I also have a Weim, male 5 yrs old.  He has days where he acts so wierd!!  Paceing, whinning..and I have NO idea why!!  His eyes will look all crazy.  But he is still very gentle with my boys and our other dogs. It is very non-aggressive but a very scared, timid, nervous, anxious.  Like an anxiety attack but all day long and I don't know why.  We've had him almost 3yrs and he's always been like this.  He's terrified of the rain.  I am considering dog anxiety meds for him.

I wonder if this is a breed specific type thing, I have read several posts of people being concerned about anxious acting Weims.

Good luck to you!
