I have read every book and watched every video. I thought I had enough knowledge to train him but I am giving in, I need help. At 11 months Clyde is going to start some training! I am actually very excited. He is not the worst dog in the world but there is definetly room for impprovement.
I took him to the vet yesterday and explained that he NEVER lays down despite 2 H off leash each day. The vet told me that he is a working dog and I am not giving him enough jobs. I do not expect enough from him behavior wise.... I sort of resolved to the fact that he is a V and he is crazy. She said I need to raise the bar a lot higher.
Kinda sad because I thought I was doing good. I already devote SO MUCH time. Now I have to do even more! The vet made suggestions like agility coarses and hide in seek etc... My poor family! They are already deprived. They all complain that "I care more about that dog than them" Does anyone else have family members with Vizsla jealousy? What have I done?????
I still love him though. Just can't wait until he is a trained and a little less time consuming.
Thanks for listening.
