How to Train your ENGLISH COCKER SPANIEL

Training Your English Toy Spaniel

The English Toy Spaniel is a quiet, incredibly docile, and deeply affectionate lap dog. They are less active than the Cavalier and highly sensitive.

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.
• Socialization: They are naturally timid and can become overly fearful of strangers. Expose them gently to varied environments to build their confidence.
• Basic Manners: Focus on simple commands like sit, stay, and loose-leash walking. They are not built for agility or intense obedience trials.

They are the ultimate relaxed companions, preferring a quiet home and a warm lap over vigorous training sessions.
