How to Train your WETTERHOUN

Training Your Wetterhoun

The Wetterhoun (Frisian Water Dog) is a rugged, highly independent water retriever from the Netherlands. They are famously courageous and notoriously stubborn.

Key Training Tips:

• Firm Consistency: They are strong-willed and will test your boundaries constantly. Establish strict rules and never deviate from them.
• Water Retrieval: They are born to swim and fetch. Use water retrieval games as a massive reward during obedience training; it burns off their intense energy.

They do not respond to harshness; use high-value treats and calm, confident leadership.
