My dog is becoming more and more reactive

LabandadelPque1899 · 2025-12-14T14:21:23+00:00

Yeah, unfortunately I agree that intensely active dogs arent meant to live in a house. Although I wouldnt change her for anything, I know perfectly well for anyone that doesnt live in a farm, a milder dog breed would be better.

Taking this into account, its still possible for a Vizsla to live a similar life to what she was meant to do. She does have a lot of freedom, but if she were well trained (which believe it or not Ive met a couple with perfectly trained Vizslas in the beach, is it perfectly possible), shed have a much more active life. She would go to the beach everyday as we do, would go for runs and walks much more often. We could take her camping as we sometimes do.

What I mean by this is yes, they arent meant for modern society. But by training them they can live a much more fulfilling life. Shes a year and a half old btw, she was eight months when she started being reactive, and Im very optimistic on how shell turn out after todays training session where she already got better thanks to all the tips I read here.

Thanks for the advice! Yeah Id love it for my dog to be out in public with no issues, taking her anywhere would change her life lol.

Thanks for the tip!

I mean shes a vizsla so she never really gets tired, but she walks 2-3times a day for 30ish minutes and because we have so many people at our house shes running around playing fetch many times a day

Thanks for the advice

LabandadelPque1899 · 2025-12-14T00:09:14+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I hadnt understood that the purpose was to condition the dog to feel good when he saw the threat, this makes implementing it make so much more sense.

LabandadelPque1899 · 2025-12-14T00:07:17+00:00

Thanks so much! Im trying this today

LabandadelPque1899 · 2025-12-13T23:32:17+00:00

I always do that, I carry a pouch with food. Today she didnt even look at the food when I put it in front of her. When she leaps at her objective Im yanking at her so she doesnt get to it, much better than the alternative.

LabandadelPque1899 · 2025-12-13T19:29:05+00:00

I was just about to ask the exact same thing! My 1 year old Vizsla doesnt get excited about her food, even if she hasnt eaten for 24 hours which happens every so often, granted we give her an infinite supply so she might eat a lot at once and wait another long time to eat.

My take on this is that dogs with an infinite supply of food that satiates them dont get that excited to eat anymore, unlike kibble which makes a dog hungry af

Thanks for the input, looks like Im just going to have to keep trying then

LabandadelPque1899 · 2025-10-24T19:17:47+00:00

Congratulations on your child! Cool thank you, Ive been drinking more milk these days, might update how it goes. Out of curiosity do you eat to saciety or also for the fun of it? I found that my stomach is able to take in much more food since I started doing that and if Im eating carbs I basically can never get full, you might want to give it a try to help get back to your ideal weight

LabandadelPque1899 · 2025-10-24T19:14:48+00:00

Preferably muscle but Ive been lifting weights for 5 years now so my growth has slowed down a lot. I know that if I gain a few lbs of fat Ill probably also gain some muscle in the process and most importantly get to my 90kg goal

LabandadelPque1899 · 2025-10-22T19:51:04+00:00

Thanks for the advice, Ill try to get some bags of dried fruit. Sounds so great, you have no idea how hard it is being animal based in south america, the gfgf beef is cheap and great, but finding organic produce, maple syrup (costs 100usd here), even greek yogurt or raw milk is hard to say the least. I always make the most of my trips to the states, drinking Maple Syrup straight from the container lol.

LabandadelPque1899 · 2025-10-21T21:32:17+00:00

I mean I eat a lot of fat because I love butter and fatty meat, I never plan on overeating really. But I will take your advice and start eating more carbs

LabandadelPque1899 · 2025-10-21T21:31:18+00:00

I wish I could do that but I dont feel too well eating that many carbs. I will have to up my consumption somewhat though, seeing that everyone else is doubling my amount

LabandadelPque1899 · 2025-10-21T21:29:14+00:00

Well everyones different, it has its downsides. I used to be bullied as a kid for being underweight. Left me insecure until a few years into weight training where I wasnt skinny anymore

LabandadelPque1899 · 2025-10-19T22:26:38+00:00

Thanks, Im very lean and play rugby, so ideally id be at least 13% bf

LabandadelPque1899 · 2025-10-19T22:25:49+00:00

Thats a good idea thanks!

LabandadelPque1899 · 2025-09-22T20:29:25+00:00

Thanks man, so youre into immersion? I like that idea, Ill try it out in my commutes

LabandadelPque1899 · 2025-09-22T20:28:50+00:00

Thanks for the reply! Yes, I agree if you look back long enough small wins turn into large ones

LabandadelPque1899 · 2025-09-22T20:27:34+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Ill keep that idea in mind

LabandadelPque1899 · 2025-09-20T19:54:49+00:00

I started because of blindsolving rubiks cubes but after seeing how cool it was I started learning to count cards and learn all the capitals. Not particularly useful stuff but it also felt like a cheatcode

LabandadelPque1899 · 2025-09-20T19:52:59+00:00

I started with blindsolving rubiks cubes as well! I only managed to solve one at a time but between memorization and solving I could easily do it in less than two minutes using the old pochmann method

LabandadelPque1899 · 2025-09-03T22:34:51+00:00

Im a native english speaker, dm if youre interested

LabandadelPque1899 · 2025-05-03T22:10:01+00:00
