When do I start exercising my vizsla?
Until she has all her vaccinations you should be careful to limit her exposure to other dogs, especially unknown ones, and areas frequented by dogs. If you can find a suitable place, you can start now. Just be aware of the pups energy level and if she gets tired, carry her home. The best way to get a vizsla pup some exercise is find a safe area that’s fenced and let her bomb around. They love to run off leash and sniff around. It’s also a great opportunity to practice your training and you can create and stimulate her desire to follow you by running and having her chase you, frequently letting her catch you and giving lots of praise. It’s preferable to walking on a lead because puppies want to explore and to raise a dog that truly walks well on a lead, anytime they are on the lead they should be paying attention to you, not exploring. That’s a tough thing to do for any length of time with a puppy. Find an appropriate area, let her explore, toss a ball, and let her be a pup.
