Like most dogs, Vizslas require early training and socialization. Training should begin as soon as you bring your puppy home, with a few minutes of practice throughout the day. Lively, affectionate, and intelligent, Vizsla puppies respond best to positive reinforcement like praise, play, and food rewards. Because they are retrieving dogs, Vizslas can be a bit mouthy and love to chew. They thrive on human companionship and will often follow you from room to room. They love to be touched and included.
Healthy puppies will have clean ears with no signs of discharge, redness, inflammation or pungent odour. If the puppy is aggressively scratching or pawing their ear, tilting their head or excessively flipping their head, it may also be a sign of discomfort. Breeds with floppy ears are more prone to infection or disease.
