How to Train your AMERICAN COCKER SPANIEL

Training Your American Cocker Spaniel

The American Cocker Spaniel is a highly affectionate, incredibly sweet-tempered, and famously beautiful companion dog. They are sensitive and eager to please.

Key Training Tips:

• Soft, Positive Motivation: They do not respond to raised voices or strict drills. Keep training sessions incredibly gentle, utilizing soft praise and small treats.
• Grooming Training: Their massive, flowing coat requires intense maintenance. Train them from puppyhood to view daily brushing as a positive, relaxing experience.

They are deeply devoted lap dogs that absolutely love having a job to do in obedience or agility.
