Jumping up and spaniels
I've got 2 cocker spaniels of about a year and a half old. We got them when
they were about 6 months - and I don't think they had had any training before that. One is really settled down now, he loves fuss, but he doesn't hassle for it. The other one is a working strain cocker, *full* of energy and constantly bouncing (as they do). But when I sit down and work (I work at home), she will constantly pester me (I guess it's because I'm ignoring her and concentrating on something else), putting her paws up on my lap and trying to disrupt whatever I'm doing. And she's so quick that by the time I've removed her paws, she's got them back up again! And this goes on and on and on..... Any tips about how to stop this? Nothing I've tried seems to deter her! Thank you...... |

She's got about 3 toys around her at all times - and she gets through any
kong you fill in about 30 seconds. While I'm sitting at my desk, I throw her ball for her. She plays with her brother for hours each day - and they have over 2 hours walk off the lead each day in the fields. I can't devote my entire day to keeping a spaniel interested!
