Hi All, I thought I would start a new post on an update of our girl. As you may know we have struggled a bit with puppydom since we had her, and the advice on here has been great, but conflicting with other advice elsewhere on the internet and we didnt know which was right or wrong. So we...

I just started taking my 4 1/2 month vizsla male to a new doggie day care (I am single and need to work!). The owner is a certified trainer/behaviorist/nutritionist. I generally like her and think much of what she's explained is decent common sense. However, upon picking him up after his first...

Hey guys, we're wanting a safety net for our recall, our V gets tunnel vision when he spots something he really likes and it's difficult to break his focus. I'm going to retrain recall on a long lead but would also like to try e collar once he is clear on what is needed from him when I recall...

My vizsla is about 10 months old, and in the past week has started to guard toys, treats, and the communal water dish. The water dish is what is confusing/concerning me the most. she has always been a little protective of treats she is currently chewing on, not with me and my partner, but with...

Hello again, We will be in the field this new year's eve and the new year's day doing some tracking and trailing exercises. I have a dog trainer friend who wants to work on hunting breeds with me to set up the scent trails. But unfortunately he has only trained labradors in a non hunting based...

Hi everyone! I have a 10 week old vizsla girl, Tilley, and so far she has been pretty great. Of course she's a typical V and is driving us insane lol but she is so smart and a bold/very confident pup. We had our 2nd week of puppy socialization/training class tonight and it was a nightmare, I...

I have an intact 8 month old V that barks at EVERYTHING! He has always been fairly vocal since I have had him, but chalked it up to him discovering himself and new things in combo with him being a very sensory dog. However as he has gotten older he never seemed to learn that barking at...

This is my first post on the forum, and i'm so glad to have found it! My partner and I brought home our 12 week old girl Juneauper (Junie) about 4 weeks ago. Overall things have been going well, she sleeps in the crate with minimal complaining, and has had minimal accidents in the house. We...

Hi! This is the first time I write in this group! Hope to get some good advice! We are ready to get a V female puppy in June, when our baby will be 7 month old! Our hobbies are running, hunting (my husband), trips in the woods and at the beach (30’ drive). I’ve read about the difficulties of...

Seb is 6 months old and full of energy and he loves running around the park but when he is distracted HE DOES NOT LISTEN! (even while on a lead) when there is other dogs or people around I am afraid to let him off the lead because I struggle to get his attention and it’s embarrassing chasing...

Hey! We recently welcomed an 9-week old vizsla to our family, and live in New York. We did a lot of research prior, and thought about the decision for almost 2 years. Still, in the first week and a half we are realizing how much work it is. We are very active people, take her out many times a...

I have a 9 month old vizsla, and we just recently started letting him roam the house. The only problem we've had so far, is that he won't stop begging. I could start eating a small cracker for about 5 minutes, and he would just sit there staring at me for the next hour. Sometimes he starts...

So much of everything, is how I describe Chloe. Chloe is 5 months old. Chloe is from what I gather, a typical high needs, high energy Vizsla. Some days I want to scream. Today, I wanted to cry. We have a dog trainer, and Chloe loves to work for us. However, she is bored. She gets 3-4 15 min...

I’ve been trying to teach my vizsla new tricks and almost got them perfect however sometimes he doesn’t seem motivated or tries to find a way around doing what I tell him (like pawing my leg instead of doing the trick) he knows how to do these tricks but sometimes it feels like he almost doesn’t...
