How to Train your AMERICAN WATER SPANIEL

Training Your American Water Spaniel

The American Water Spaniel is a rare, highly versatile hunting dog that loves water. They are highly intelligent, eager to please, and sometimes stubborn.

Key Training Tips:

• Keep it Fun: They have a great sense of humor but bore easily. Repetitive drills will cause them to ignore you. Use varied, fast-paced games.
• Socialization: They can be aloof or timid with strangers. Expose them to different environments early to build their confidence.
• Water Introduction: Introduce them to swimming positively and early; it is the absolute best way to burn off their high energy.

They are deeply affectionate with their families and respond beautifully to positive, reward-based training.
