Sh's 9/10 yrs but very fit, she has had pups herself a couple of years ago and one of her daughters was kept by the previuos owner to replace her there have been no problems with any pups we meet on walks. She has come on a lot more than said in my post her confidence levels are going up in leaps an...

that's true, but she was used to living with 2 other dogs and does enjoy interaction with other dogs so the pup is being thought of partly for her, as i think she would enjoy having a do pal

hi haven't posted on here for ages , selling our house and family problems being the main cause ! I had posted before asking adviece for bracken as she had been horribly abused for all her life it was suggested i tried clicker training with her and it has really helped, so thank you. she has been wi...

Hi I have a 9yo vizsla who we got last december, she has much of the behaviours you describe, she had 9yrs of being battered and starved until she came to us, the first time I went to get her off the couch by putting my hand out to gently take her collar, she cowered down screaming, she was so scare...

I'm not experianced in this with dogs but i have had 2 young horses in my life that were both left with mum and weaned naturally and the difference in them was amazing. they were so confident, laid back horses, took everything in their stride nothing fazed them, being 'broken' was a doddle, compared...

Hi not very experianced with dogs but have rehabed other animals but your boy has only been with you a couple of days and I think you are maybe expecting too much from him at this point. He needs time to settle and don't forget for the formative months of his life he has been trained to go inside, T...

it's my friend who owns both dogs . A working dog type is fine by me as my vizsla requires lots of exercise when she's not out hunting with my hubby and as both dogs have fantastic temprements and are good dogs if she bred them we may be interested in getting one, Thanks for that info

Thanks for your advice, folks, I have thought it's to do with the stress of beinging moved as when we first got her she actually broke the skin on her back but it soon cleared up but the licking isn't as bad as it was. we do have a quiet house just me n hubby and he doesn't like lots of noise anyway...

hi as anyone experiance of this cross or know where I can accsess info, have tried on web but can't seem to find anything, so hoping someone on here can help !

the only thing that could be causing her stress is thst we have only had her since the begining of Dec and she was in the same home for the past 9 years where she suffered a hellova abuse and poor diet and now isn;t so isn't settled yet ?

Hope someone can shed light on this. bracken licks herself frequently and it's not just the important little places, she will lick her legs, chest and anywhere she can reach. It's not frantic quite methodical, in fact ! She will also lick any part of me if she can, be it bare skin or clothes. I have...

Thank you all for sharing your experiances and advice, which i will be listening to. I have rehabbed horses in the past and am used to keeping calm in stressed situations, maybe being a ex psychiatric nurse helps too ! :D I have used clicker training with a young horse I had some years ago when she ...

hi Anyone here help ? At the beging of Dec last year we got a Hungerian wirehaired vizla ***** rising 9, Bracken. She was in terrible condition, toast rack on legs, cowering etc we have since found out a bit more about her past, she has been battered, kicked etc her feeding consisted of being thrown...

hi just like to introduce myself, I'm Denise live in Aberdeen Scotland. I'm 50yrs young and have got my first dog since being a kid 6 weeks ago ! Though I have always had animals in my life, horses cats, ferrets etc only now do I have a hubby who likes animals, the first one wasn't animal minded at ...
