Hi Im new to the site. We have just rehomed a 2 year old male vizsla (castrated) ,, and so far so good. We already have a 2 1/2 year old bitch labrador (spayed).
He is doing really well but I just have a few questions. He has displayed a tiny bit of aggression when we try to show affection to our other dog, Im assuning that he is trying to show his dominance. How do we make sure that our Lab becomes the dominant dog ? We think he was probably abused as he is very nervous of men. When he is left out back to dry off from walkies he whines and barks , how do I eliminate this behaviour ? Also we have a dog run that our lab can be locked in, she loves it but obviously the vizsla is not at all happy with the idea, we think this may have been an issue previously. How do we introduce him to the run ?

One last thing, he is a very strong dog and I find it difficult to control him on the lead (our lab is tiny) How do i begin getting him to walk to heal ? Our lab does ...sort of .

All in all though he is a brilliant dog and they are getting on great just looking for a few pointers to make his transition into our family as easy and stress free for him.

Thanks
