Yep. This ^^ guy is all over the place with commands

Hi to both of you, in the owners defense, he is a first time dog owner and he needs as mush training a his springer. This was the first time they had been to me, he is a lot better now.

Totally agree with you 👍

Litter mate syndrome so train separately and more socialising

Hello Pavlos, many thanks for contacting me. Denji is still to young to start lead work which would sort this behaviour. My best advice is to find a out side enclosed area and to sit down and spend time playing with her. Try a pair of your smelly socks tied up into a ball shape or anything that she likes. Start by playing fetch and tease her with it and reward her with lots of praise. Don't over do it, little and often to keep her keen. Let me know how you get on.

Alright! Thanks you very very much!

@@payloSK8I have the exact same problem with my springer spaniel. She’s 5 months old and is very well trained inside. As soon as I take her out, she’s a different dog and I can’t get her attention no matter what…

Hi Linda, he was only 11 months old at the time of the video.

A harness is the ticket.!

@@timothyflanagan3641 we didn't have much luck w/those. gentle leader helped somewhat

@@cloudbuster77 the day I got the harness it worked so good ,and I don’t have to pull on his neck which made me feel so bad,my springer loves it.!!!

@@timothyflanagan3641 hmm, which brand harness?

@@cloudbuster77 it’s called the Easy Walk,been using it for 10 years still have it,best money I ever spent.!

I couldn't agree more, people who aren't prepared to put in the training shouldn't get a dog like a male springer. Saying that, not every situation is the same.

Many thanks for the comment. These owners were first time dog owners and didn't do the correct puppy training and then came to me when the dog was one year old and out of control. I saw them just twice and things were going really well. Unfortunately they were not able to continue what I told them so things have not got a lot better.

Hi Robert, many thanks for your comment, this springer is a house pet so only needs lead work and recall training, he is not going to be working in the field. Thanks Richard

Hi Catherine, I agree with you regarding the owner. This was the first time that I saw them so training the dog and the owner was paramount.

Hi Mark, it's never to late to train a Springer but it is easier to start at an early age. Once you start stay consistent with your training and don't over do it. Keep you dogs interested in the training, if you notice them loosing interest take a break. Take a look at my KZfaq videos for some guidance. Good luck.

@Working Springer Guernsey thanks for this. I've a 6 year old springer. He's grand in all regards, stays in my proximity, friendly. The irksome things are pulling on the lead and going over to families with dogs when he hears revving or sirens which scare him for some reason.

@@markmccallum475 hi Mark, really good lead work can bring wonders in dog training so work hard on it. Use a slip lead high on his head just behind the ears, and do lots of difection changes. Don't let him put his head down, he has to learn that you are the one in control not him. If you get this right then alot of the other issues should start to get better but it will take time. Be patient and never panic. Strong verbal commands are also important when training. When he does what you want give he lots of praise. Good luck.......

There always ready to learn, you just need to keep in mind there is a delay factor from your command to when it registers to the dog, at that point you are waiting for him or her to decide if they want to do it. I've always joked about my springer or britts saying they all go death at six months. You can be sure they hear you your just waiting for them to decide if they want to do it. They will pick it up fast if it's something they enjoy.

Hi, in my training I try to introduce the dogs to chickens, many people on the island have chicken's. My dog's are trained that chicken's are definitely off the menu.

Sorry.....don't understand

Hi Andy, thanks for getting in touch. Congratulations on getting your springer. First of all don't be tempted to start training to soon, the main thing to start with a new puppy is to spend periods on a one to one with your puppy. It's in these early weeks that you install in your pup the relationship between the two of you. This is all about installing in your pup that you are It's best friend and the one that's fun to be with. You can also introduce some light retrieve games. Get a couple of your smelly socks and fold them into a ball shape a play with the pup with this. With its interest in this throw out the sock ball a few feet and get the pup to bring it back, make it fun and give lots of encouragement. I hope that this helps.

@workingspringerguernsey4961 thanks For the above advice, I have a few toys I throw for her, but yeah I'll start getting her to fetch it and reward her

Hi Peter, we all have different views on the best way to train a wide range of dogs and there owners. I use a wide variety of things to sort out many issues to the benefits of the dogs. No dog has ever suffered at any time in my care.

Hi Dana, many thanks for your comment. If the leash is fitted properly it is the best tool for training a dog lead work. I have never had any neck issues when using one. I would not use one on the smaller breeds as a harness would be better. As for being all over the place, this springer was totally out of control when he turned up, to see the progress in such a short time was pretty good, he is still a work in progress.

Try one

Child?? It’s an 11month old springer? Put a harness on that dog and you’ll never get it too walk properly.

why do people assume that because its round their neck it will harm them? these dogs are highly intelligent and mediately realise not to pull on the lead these dogs are not stupid only some owners. A harness on a Working springer HA HA HA

@@alanbush4192 yes cos you have stupid soft owners with working breeds that they call fur babies who think you can train em with a treat. see where your bit of sausage waving gets you when they get a wiff of scent.
