This rubber brush has been amazing for us. Those little hairs always just get stuck into whatever soft surface they sleep on.

I’d have to ask my mum, since she was the one who got them, but I found these collars for sale. Note that the first only ships to Hungary.

My V’s skin used to look exactly like this. We got him allergy tested and it turns out he’s highly sensitive to dust mites and storage mites. We’ve managed it with topical products and allergy drops from the vet (hexa brand) and his skin is hive-free except for the occasional flare up!
I recommend going to the vet and doing allergy testing and using the allergy drops if the vet suggests it. The drops are a little pricey but they’ve worked really well for us! We also use medicated shampoo from the vet and this Duoxo foam from Amazon. Our vet specifically recommended getting the foam because it has something in it that the wipes and other products don’t have. Douxo Chlorhexidine PS + Climbazole Mousse 200ml (6.8 oz) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07B17MW4M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_RQhkFbJ6VHEQM
Good luck! I hope you’re able to figure out the cause and treat it :)
Cuddle cave my friend: Spot Sleep Zone Cuddle, Faux Suede Cave Dog Bed - Fabric Bottom - 22X17 Inches/Chocolate / Attractive, Durable, Comfortable, Washable Ethical Pets https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00W4YQUXQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_VrJPBbT1T3PY9
I found it good, though we still felt unprepared haha
They’re Kurgo Skipping Stones. We put them away when we’re done playing. They’re soft. We had one V that would chew it up if she was just hanging out with it.
Where on her paw is it? Our girl tore her carpal pad open and we used this: NeoAlly Dog Braces Front Leg... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079P8XL5Q?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
We mainly used this when we went on our off leash adventures and when home, we used a small compression sock that we cut and put a stretchy seam on both ends so she had a hard time taking it off. Maybe something like this will help?
I do lots of puppy puzzles like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B087DP178W?th=1
You have to mix them up a bit once they figure them out they do them at light speed.
I also have dozens of chew toys. The Kon balls that you can pack food in work great. Also chew treats are good and the ice mentioned below works great.
Mine bites too but its is not hard at all and I allow it when we do a certain kind of play but it is not allowed when we train or are doing cuddle time. This might be a bad way to do it but she seems to need it a little bit and she is very gentle.
Had a lot of similar problems like this with our doggo when she was younger. She’s not a v though, just follow this sub because our next doggo probably will be.
I cut out chicken and I think that helped us a bunch.
Also when she had a bout of very loose stools this would help her firm up. One pack a day maybe for two days was all it took. Just mixed it in her food with water.
Purina FortiFlora Probiotics for... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001650NNW?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Our doggo is a Pitti/Rotti/gad/lab mix. Once I found a good set of food for her we don’t have the problem any more.
She gets purina pro beef kibble, purina pro beef wet food, real turkey, mixed vegetables, calf liver, raw eggs with shell in a variety of rotations. The kibble and vegetables she gets with every meal per her vet. Sometimes she gets lamb if I can’t find beef. I know there is chicken in everything it seems, but I do the best I can to find no or little chicken.
Hope this helps…
this is what I've used on my Vs
Use a little dropper to put some in the ear, then give a good 1-2 minute massage. They shake it out and you're good to go. You can use a wipe if there's wax/gunk that comes out after the shake, but generally no wipe is needed.
These door locks are a life saver! Luckily our v has never figured out handles, but we have these for our kid and I'm sure they'd stop the dog as well!

Our guy is 45lbs and he's in a size large in the picture. We also have an x-large, he loves them both!
Are you planning on hunting?
I only ask because if you're not going to hunt then you ca be much more relaxed with the retrieving.
If no hunting, then I would do excatly what you are doing.
Finding things by name is really good and just up the hardness.
Doing blind retrieves with toys is always fun. A blind retrieve is just making it so they don't see where you are hiding the toy.
An example is making them sit and wait I a room and hide the toy in a diffrent room. You can modify that for outdoor as well.
A really good book which covers a ton of stuff:
Vizsla: The Complete Owners Guide https://www.amazon.ca/dp/1910915122?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Or if you're looking at having a fully trained hunting dog I would recommend:

Those videos are the creme de La Creme of teaching pointers hpe to hunt.
We’ve had a similar experience with our V. She’s 13 months and we’ve only been able to file her nails when she was little. Adolescence hit and she wouldn’t let us come close (we never hit the quick either). Once the dremel and clippers came out, she was completely avoidant with obvious anxiety (yawning, ears pinned, lip licking, tail tucked). Been researching cooperative care/husbandry and came across this class (just started it): https://tromplo.com/course/empowered-dogs-cooperative-husbandry-training-part-1/. So far we’ve progressed to the point of me being able to touch the dremel and her paw at the same time, but not bring the dremel to her paw (at least the dremel is turned on though). Another popular book is: Cooperative Care: Seven Steps to Stress-Free Husbandry https://www.amazon.com/dp/0578423138/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_4EJZX1A6BGAM7YQB15YY?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1. This will be my next purchase in hopes to making it stress free. Hope this helps!!
we use mushers dog paw treatment since the booties didn’t work for us so we just rub it on before we go in the snow and she’s had no cracks this year https://www.chewy.com/mushers-secret-paw-protection-natural/dp/128336?utm_source=google-product&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=hg&utm_content=Musher%27s%20Secret&utm_term=&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI4sPAoPyT9QIV6SGtBh1i-QXQEAQYASABEgI5KPD_BwE

We have a size large and an x-large, our V is just over 40lbs and he fits in both comfortably, though it's getting a bit snug in the size large
Thanks! We got this one on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005GZ1YWM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_0E9P15ED1XPK1DZB3PTD?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 He likes to chew and shake it around from time to time, still holding up well.
Thanks! Great advice. Is this the book you were referring to?
We actually got her to learn “sit” last night which was exciting. And no accidents over night. She’s really good about saying “hey, we gotta go now” at 5am. She seems to be getting more comfortable also and is getting a little more confident / stubborn.
This is my first Vizsla also. Had Golden’s my whole life prior to this.

its called a flirt pole u can find it anywehere especially amazon
We have been through this with an itchy girl who is now 10. We found that regular omega-3 fatty acid supplement helps. I like the liquid pump version we get at amazon.
Vetoquinol Triglyceride Omega Liquid Pump - 8oz https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005JW2RS2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_C5TFCb2K1QDDV
Trial and error to find the key ingredient for her allergy didn’t work for us. The time they need to be on a clean diet (weeks) to clear their system and then introducing a single element at a time wasn’t practical for us after about 3 months of trying.
This book helped me a lot:
Before and After Getting Your Puppy: The Positive Approach to Raising a Happy, Healthy, and Well-Behaved Dog https://www.amazon.com/dp/1577314557/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fab_L.3AFbXBT4DRV
My V is not a great running companion. He wants to sprint and investigate then sprint again. It is possible to run with him with a running lease/ belt. It is still a pain though.
​
We love biking together! The bike tow leash is the best peace of Vizsle gear that I have purchased. 100% would purchase again. There is a steep earning curve and strangers sometimes stop us, because they think that it is bad for the dog. But we love it.
​
Aggressive behavior can be avoided by proper socialization as puppies. I recommend Before and After getting you Puppy . My V loves strangers and other dogs. I credit this book.
This book helped me a lot when my V was a puppy. I was utterly overwhelmed. This book saved me from a lot of trouble.
It's a Coolaroo bed! We love it - and so does our pup :)
I remember that time with my V. This book helped me a lot with crate training and everything else. Sounds like you are doing well though.

If you're located near the states, this is a good option, too. I travel with my V in it all the time. BarksBar Pet Car Seat Cover With Seat Anchors for Cars, Trucks, and Suv's - Black, WaterProof & NonSlip Backing Regular https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013VPZTAQ/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_L7FbybZ511801
Is your dog still intact? I'm guessing he's been neutered but if not, that's first.
How much exercise? Many, many problem I've had with my V have been solved by insane amounts of free exercise (not running with you, he's too young). So if the problem is happening at the dog park, take him to a field and have him retrieve for an hour, then take him straight to a dog park. Wringing some of the energy out of the dog should set him up to win.
My female is intact and just turned two. She occasionally does some pretty mean (vocal) resource guarding with other dogs, but I've never feared she would tear into another dog. My first line of defense when this happens is to call her to come to me. If she ignores this, I use a Garmin collar on vibrate. She was trained to know vibrate or a beep means stop. (if you haven't used a collar in any capacity make sure you do research on how to use them effectively. you can really confuse them if they're not used properly. I also have the electrodes covered on mine with electrical tape. I think V's are too soft for shocking) If it's really, really bad (very rare) I'll grab her and point her at my face and give a stern (not screaming) NO w eye contact-pause-and then give her an OK to go back to hell raising.
Also, I had a friend who was raising a German Shepherd pup which became out of control with guarding. He swears by this book which I've not read: http://www.amazon.com/Dog-Whisperer-Compassionate-Nonviolent-Approach/dp/1593375980/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8
Helped him immensely.
My Visla is 7 months old and loves to run, she is off leash trained but I do use a training collar. I don't shock her, just use the vibrate or the beeper and she comes right back to me. I was surprised how easy it was to train her to be off collar, she will chase anything that runs away but a beep from the collar and she comes right back.

Reading this book is the single most important preparation that I did. My only regret is that I did not fully follow all of the instructions. But, to the extent that I did, I avoided a lot of trouble. Your local library likely has a copy.
For those wondering where OP bought it from, here you go: Link
I will give her the benefit of the doubt. She might have rescued the dog herself at age where he was already too old to socialize.
For anyone else thinking about getting a puppy of any breed, please, read this book: http://www.amazon.com/Before-After-Getting-Your-Puppy/dp/1577314557
Just copying what I said in the linked thread, but any advice for someone from the UK? Is it really worth £120?

There are different sizes, but just so you have the link: here it is
sometimes, but i think it's more likely something in that paw thats bothering them. So maybe some snow got stuck in there or perhaps hurt it on some ice chunk.
You could try putting some Musher's secret on their paws and in between the toes. Supposed to help snow/ice from balling up in there and bothering them.
