We have now had Winston for 5 months total. Here are the top 10 things I learned, as I was not a previous Weim owner. Take it or leave it – I am not a professional just a regular single mom!
- Stick to the crate – no matter what! Do no waiver!!
- DVD – Crate Games – own it!!
- “Bully sticks – buy stock in that company!
- DO NOT PEE PAD TRAIN – Take them out in the snow – breaking the pee pad training is insanely hard! (TRUST ME!!)
- Bell train to go outside – it really does work!!
- Take them everywhere with you – this way new sounds won’t freak the out!
- Invest in a good high quality food. Not all puppy chow is the same!
- TAKE ADVICE from advanced weim owners/breeders.
- Get pet insurance – I pay 53 a month and I have already gotten 300 back so it basically pays for itself!
- TRAIN – TRAIN – TRAIN AND TRAIN more!!

Personally I have used Healthy Paws and Trupanion, but there are a lot of companies out there and I haven’t researched them. I’d be interested in hearing about anyone else’s experience with pet insurance!
