Harrison is a 7 year old Vizsla male. He is affectionate, playful and loving. He loves to be people, run and play ball. Unfortunately, he has a biting history. He is not mean, aggressive or vicious. These are some examples of when he gets triggered.
1. Getting cornered in small spaces.
2. Large objects such as boxes
As we now have two grandchildren (2 and 5 years old) his troublesome behavior is a problem.
