Wow a Weimaraner!!
They are indeed very high strung with tons of energy. I know exactly what you're in for (my weim Billy was full of P n V until around 10.5yrs).

First of all you will need to EXCERCISE! EXCERCISE! EXCERCISE! If he's tired he'll be happy and well behaved and will be a complete joy to be around. So I would suggest you bundle up in your winter gear for a nice long walk and make sure your pup has a warm coat on too.

Confine him or leave him alone with all that pent up energy and he'll tire himself out in ways that will be unpleasant for you. He'll be busy destroying and chewing anything and everything he can find. Talking from experience here.

I found a one hour walk three times a day took care of my pups need. You will have to figure out what works for Ragnar. He may need less or he may need more. I know that some pups are trained on a treadmill so the owners can drain their energy in quick time however I've never had to do this.

Good luck
