts into positive behaviours.
At Royvon, we understand the nuances of these dynamic dogs and tailor our programmes to meet their high standards of stimulation and interaction. Get in touch with us today to turn that energy into a harmonious blend of fun and discipline!


Our Weimaraner Training Philosophy
Our positive reinforcement techniques are perfectly suited to these lively and intelligent dogs. We focus on reinforcing the behaviours we want to see by using treats, praise, and play. These effectively turn training sessions into a fun game that satisfies their high energy levels, intellectual curiosity and hunting instincts.
By adapting our methods to match their spirited nature and sharp minds, we ensure that your Weimaraner learns quickly and enjoys every step of the training journey.

The Key Components to Our Weimaraner Training
Our training programme is designed to harness the innate spirit of your dog.
Physical Exercise
Our training includes vigorous exercise routines that satisfy their need to move and improve their overall well-being. From running to agility training, we make sure every session is an adventure that meets their physical needs.
Mental Stimulation
A sharp mind needs constant engagement. We spice up our training with puzzles and games that challenge their intellect. This keeps their minds as fit as their bodies, making sure they’re always ready for more.
Obedience Training
We lay a firm foundation with basic commands and then raise the stakes to advanced obedience, using their intelligence in a positive way. Our structured approach helps channel their enthusiasm into a willingness to follow commands.
Socialisation
Given their strong prey drive and cautious nature with strangers, we implement safe and gradual socialisation strategies. Our approach helps your Weimaraner learn to interact confidently and calmly with other pets and people, turning potential challenges into positive experiences.
The Benefits of Weimaraner Puppy Training
It is really important to start training Weimaraner puppies early. It allows us to tap into their key developmental stages, setting a foundation for lifelong good behaviour.
At Royvon, we introduce puppy learning with methods designed specifically for their sprightly and curious nature. Early socialisation is at the forefront, where pups learn to interact easily with various sounds, sights, animals and people, ensuring they grow up confident and well-adjusted.
Basic compliance starts with simple commands – sit, stay, come, catering to their growing attention spans. Weaving fun into each lesson keeps those wagging tails enthusiastic.
We focus on preventing future behavioural issues by encouraging good habits from the start. Through gentle guidance and consistent positive reinforcement, your Weimaraner puppy will develop into a well-mannered, joyful companion.


Training Results
We have training locations in Esher, Merthyr Tydfil, or Bridgend. In each of these centres, our focus is on tailored training and excellent results.
- Improved Recall and Compliance
- One area we concentrate on is producing significantly improved recall abilities. Whether in a busy local park or out in a field, your Weimaraner will learn to respond promptly to your calls every time. This, coupled with strengthened trust in various settings, means your walks can be as relaxed or as adventurous as you like with your well-behaved pal by your side.
- Behavioural Management
- We also focus on managing and redirecting typical Weimaraner traits, including their strong prey drive and occasional dominance tendencies. These instincts are channelled into positive behaviours through consistent and understanding training methods.
Residential Boarding During Training
Our residential training facilities are designed specifically for the comfort and safety of your four-legged friend. Our boarding options are designed to complement the training experience, ensuring that the routines and progress made during the day are reinforced with a secure and peaceful night’s rest.
Your Weimaraner will have spacious accommodation in our dog hotel and receive individual attention to make sure they are happy, relaxed, and ready for each new day of learning and fun. Our dog-loving staff work around the clock to keep your dog fed, safe and looked after just like at home. At Royvon, we’re all about making sure tails keep wagging during and after training!

When we went back for our top up session, Orphy was super excited to drive through the gates and could not wait to get out of the car! We did about an hour with Charlie, going over techniques to keep Orphy interested and help us with her ongoing training while she’s at home. The refresher appointments are a nice touch and definitely worthwhile!
We absolutely recommend Royvon and are so grateful to have found them!
A very special mention to Tilly who was absolutely amazing with my boy and he loved her. Tilly went above and beyond to make sure my boy felt comfortable, loved and well looked after especially as he’s very anxious.
I got regular updates, pictures and videos and could tell he was having the best time, which gave me such peace of mind while we were apart.
I highly recommend Royvon to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring place for their furry friend.
We want to say a huge thank you to Romeo, Kelsey, and the entire care team at Royvon. You took amazing care of Buddy, giving daily updates of his training sessions and group plays, which really helped to put our minds at ease. Buddy has built a lovely bond with Romeo and the team, and I’m sure he will look forward to any day plays there in the future.
Jasper was extremely reactive to just about everything, including people, dogs and traffic.
Through a lot of hard work, we have made so much progress with Romeo and Kelsey. They have really gone above and beyond to try and make him more manageable, and what a difference it’s made.
He is still reactive, mainly to dogs, but he can do so much more now. As with any German Shepherd puppy, we still have lots of work to do, but we believe we now have the tools to succeed thanks to Royvon.
We will still be coming back as Jasper has built a stone bond with both of his trainers, but we thoroughly recommend Royvon for anyone struggling with a difficult dog, or just a dog that needs training!
The choice of services available makes boarding here a seamless home away from home experience for our Labrador, Dune. The staff are friendly, welcoming and professional and our dog is always very well looked after. The daily updates and photos alongside Royvon's insta posts give us the confidence to leave our furry family member in their capable hands.
When we are away, we appreciate all the photos and comments about Dexter’s day! We are using you again next month! Thank you!
Dogs and their owners get a warm, professional welcome from Ioana &. Joanna, and our dog has a packed day being looked after by Leanne’s wonderful team of kind, experienced canine carers.
The whole team is a credit to Royvon’s owners, we feel lucky to have them as our trusted home from home for a special member of our family!
Richard, her evaluator, has been wonderful with her, gave us plenty of feed back and we had a report and lots of pictures as well. Our dog had clearly bonded with Richard already and we feel much happier about leaving her for longer next time. Thank you for caring for Jumika as well as you did, it really showed!
We were experiencing difficulties when walking both dogs on the lead and both had become protective, reactive and nervous of other people and sometimes dogs, making our walks difficult and stressful.
Well what can I say, the improvement we have seen in both dogs is brilliant, they are more confident and focused now and their reactivity levels have dropped significantly. We have some additional 1:1 training sessions to complete over the next few weeks to ensure that we can keep up the training.
During the training programme, Romeo and Kelsey sent us video updates of the dog’s progress, enabling us to see how they were getting on and responding to the training. This was invaluable to us.
In addition, the team at Royvon took really good care of both dogs and we received reports on how they were settling in/getting on during their group playtime and time spent in kennels, plus daily photo updates.
I wouldn’t hesitate to board our dogs at Royvon again, we were very happy with the dogs care.
Thank you to Romeo, Kelsey and the rest of the team at Royvon!
Maslow went for 3 weeks residential and spent a lot of his time with Charlie who is fantastic. She sent regular updates including videos and pictures which we could go through in preparation for getting him home. We had updates daily from the report team to let me know that his report was ready. He had a great time.
I cannot recommend Charlie and the team enough. Definitely worth the money and he has come home ready to carry on with the training and is listening to me and eager to learn. If you're having issues with your dog then give the team at Royvon a call, it's made my life a lot easier already.
Molly's trainer during her stay was Charlie who was brilliant. She was able to quickly build up a strong relationship with her and it was easy to see that Molly felt really comfortable. Charlie sent photos and videos from each training session which helped me to track her progress and are great to refer back to now that Molly is back home. Charlie quickly identified Molly's strong herding instinct and was able to direct this positively into various "games" which are great outlet.
Throughout her stay, I also received daily photos from the care team taken during her group play sessions as well as enrichment reports. She was initially only socialised with one older, calmer collie to build up her confidence before being introduced to a larger group. It was great to see her confidence grow.
Molly is much more focused on walks and confident around other dogs and cars. Thank you to Charlie and the team at Royvon!
