Hungarian Vizsla Walker in Wrexham

We class the Vizsla as high energy, and the guide we use is around 120 minutes a day. That is a big daily commitment, and most of it needs to be active: running, sniffing and exploring rather than a stroll round the block.

A Vizsla that misses out tends to let you know. Our walks are there to take a solid chunk of that daily need off your hands, so the time you have with them in the evening can be calmer.

The Clywedog Trail is a good match. It runs about 5.3 miles from Minera past Nant Mill and Bersham to Erddig, and it is flat and mostly surfaced, so we can keep a good rhythm the whole way.

Alyn Waters Country Park is another favourite, with open grass on the Llay side and plenty of space to move. Dogs are welcome in most areas there, and we clean up after every dog as standard.

Solo dog walks suit Vizslas best. You get one walker and one dog for 45 minutes (£20), which means all of the attention stays on your dog, and that matters for a breed that likes to stick close.

For days when you know you will be out for longer, a daycation is worth a look: a day out to the beach or the forest, 3 hours for £30 or 5 hours for £50. It is a much bigger outing than a walk.

Vizslas are often called Velcro dogs for good reason. They attach to their person, so we take time at the meet and greet to let your dog get to know us before the first walk.

The other thing is the need for running. A walk that is all lead and pavement will not touch the sides, so we choose routes with room to move and adjust as we learn how your dog responds. Every walk ends back at your door.
