She Live in or out? Shes more an likely very intelligent and by behaving bonkers she knows that you will focus on her wether positive or negative attention.Plus sghe is only 10 months old and is still a pup.Harness her enthuisam.Teach her basic boundries.And have you had aspaniel before,because this is usually the norm> Quote Link to post
danielt 1 Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 The type of food you give them can effect their behaviour aswell. Quote Link to post
Bunny-Blaster 0 Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 If your dog is getting plenty of excersise, I would look at the food your feeding it on....look at the protein content...It would be my guess that the food is very high in protein. Speak to your local pet store owner and look for a lower protein based food...this should help....but you still need to consider the fact that they aint called springers for nothing....its in the blood ! All the best with it Quote Link to post
druimmuir 1 Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Walking is one thing, I can take my spaniels a 10mile walk and they would still bounce off the kennel walls, give them 30mins training and they are knackered, like most dogs they need mental as well as physical exercise, The food is also a good suggestions, food that too high in protein or has horrible added colours can make dog hyper Nicola Quote Link to post

Thanks for the sesible replys lads appreiciate it. Well you really hurt me feelings there ,there I was trying to help and you imply that Im a know all ,I must be the sensitive type unlike yourself who tries the calming tablet approach. You may and got yerself a real hard going springer the ones which people say feck me that dogs a good worker full of energy full of get and up go ,never tires in the field.but you know what there a fecker too triain and get too a standard. I would check the protien level in the food and start by getting it trained.You never answered about what stage its training at ,nor does it live in or kennelled?Do want is a rough shooting dog or peg dog .Nor did you say or imply that you had another springer or trained one.. Yours with hurt feelings mr know it all. :cry: Quote Link to post
