This is where a Weimaraner pup gets to test the waters of being the dominant one in all settings (with other littermates, you and your family). Intense competition and play-fights between littermates

is common. All tests and association done for development of strength must be stopped for this period. A pup conditioned to get his way mostly turns out to have behavioral problems or fits of aggression. It is noted that the pup's emotional development are set and made. By this time the foundation of the pup's character is set and unshakable. Constant human association must be continued.
