The 4-month old Vizsla

Phoenix is 4 months old now. He has been making very good progress. His list of commands that he obeys is quite long, including come, sit, lay, stay, off (get off the couch), leave it, drop it, wait (off leash stop), this way (off leash change directions to follow us), heel (even off leash!), jump, find alex, find lexi, hurry up, and crate. His recall is even good in the presence of other dogs or other fun things. We're extremely proud.

Unfortunately, he still pees in the house on occasion. I think to get our attention. We've begum scolding him more harshly when we catch him. It might be working. This weekend he has had less accidents. I know he can hold it longer, since he sleeps through the night and in his crate for 4.5-5hrs. Hopefully he'll be good for our friends who are puppy sitting him next weekend while we go to a friend's wedding out of state!

Smart pups!! We just adopted a vizla hound mix, she is 6 mo now. Any suggestions on how to tire them out?? Also do you have any aggression/ guarding problems with your guys? Ours thinks she needs to protect when we are out and barks and chases like crazy! When you read this post could you send me an email would like to compare notes :) krystalcaddow@aol.com
