Vinnie , 1 year old wire haired viszla.
Vinnie had a bit of an attitude problem with other dogs , reacting to dogs on or off lead in an aggressive manner . He doesn’t mean any harm but as he’s a big dog it can seem a bit scary . We started by getting his lead walking under control , if the walk is under control he can trust his walker more and feel more relaxed . We have taught him to stop reacting and being silly around other dogs . He’s not perfect but now he reacts 1/10 times rather than 9/10 times . He was also very hit and miss with his recall , only coming when he decided to , so we did some long line training and some steadiness training . His recall is now 99% . Still have a bit of work to do but the difference in him and his owner is remarkable . No treats , no harsh techniques have been used , Just a bit of understanding each way !
