Hi, everyone.
This is my first post. I'm Brazilian, so I'm sorry if I make some (or many) mistakes writing here.
I've had a V puppy since February, Agatha, she is 6 months old now and she has always been kind of "crazy"...I mean, she diggs a lot, she barks, she cries really loud when we don not do what she wants, she bites and destroys stuff around the house and many other things...it's so difficult to handle her that we dicided to keep her out of the house. She has a bigg and warm dog house now, we have a large backyard full of grass (now full of holes too) and we also have 3 other dogs (Cairn Terriers). The four dogs are aloud to run and play most part of the day and they do it a lot to spend energy.
I have 3 Cairn Terriers, so I have always read a lot about training and obedience. My dogs have always respected the house rules and me as their natural leader. I also have had an excellente dog trainner, but not anymore. Anyway, I never thought I would have to deal with agressiveness with my Vizsla.
She has always been jealus and stubborn. Some days ago I noticed Agatha started to be a little anxious and trying to bite me when I tryed to pick her up when she was doing something wrog (like digging, jumping on me, and many other things), two days ago she growled aggressively at another female who was visiting us at home...today she bite (attacked) my younger Cairn Terrier, Brigitte: I was giving Agatha some attention and caressing her when Brigitte came near without interfering, but Agatha growled aggressively at her and grabbed Brigitte by the neck, it was a terrible scene...I could never imagine that kind of attack coming from any of my dogs...I'm still very shocked.
I can't have that kind of behaivior at home, I like to have my dogs getting along, being able to run and play, free, obedient and happy as I have always had. Also I spend part of the day out and can't separate them, unless Agatha stays locked in a very tiny room I have in the garage...I don't think this would be good.
Thanks very much for reading this, I hope I can find some advice.
