History of My Breed

Care Tips
from Dr. Jessica Greenberg, Associate VeterinarianMaintain your Cocker Spaniel’s ears.
Cocker Spaniels are known to have frequent ear infections, so be alert from the start and regularly check your dog’s ears for infection.
Watch out for your Cocker's allergies.
Cocker Spaniels are prone to skin allergies, like dermatitis, so keep an eye out for irritated areas of the skin. Skin can become red, flaky, and itchy and the irritation can also spread fairly quickly. Talk to your vet about giving your dog allergy medication, or about topical ointments and treatments that can help ease irritation.
Be cautious of your dog’s trachea.
Tracheal collapses are common in many small dog breeds. Mild cases do not need any intervention and more severe cases can be managed with medication. Surgery is rarely needed and maintaining a dog’s weight to prevent obesity is helpful in preventing this condition.

Training Tips
from Dr. Jessica Greenberg, Associate VeterinarianPotty train early and tightly.
While potty training, take your Cocker Spaniel outside frequently so you gain an understanding of their restroom schedule. Designate a specific spot for them to go outside and take them to that spot on a leash. Give them a huge amount of praise when they do their business outside, but ignore them when they go anywhere else. If ignoring them isn’t working, put bitter apple spray on spots to give off a scent that repulses them from the area.
Exercise your Cocker's mental muscles.
Keep your Cocker Spaniel sharp by giving them treat puzzles and consistently training them. Be wary of letting your dog’s training plateau. All dogs thrive from opportunities to keep learning new things.
Invite your Cocker onto furniture.
Instead of picking your Cocker Spaniel pup up to take them to furniture, invite them up onto furniture. You should have some control over cuddling on furniture, otherwise they’ll feel like the couch and bed are theirs and they won’t have to listen to you. If you’re going to make your Spaniel a lap dog, pick a spot where you let them sit in your lap. Don’t let them cuddle with you on everything, although you may feel the urge to. There have to be boundaries somewhere.
