Your puppy loves praise more than anything, so make sure to give it lots of hugs, kind words and treats. The Griff is a very intelligent breed, so beyond the basic sit, stay and housebreaking, there’s plenty of potential for advanced tricks. The key to training your WPG puppy is consistency. Make sure you use the same words to give commands and take them outside at the same time after every meal. This routine is key to your Wirehaired Pointing Griffon evolution from scrappy little pup to a true companion and functional member of your family.
Wirehaired Pointing Griffons are prone to ear infections, so be sure to check the ear canal for redness or signs of scabbing. Healthy puppies will have clean ears with no signs of discharge, redness, inflammation or pungent odour. If the puppy is aggressively scratching or pawing their ear, tilting their head or excessively flipping their head, it may also be a sign of discomfort. Breeds with floppy ears are more prone to infection or disease.
