Methods of training Vizsla dogs
Vizsla, with outstanding hunting skills, is a natural shotgun dog. It mainly has the ability to track the prey, notify the location and transport the prey back. If the breeder can give full exercise, the dog can also be used as a family dog. Vizsla dogs are calm and rational, obedient and affectionate to people, active, easy to train, and have excellent physical strength. The dog has excellent dark yellow coat and is a noble and elegant breed. We must give it proper exercise to keep it healthy and satisfied.
Vizsla has a good sense of smell and excellent training ability. It is lively, gentle, tender and sensitive, and has developed protective functions. Today, Zupets introduces several ways to train Vizsla.
- Accompanying training
This kind of training means that Vizsla can approach you according to your command, and move forward under your guidance, without going ahead or falling behind in the process of moving forward. When training, we can let it walk freely in a flat environment, and then we can hold its belt with our left hand, call its name, and attract its attention. When we issue the command “Follow me”, we can pull it forward with our left hand, and move forward with a relatively fast pace, about 100 meters each time. If it appears to be ahead or behind, we will immediately issue the command “Follow me”, To help it correct, and pull it forward again, stimulate it, and let it form a conditioned reflex.
You can also pull your Vizsla with your right hand and lengthen it appropriately. If it is out of the right position, you can immediately give the command. You can also pat your thigh with your hand. This can be repeated several times to better stimulate it and make it make the correct movement method. In normal training, some dogs like to run around. In order to control it, we can tie it with a traction belt, Let it not lead or lag behind. We can also change the speed and direction to give it more complex training. When it can hear the command and immediately correct it, it means that it has accepted this training normally.
- Come Here training
This way is to meet it according to your gesture and password, and can sit down from the left according to your requirements. In the training, we can call out its name first, then send out the password “come here”, use the right hand to make a gesture, then slowly put the left hand on the flat body of the left hand, and at the same time use the rope to pull it back, you can reward it.
After many times of such training, Vizsla will basically come when he hears the command. At the beginning of training, we must pull the belt and give it some stimulation. Some Vizsla dogs may not come when they hear the command. At this time, we may need to be more careful and more patient, and think of actions that can excite him, such as backing, clapping, or running in the opposite direction, so that he can suddenly rush up, But don’t use some impatient actions to catch it, otherwise it will be affected.
- Food stimulation method
This method can make Vizsla make certain actions, and it can also be conditioned. If it is used well, it can make it participate in training more actively and learn the actions taught faster. However, it should not give it too much food rewards, and should not spoil it too much, otherwise it will affect the effect of training.
When we train, let Vizsla hear the command to move forward, wait in a lying position, pull the traction belt, let Vizsla sit down first, stand in front of it, gently touch its head with your hand, and then order it to lie down, let it lie down, we keep the traction belt and it in the same position, let it keep moving, repeat the exercise, and reward it. Vizsla did not finish until she lay down obediently. At this time, she should be given more rewards, so that she can effectively get the stimulation and happiness of food, and then train more seriously.
