Congrats to the winners!

Been looking forward to this. Interesting watch, Our boy is the same age as mac, and weve obviously given him to much freedom in the garden. Is it to late to restict him a bit.

[@ryandowd2259]

Please could i have your view on tail docking for cockers. It would appear that Mac is docked. Thank you

[@hampshirespanieltrainingwi9314]

Both Cocker and springs by nature have a very vivid tail action and in the job that they're meant to do they're very prone to splitting and damaging the end of the tail. This can then lead to infections and then serious issues. It doesn't happen in all cases but to avoid this they would be docked normally at three days old along with due claws be removed as other injuries can also be caused

Can you give some insight on how to teach sit to flush? I am trying to get my cocker pup ready for rabbits but fear him getting shot if he chases after the flush

Great video Chris....👍👍

Hello, question here. My 10 week old cocker goes after the retrieve but doesn’t want me to take it from him after he comes back to me. When I take it out of his mouth he goes after my hands and clothes. How do you deal with this or puppy biting in general? Thanks for the videos they are very useful!

Congrats to the winners, about 5 weeks until little Koda is collected, and I will be dropping you a message for a puppy starter pack 👍

Great news

I believe I have a working cocker, 8 months old. Her sniff desire is strong, so much that she forgets to go to the bathroom when we take her out. Anyway to redirect that?

[@luciesaunders2699]

Would you include their name in this? Thanks

Hi Chris. My 16 week cocker pup is reliable out and back, but he nearly always plays with the retrieve and rolls around next to me or tries to play 'tug' - he doesn't want to come up on my lap. He doesn't really have any toys, just a rubber lump for teething, but he definitely picked up a few bad habits at the breeders and I got him at 10 weeks so playing catch up to a degree. Any tips for beginning to encourage him to better delivery? Your videos and puppy pack have been a massive help, thanks

[@hampshirespanieltrainingwi9314]

It's really hard without seeing your individual situation but the main thing is having a limited space and trying to make the decision as to when he needs to take the retrieve everyone situation is slightly different and that's the problem with making videos is that I can only show how I'm going about dealing with my individual dog dog

[@henduaij2942]

How many times have meals ?

[@Smokingdude12]

Can you advise, we just got a working cocker, 8 weeks old and the vet has told us they can’t go in the garden until second jabs in 3 weeks, we can’t get them using the garden to go to the toilet for three weeks? Seems a bit silly.

[@hampshirespanieltrainingwi9314]

You should be absolutely fine to let your dog out in your garden The main thing is your dog doesn't come into contact with other dogs that you do not know the vaccination history of

@@hampshirespanieltrainingwi9314 thanks for this, we do live in a rural area and have foxes occasionally in the garden but he wouldn’t come into contact with them and we are using a small pen to let him out in

[@Smokingdude12]

@@hampshirespanieltrainingwi9314 thanks, we do occasionally have foxes in the garden as we live in a rural area but we’ve penned off a small part of the garden that we thought he could use until the vet told us we have to keep him inside for 3 weeks

Hi there. We have an 11 weeks old English Cocker Spaniël. She’s not a working cocker. Can we still do some more serious training? I want to train her too some degree but only see training videos for working cockers. How similar are they?

[@hampshirespanieltrainingwi9314]

I do work with some show, Cockers sometimes they can still have a strong retrieving drive. I do work with someone in France who has a nice working Cocker. They just tend to do things a little slower that's all.

[@joesfreshaquatics6488]

Of course you can, build prey drive, start conditions behaviors you want with a corrections and reward system. Your dog might not have the best genetics for work but doesnt mean you can get your dog to be the best it can be at work. Meaning you can possibly get your dog as trained up as needed to go hunt something friend!

[@nayanmistry4641]

Hey Chris, Mac is gorgeous. I'm looking to get a black show cocker myself. Hoping to use your training material to training the pup where he/she can be a good house pet. With your experience would you recommend a male or female pup for a first time dog owner who is looking for an affectionate easily trainable partner in crime. I'm just looking for some guidance. Cheers 🙏

[@hampshirespanieltrainingwi9314]

Dogs are like humans you can get happy ones sad ones positive negative drive no drive in dogs and bitches personally I prefer dogs but it really doesn't matter. It's about choosing the right pup really☺️

[@nayanmistry4641]

@hampshirespanieltrainingwi9314 cheers for your input. I guess as long as the pup is happy healthy and willing to bond
