Behavior

I have a 7 year old male vizsla who has problems with separation anxiety and anxiety in general - shakes when he thinks he might be left and hides under table. Becomes destructive when left alone at times. He's fine when alone with owner and family. How do others deal with this problem?

We'll I am very interested in getting a Vizsla and soon will. But maybe this problem with your dog is just soemthing YOUR dog has. I htink that if you want to get your dog over this. ask the vet if he haas any advice.

Thanks for your response - the litter my dog came from all have this behavior disorder so it may be genetic. Vizsla's do tend to be nervous dogs, but I wouldn't trade them for any other breed. They are wonderful, loving pets. Good luck!

I have a 4 month old female Vizsla and she is already crate trained. When I\'m about to leave, she already knows that she will get a treat, usually a kong stuffed with goodies, and by herself she gets into the crate and waits for the treat. Best to train them right away and always leave some treats in the crate so she/he will think of you leaving her alone as a positive experience.
