Vizslas are a sporting dog and REQUIRE exercise but the amount of exercise will depend upon the dog.

Because Vizsla puppies are still growing and their bones are developing, do not expect your puppy to walk for miles. You can do permanent damage to a Vizsla puppy by pushing beyond what they are capable of doing. Take into consideration the age and overall condition of your pet.

When training your Vizsla use firm, clear and consistent discipline. Out of all the pointing breeds, the Vizsla is one of the softer dogs. They will not do well with harsh training methods. To avoid confusing your new member of the family, everyone in the family should use use the same words to achieve the desired results. Consistency is a must in training your puppy. For example you cannot let your puppy sit on the couch and bed one day and the next day not let it get up on the couch or bed. They don't know the difference. Everyone in your family must send the same message all the time. Vizslas are extremely eager to please if they understand what you want them to do.

You can easily groom a Vizsla at home. Because of their short smooth coat, you can use a hounds mitt to polish it weekly. Keep toenails short by monthly clippings.
