was I right to muzzle him.

I've been taking jett to training classes to stop his biting.
The lady that runs it told me to put a rope and ball on a old lead and attach it to his collar to distract him,but after 4 nights of been constantly bit i gave up.
The other evening I took him out and he started jumping up and biting so I firmly said "NO!" and got him to sit until he had calmed down. he then did it again and wouldn't listen to me. (he only stops when other dogs or people approach)
he stopped when a woman walked by.

about half an hour later he completely changed.He was like a completely different dog,jumping at my face and arms. he got hold of my arm and started shaking it and wouldn't let go this went on for nearly 45 minutes. no one was on the field to help and my mind was in panic.the only thing i could think to do was to hit him with the lead and he still didn't let go.
I tried letting go of the lead and walking off but he just jumped at the back off me and latched onto my arm again.

I ended up walking off the field and calling a friend who lives just off the field to come and help.
when we got jett home I realised the damage he'd done. I had to go to A&E and have stiches in both arms and just above my eye.i've been left with badly bruised arms and legs.
I've only muzzled him for my safety and the safety of others.


sorry for the rant.

sound like poor train dog!!

you told me your younger brother was teasing have you stop it?

You have serious control issue's with Jett he isn't showing any respect towards you, you need to go to dog classes so you can learn how to handle a dog as well as the dog learning how to behave.

you will have to be very strict and consistent with him to get any improvement and continue the training throughout his life.

How many walks does he get a day and for how long

what do you feed him

steve,my brother isn't teasing him anymore.

Marty. he gets walked 3 times a day for an hour each time. and He's being fed wainwrights dry food.

If you are doing everything in your power to train this out of him then I would suggest you take him to the vets and have him tested for health/mental issues. Xx

Walking your dog is an important training in your dog life, it should show him your boss not the other way around.

Is anybody hitting him at home?

Is he getting away with something and getting told off the next?

no nobody's hitting him.

my girlfriend lets him get away with murder though but I always correct the both of them.

That one of your problem you going have to tell them.

Oh wow. That's serious trouble. You really need to get it in hand straight away. I's make an appointment with your vet, Jett def needs checking out and the vet may be able to refer you to someone who can help.

In the meantime, I would definitely keep him muzzled.

If you are doing all that you say you are and it is not making a difference, it's time to look at other causes. Take him to the vet!

i think this behave as come by your brother letting him hump his leg (IMO letting a dog hump you is the worse things you can do), your other half letting him get away with murder and whatever else.

no need to goto vets train him what right and wrong with plenty of walks with him on the lead.

????????????????why the masive differance in behaviour from earlier you stated i one of your posts on puppy training that you were having good sucsess with NO
deff sounds like you need a trip to the vets for a check for underlining problems as there most be something going on for such a great change in such a short space of time.
hope you get sorted quickly

The last time you posted his problems i gave you advice, did you take it? did you get him a head halti? this now a very seriouse situation and it has nothing to do with the staff in him, i still believe he is weimaraner and this behaviour is all weimaraner, get a head halti this will immediatly prevent him from biting you, all you do is pull up. if he doesn't like having it on, your not doing it properly (so try again, some don't like it, because they don'thave full control/you do). Use the head halti rightly and you will immediatly notice a difference, use it with all his training, once he is used to it he can wear it around the house like it isn't even there, he can still eat/drink/play and when he starts you simply grab the certain part of the halti and close his mouth, raise his head to yours and give the command.
also don't stop using the halti because you think it all fixed, it will always come in handy.
if he starts attacking you and starts shaking like you said again DO NOT hit him this will just make him want to hit you back grab him by the cheek/below the ear scruff/loose skin and hold him still this way he can not shake and tear.
don't get angry or frustrated with him or he will shoot that energy right back at you, stay calm (easier said than done)
The halti doesn't just do all the things i said it also gives the handler confidence knowing you have complete and utter control will make you confident in walking him correctly he will notice you are more confident and assertive and that energy alone will calm him down.
