Indoor & Outdoor Playtimes
A day at Vizsland includes lots of time outdoors on our playground, on walks, or hiking in the park. There is also tons of indoors play time with other Vizslas!
We have a very limited number of spots available each day/evening, which ensures your Vizsla is given lots of attention, love, and playtime!

Nap Time!

Nap time at Vizsland gives us (and the Vizslas) half-an-hour or so to recharge our batteries. While the pups doze we make some mean expresso drinks to gear us up for afternoon activities!
Why Vizsland?
I used to feel bad taking my Vizsla, Gatsby, to the doggy daycare where he would be thrown into a small space with as many 40-50 other dogs of all sorts -- and all different temperaments. The dogs were never taken outside, did not have an outdoor playground, had no toys, personal attention, walks or hikes. I would pick Gatsby up at the end of the day, where I would find him somewhat traumatized. He refused to get out of my lap (with his head on my shoulder) for the whole ride home. Vizsland was born from this experience.
BUT, even so, I can't stress enough how important it is for a dog to be presented with all kinds of dogs (and strangers) in a myriad of other settings. Expose your pup to anyone and everyone, every dog and every situation! Very important -- because the more s/he is exposed to everyone and everything around them, the more they will be happy, un-stressed, Zen- like beings.
So, again, socializing a Vizsla with other dogs of all sorts is very, very important. One of Gatsby's best friends is actually a golden Lab named Ada, and another dog named Zahara.
However, our magic formula? When Vizslas are brought together to do rigorous exercise and playing they know they are on common, playful ground and are lost in being themselves with each other. I wished for Gatsby to be in the care of people who love and understand Vizslas and their special needs: your dog can now experience this at Vizsland!
