Vizsla Puppy Heaven in Cardiff

Thursday 2nd May 2019

Fantastic day again with the gorgeous J, the 10 week old Vizsla puppy. We planned for his developmental and socialisation needs in each visit but also focused on scent games to support his innate need for opportunities to participate in his natural behaviours.
