d'awww he's so cuuute! I want a cocker spaniel puppy and I'll name her Lady. I just hope my German Shepherd doesn't eat her... his name is Kaiser, he doesn't play very well with small animals :/
My golden English, Sammy was my service dog. He looked EXACTLY like this guy--only bigger. Trained to be a seizure dog..he could warn me before I had the seizure. We also taught him what to do IF/when I had a grand mal. He could also detect this in other people too. I had him in harness at a Home Depot and folks were ALWAYS coming up, wanting to pet him, talk about him. I didn’t say what kind of service dog he was--It just said “Service Dog” on his vest. Then Sammy walked over to this guy, “woofed” and gently nudged his hand. I asked the guy “Ever had seizures?” He said “Yes as a kid.” With that he started to lose consciousness. I’m a neurological nurse practitioner with bedside nursing experience too, so I knew how to support him as he slipped to the floor. Sammy knew what to do without any commands. (Obviously if I were having a seizure I couldn’t give him commands,) Sammy got down and crawled under the guy’s head. This was to keep the guy from hurting his head (banging on the floor) when he had the tonic-clonic muscle spasms. I called 911 on my phone. I did turn the guy over on his side. Sammy stayed right there--making a pillow for the guy, not moving. Then when the seizure was over, Sammy crawled out, spread his body over the guy’s body in a protective mode. He stayed right there until the guy came around in a few minutes...then Sammy sat at his head watching him carefully. The paramedics came, I gave them my business card and said “Have the doc give me a call.” You can’t remember what happens during a seizure so the doctor would need me to tell him what happened. Then the ambulance left. By this time there were about 40 people watching..they clapped for Sammy. Then this woman in the crowd said “Can you make him do it again?” I looked at her and said “It’s NOT a trick!” My Sammy couldn’t do all the “tricks” in the video, but he saved my life many times. He was at my side--airplanes, boats, escalators, on loud casino floors, at my side in bed when I would be recuperating from surgery--NEVER LEFT MY SIDE for twelve years. Then he left last June..forever. Oh how I miss my little boy!!
I have an english cocker spaniel and he is 7 weeks old. H e is getting his teeth now and he bites everything. Can anyone help me with that as to how to train him. Thanks in advance
I don't know how much help this will be but maybe if you give your dog toys to chew on they won't feel the need to chew on anything else? I'm not an expert or anything so I wouldn't know but I did that for my Maltese and it worked fine
I remember when my cocker was a puppy she chewed and bit everything, toys, toys and more toys, your doggie will grow out of it naturally. Re: training..... Treat them when they respond to a command and reinforce with lots of praise after.
