My favorite dog trainer and dog whisperer of all time has just released a free video online explaining how to eliminate 94% of all unwanted behavior in ANY dog.
Her name is Krista Cantrell and I absolutely LOVE the way she teaches.

The English Cocker, far more normally referred to as just a Cocker Spaniel, is frequently a medium sized puppy which is well know for their long droopy ears and their almond shaped eyes. They have silky hair that is slightly wavy and can come in a very enormous verity of colors, from particolors, tricolors, roam, and sound colors (on a stable colored canine a tiny white mark for the chest is the only discoloration allowable). They need to have a defined stop, and a bright, intelligent expression.
The teeth meet in a very scissor bite. The eyes are round, with all the lids currently being a bit almond in shape. The eyes are dark in colour. A feature of this canine is their long, low set ears and these are heavily feathered. The legs are straight. The tails, in countries that permit docking, are docked. The weight is 15- 30 pounds.
The American Cocker Spaniel puppy has a fantastic silky coat that may be flat, or might be slightly wavy. The body fur is medium in length and shorter to the head. The coat comes in strong colour, all colours are accepted. Then it is possible to have parti-coloured, merle, black and tan point’s reliable colour with tan points. The working class field canine have slightly shorter coats. Their life expectancy is 12- 15 years.
History. One with the oldest spaniel breeds, the Cocker Spaniel is often traced back to 14th century Spain, on the other hand at this time all spaniels had been categorized as being the same, then depending on their measurement used to either spring game or flush out woodcock. It was these differences that led on the official separation from the breed into the Springer Spaniels, as well as the Cocker Spaniels in 1892, they also split the general ’spaniel’ breed into other separate breeds that we know today.
Temperament. However, A Cocker Spaniel is in fact a wonderful dog, they are gentle, playful and make some from the ideal companions. They are an outgoing dog, who when appropriately socialized, will very easily take to strangers devoid of any negative behavior.
Health Issues. Cocker Spaniels have an normal life span of around 10-12 years which is only a bit lower than typical for a canine of their size. The most typical medical issues they’ll endure are skin conditions, cataracts, deafness (6%), heart murmurs, and benign tumors. As a result of their long ears they will also be prone to a great deal of ear infections and as with a great deal of puppies they could also suffer from hip dysplasia. This is often a uncommon problem and is mostly only found in show pet lines, it’s believed that syndromes can be traced back again to a person dog, who won at the Westminster Kennel Club and went on to become a top sire. Studies have shown that ‘Rage Syndrome’ happens most frequently in the darker solid coloured Cocker Spaniels, this really is believed to be purely simply because these are the canines most normally bred for the exhibit ring, and not actually a direct link to the color itself.
