Another great read is Jean Donaldson's Culture Clash. Sounds like the pup did not learn pack culture from its mom and brothers and sisters. You need to become a pack leader. The dog will respond to your calm assertive energy and will respect you if your always calm and consistent. Never yell, shake, slap or give your weim harsh repremands when they are young. My weim Lily bit and bit until she was about 22 weeks old. She comes from an amazing kennel and was socailized. They are a stubborn and smart breed and will step up to the pack leader role if you dont. Work with your pup they grow out of puppy bitting sooner then later. My second advice would be to keep you weimy pup active ( leaving them in a crate only builds energy that you will later have to release ) Crates are amazing if used properly. They keep your pup safe when you cannot watch them but they do not teach your puppy about biting. Dogs are not children DO NOT give your dog time outs. They do not understand why they are in a crate, when put there for bad behaviour. Good Luck CMS I would suggest that you real Ceaser Millan’s book called Ceasers Way.

If not, my suggestion would be to place the Weimaraner in a breed rescue and get an easier dog breed.. I love Weim's as they are brilliant dogs, but, they also can be very troublesome dogs. For the nipping, they will want to react as a littermate would, yelp like it hurts. This site has some good info on training Weim's.. http://www.adonaiweims.com/trouble.html They are on the right track with crate training, that's important to prevent separation anxiety later which is very common with these dogs.. <br><b>References : </b><br> Are they pretty experienced dog owners?

They are on the right track with crate training, that’s important to prevent separation anxiety later which is very common with these dogs..

Don’t put any pressure on and make sure you move your hand as she mover her head. After a little while let go of her jaw but leave your hand there. If she licks your hand (which is likely) give loads of praise. If she nips again repeat the above. It worked with one of ours (English Pointer not Weimaraner) but it does take a bit of time<br><b>References : </b><br> If you have been through all the normal stuff like yelping loudly when she nips and then ignoring her you could try holding on to her bottom jaw with your thumb in her mouth and one finger underneath the jaw.
