I haven't posted much recently, as Peanut was making good progress on most fronts. However, he's now unable to spend the same amount of time he used to in his crate during daytime. He sleeps in it without any problems, but starts wailing and howling and barking at 6am. That's usually dealt with...

Hi there, newbie here with what i realise is an age old question. We picked up our girl (Ziva) who is just under 8 weeks old on Sunday. At night when we are ready to go to bed, we place in her crate and then the howling/whining/crying/barking begins. So far we have lost patience before she...

Hey all, I've been reading these forums for the past few weeks and they're so much better than many 'highly recommended' books. We just got our new V puppy, Peanut, he turns 9 weeks old today. He's been with us for over a week, and he has a crate (mostly happy with it, even manages 5 (!!)...

Hi! I am a first time vizsla owner and have a 4 1/2 month male named Moose. Overall, everything he's exhibited seems pretty normal for a vizsla his age based on what I've read (including on this forum!) and I know the things we need to work on training. However, the one thing I'm truly confused...

Hi Viz community ☺ I've had success crate training my wirehaired vizsla, who is 13 weeks old, but we have an issue with peeing. She is crated at night, where she sleeps 10pm-6am with a pee break at 2am. Sleeps like a log, crate bedding is dry every morning 👍 had her 3 weeks, no accidents in the...

Hi all! I've been an outsider on this forum until now. We just adopted a vizsla just over 3 months old and brought him home yesterday. So far he is perfect. I drove hundreds of miles through a snow storm both ways to get him and it was worth it :). I'm wondering if I could get any advice about...

Helllo Ive read so many threads about this issue but I'm having trouble and wonder if perhaps my doggo will be one that won't ever like being in a confined space. I have a 12 week old V. She sleeps in her crate all night, usually 7-8 hours. She will take herself there when we go to bed as she...
