Basic Vizsla Obedience Tips
Training has to be a pleasant and rewarding situation for both you and the Vizsla. If you are not in the right mindset for training, do not even start. Always reward your Vizsla for heeding your orders precisely! A treat is anything that your Vizsla desires and is happy to earn. Snacks are a great prize but different treats could be oral admiration and playthings. Multiple shorter training sessions are typically better than 1 long one. Training should not contain any negative components or punishment. There should be no yelling, no smacking or hitting, no leash jerking on training leashes or collars, and absolutely no electricity! Each training opportunity needs to be pleasant and positive with praise for each job well done.
Training Vizslas with head collars
Dragging the lead is one of the few negative jobs of raising a new Vizsla puppy. Using a head collar for Vizsla training has become standard in the last decade. Training with a head collar does have some advantages over the usual training collar. Though it’s very simple to utilize, it’s vital that head collars are fit correctly and your Vizsla systematically introduced to the collar. Head collars are pretty much more intuitive to use than a traditional training collar. Head collars are quite effective when training Vizslas in difficult situations.
