About the Vizsla
Known for their the ultimate velcro dog, extremely affectionate and energetic with a desperate need to be near their person at all times, Vizslas have a velcro-dog devotion and athletic grace that makes them the most affectionate — and most clingy — sporting breed.
Common Vizsla Training Challenges
The most common challenge Vizsla owners face is separation anxiety and inability to settle. Other frequent issues include separation anxiety, hyperactivity, jumping, and velcro behavior.
Sound familiar?
Picture your Vizslas following you into the bathroom, whining the moment you leave the room, and becoming a destructive wreck when left alone for more than 30 minutes.
The Right Training Approach for Vizslas
The key to training a Vizsla lies in leveraging their natural desperate desire to be near their person and natural athleticism that makes them phenomenally responsive training partners. Work with their instincts, not against them.
Breed-Specific Training Tip
Vizslas are called "velcro dogs" for good reason. They need physical contact and proximity to their humans. Build independence gradually -- forcing separation too quickly creates severe anxiety.
Vizsla puppies should practice short separations from 8 weeks. This breed is prone to severe separation anxiety if not conditioned early.
The Transformation
Whether your Vizsla is a clingy, anxious puppy or an adult who still can't handle five minutes alone, the right training approach transforms them. Imagine your velcro Vizsla resting calmly in their crate while you're at work, walking with elegant composure beside you, and channeling their energy into focused training sessions.
