It will calm her down some. Intact dogs tend to be a bit more aggressive and edgy then fixed dogs. But sometimes you don’t notice a change in their behavior at all. Time will tell.
Yes. I noticed that after I got all three of my dogs fixed they have calmed down. I think you just wanted to write the b word in there lol
Maybe yes and maybe no. Mostly on the no side. Having females spayed has less of an effect on behaviour than the males unless her behaviour was all sexually driven.
Viszula’s are high energy dogs. Get them involved in some kind of organized exercise like rally, obedience, agility or flyball etc.
Maybe, Maybe Not.
Spaying may calm her down in some respects but in others only training and proper exercise will.
Spaying ** castration are *NOT* BRAIN SURGERIES!!!
TRAINING changes behaviors-NOT whacking out/off reproductive organs!!
Vizlas are a very active breed, spaying isn’t going to change that.
If someone in your family is steady on a bicycle, then having her run along side may be a good way of providing the exercise she needs.
Or at least plenty of off-leash running, fetching balls, frisbies etc may tire her a bit.
Training will help also, make it fun using positive reinforcement methods.
If you say little lady I’m assuming she’s just a young pup.
Be aware that puppies want and need to explore everything, because if she’s been on this planet for only a short while, then EVERYTHING is new to her.
Please do NOT shrug this phenomenon off as her being naughty or a bad dog. If she grabs something she isn’t supposed to (yes, all healthy puppies do this), just redirect her to more appropriate things to play with. Make sure that you make those things more interesting for her than, say, your shoes.
A stuffed Kong toy is a great way to keep her busy and if it tastes better than your shoe, she will prefer the Kong toy.
A treat ball is another great way to keep your puppy busy and as a bonus it will teach her coordination and from there it’s just a small step to train her to play ‘soccer’.
Remember that puppies NEED to chew a lot for proper jaw muscle development and also while they are teething.
So provide plenty of chewy stuff, bones, pig ears and the like.
She’ll calm down somewhat when she gets a little older. Meanwhile, enjoy your very lifely dog.
Edit:
Oh, I forgot the obvious…
Keep all valuables and harmful things out her reach, just like you would if you had a 2 year old child running loose.
