mornin guys,
we are going to have to put our new(ish) weimariner down. since we have had him, he has bit my wife and me a total of 6 times--odd though, he always goes for the face. he is very protective of food, toys, bed, and who knows what ever he wants to claim as his.
we went to a dog trainer and behaviorist and they both felt him trainable, but just a couple of days ago floki took a toy upstairs into our bedroom and started to trash it. i walked over to him and started to pick of the toy guts and i heard a short growl before he lunged at my face and snapped his jaws right below my chin. i back up and he backed, reset himself and lunged again. i have never seen a dog do that.
yesterday the trainer came over for about an hour and a half and at her direction, i was walking floki around under very close lead with a pressure collar. the trainer asked for the lead, walked him around and tossed a ball to him. he picked it up and dropped the ball and the trainer moved it with her foot. just at that moment, i caught a slight body movement from floki and he then lunged at her face, knocking her glasses to the floor. fortunately she was wearing glasses or she may have lost her eye. he bit her twice--across the face and on the arm. fortunately she is okay and received some teeth scratching across her face and arm.
he is so fast, agile, big and strong and seems to realize this is the way to get whatever he wants, when he wants it.
we have tried as much as we could with this mistreated animal, but he is far too aggressive and dangerous to be trained out of this behavior. both experts advised us to put him down before he seriously hurts one of us or someone else.
