My experiences with a Vizsla
Love peanut butter
Love being under blankets
Love carrying around blankets, shoes, slippers, scarfs.
Protective and good guard dogs
Bark only when necessary
Counter Surfers
Sensitive Skin - feed high quality food, treats and no chemicals. I use only heart guard and the flea and tick prevention I make my own all natural ways.
Puppy Phases.
Age 2-4 months
biting at the leash when walked. Cant focus and shark attack teething stage.( shark attack is aggressive teething but only last 4-8 weeks i promise! it will end by 4-5 months old... Walking on the leash can be hard at this age. They like to bite at it constantly and they only like to walk toward the home not away from it. This stage is over by 4 months old.
Age 4-6 months-
Phobias especially of bugs. This age they love to wear tight little doggie shirts for security. They also love to carry blankets and scarfs around for security. By this age mine was fully trained on an electric fence and never ran through it by 6.5 months old. Great age to start them on this is 5 months old exactly. She only got zapped one time on the lowest setting and never again. This was also the age the teeth began to appear on the carpet. Walking on the leash is perfect now except for pulling.
Age 7 months..
When you get to this age life becomes so great!!!!!
The boss!!! This is where we are now. I will add more later. To see the growth of a Vizsla week to week see my home page slide shows. I do notice now at this age the butt wiggle starts!! More like 6 months old but its SO FUNNY!!!!! They are known for the butt wiggle. Especially when you first get home and they have to have a soft toy or scarf while doing the butt wiggle... By this age the toilet paper fetish starts to go away. That actually stopped around 5 months old...So if you can get through the first few months of getting your pup you will be noticing at 7 months old life gets back to normal and the pup is almost taking care of itself. Life is great at this age!
