I am a pet sitter and a new client of mine has asked for help with a
behavior issue with their dog, which they also demonstrated for me. It
seems that anytime their dog has a rawhide bone or basically any toy in his
possesion, he will growl and bear his teeth if either one of them attempts
to take the object away from him. He has bitten the women twice (drew
blood) and has also nipped the man on several occasions. He is approx 1
year old and other than this behavior, he appears to be your typical fun
loving Weimaraner. He was very friendly to me the very first time I met
him.
Have any of you ever seen this behavior in Weimaraner's before? If so, how
did you go about correcting the behavior...or is this going to be something
that can't be modified. The couple are concerned that if they were to have
children, this could be a real danger.
Thanks in advance for your ideas.
