It’d be really helpful to have this book a couple months ago, my puppy is now 15 weeks old and some of the problems I’ve already had are addressed in this book.

Vizslas are quite peculiar breed, most of the training techniques won’t work with a high intelligent and SENSITIVE dog.

Really great resource! I read it from start to finish to prepare for our new puppy, but there’s a great table of contents so you can navigate to the exact topic you’re looking for. Lots of helpful photos throughout.

Good book to read about the "vocals" dog breed.
