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.

"I wish there were more than 5 stars to give! Natalie and Crazy, Kind Calm was recommended to us from a work mate and we couldn’t be happier. We recently rescued a Jack Russell Terrier who is nearly 1.5 years old, and after much research on trainers in the region, we reached out to Natalie. Rightly so, she is a very sought after trainer and we waited patiently for our session with her. She even recommended other trainers who we might want to engage, as it would be 6 weeks before we could see her. We decided to hold out and do our best until our session with the her. From the minute Natalie entered the home, she had our little mate completely engaged. Honestly, it was like watching magic. We went for the personal training session first, and her credentials and experience did not disappoint. We had a 2 hour session, and not 1 second was wasted. The whole experience was the most engaging, informative and educational I have ever had with a trainer, especially dealing with rescue dogs and their big feelings. We can’t wait for our follow up sessions. The level of care, the detailed and tailored training plans which Natalie sent after the session, the trust our precious little mate Billy had in her from the first second, and her genuine warmth, and love and respect for all dogs- made it a very comforting and wondrous experience. Again- if there were more stars to give- I would give them. A truly professional, experienced, trustworthy and knowledgeable trainer - worth the wait 💜"
