Posted by Andy You could've put in a rescue or give it to someone, like a trainer, that would want it. there are other means to rid of the dog and not killing him. Again, I am sorry for the dog. --Previous Message--

I am sorry to hear you story... but I have to say.. they are better ways to fix a problem than putting a dog to sleep. that is just plain cruel.. just because you were not capable of training your dog doesn't mean you can put him to sleep. I totally understand all the missbehaving as I have own many weims in my life, but what you did is just inhumane. Did the dog bite anyone? if not, there was not reason to kill the dog.
: Hello, I am not sure if you have solved your problem, but I unfortunately just
: put my 4yr old weim to sleep due to uncontrollable people chasing. I had also
: sturggled with training my weim Simon. At 6 months old he ate his crate, yes,
: pulled the door into the crate and crawled out, then proceeded to eat my
: basement door, yes the entire bottom was completely eaten, and for the past
: four years, has been eating my back door molding to get out of the house when I
: left. He has severe seperation anxiety. He was the best dog I ever owned in
: my life, and was remarkable with my 3 children, 4,3,1. My 4yr old son still
: cries over him and wants him to come home, and it has only been one week. I
: regret it terribly, however, he had gotten to a point where I had no means of
: containing him at all. I fenced in my yard, and he ate the wire inside the
: fence and got out under the fence, he broke off chains that could pull a boat.
: I used to run with him, and a 6 mile run would be a warm up for him. He was
: unbelievably smart, but unfortunately, he would chase the kids in the
: neighborhood and neighbors, and I couldnt take the risk of him biting anyone.
: I loved the dog more than anything and I must say I regret my decision, but on
: the other hand, I do have a family that I can not allow to be second to a dog.
: If you are going to commit to keeping this puppy, he will need extremely strict
: training, and try an electric fence with the max setting to start. If you can
: not to commit to intense training and serious containment, you may end up like
: me. My dog Simon was my baby, and I wish there were more people willing to
: admit to the massive amount of work involved to raising a well rounded weim.
: They are the most affectionate family dogs you will ever own, but there is much
: more to the weim than love. The have endless energy, and the require strict
: training, constantly, dont stop at puppy training. I hope I have helped a
: little. I really miss my baby, and I hope you can save yours now, it is
: definitely no too late to work on bad habits, the weim is definitely worth it.

: I have a 1 year old female Weim and I have had the most difficult time getting
: her to do what I want her to do... She is so misbehaved, I am really not sure
: what to do anymore! I want to beleive that she is still in her puppy stage
: (which I am sure she is) but I see no end in sight. I read on a website that
: Weims are known to be the devil and an angel rolled up in one! This is so true
: in Sadie's case. At one year old she is yet to be housetrained... I have tried
: a whole variety of training techniques that have not worked! It would be one
: thing if I ignored her plea to go out, but she won't even tell me anymore! She
: knows that she is not supposed to be doing this because she hides under the
: kitchen table... even before I get the spray bottle out (our crueless way of
: punishment). Crate-training? Forget about it! She gets let out of the crate
: sopping wet! She is covered in pee! This is only one problem I have that I need
: help on... if anyone has any suggestions please feel free to email!
