Vizsla showing aggressive tendencies with other dogs...
Vizslalady replied to Haggis Supper's topic in General Dog Discussion
Hi Colin We have had vizslas in our lives for many years. The anxiousness at being left outside shops and the over-the-top greeting is not unusual - they are very attached to their people! You are lucky that she copes with the 10 hours a day by herself without barking or other anxiety behaviours. Many struggle with that. I agree with the vet check being the first step. One of our girls went from being a sociable puppy to a reactive nipper at the age of about 1 year. It turned out that she had hip dysplasia and was understandably very nervous of any dogs near her hips or just playing too boisterously. Kira Ryle at caninecode.com.au gets a good wrap as a behaviourist. I know she has worked with a couple of vizslas and is in the Bayside area. Good luck - they are beautiful quirky souls.
