Springer Spaniel Training

Fast, keen and always on the scent. When that turns into vanishing on walks, pulling on the lead or never settling at home, here’s why it happens and how our Springer Spaniel training helps.

A working gundog bred to hunt all day. Without a job, that energy finds its own outlets.

Friendly and people focused, but easily wound up by noise, movement and scent.

Keen to work and quick to learn when training feels like a game.

Disappearing after scent, pulling, chasing and struggling to settle are the most common problems.

English Springer Spaniels were bred to find and flush game, working ahead of the handler for hours at a time. Working lines in particular have huge drive. Long walks alone rarely tire them; they need to use their brain and nose too.

Following a scent and ignoring you. We build recall around real distractions, step by step.

Nose down and towing ahead. We teach loose lead walking with rewards that beat the scent.

Birds, squirrels and anything that moves. We build impulse control and a reliable stop.

Spinning, whining and jumping up. We teach calm first, then fun.

Pacing and never switching off at home. We teach your dog how to rest.

Whining or chewing when left alone. We build up time apart in small, easy steps.
