Chapter 13 - Training
Before going into the details of training a young dog for the
gun it is essential to acknowledge your own objectives and the
capability of your pupil. There are two very important basic
rules involved in training Vizslas:
1. Mean what you say and say what you mean
2. Trust your dog
Vizslas take many roles in the field – a rough-shooter's dog who
accompanies his master on forays up hedges, in woods, over
stubble and across water. Here he is expected to be a genuine
jack of all trades.
