About the English Springer Spaniel
Known for their happy and enthusiastic field dog with an irresistible urge to flush birds and chase anything that moves, English Springer Spaniels have a tireless enthusiasm and bird-dog drive that makes them joyful companions who can become hyperactive without direction.
Common English Springer Spaniel Training Challenges
The most common challenge English Springer Spaniel owners face is pulling toward every bird and squirrel. Other frequent issues include prey drive, pulling, bird obsession, and excessive energy.

Picture your Springers bouncing off the walls, jumping up constantly, and becoming a spinning, barking tornado the moment they sense it's walk time.
The Right Training Approach for English Springer Spaniels
The key to training a English Springer Spaniel lies in leveraging their natural eagerness to please and incredible responsiveness to praise that makes training sessions feel effortless when done right. Work with their instincts, not against them.
Breed-Specific Training Tip
Springers were bred to flush game birds. Their prey drive is hardwired. Use this to your advantage -- make recall training more exciting than chasing birds by using high-value rewards and game-based training.
Springer Spaniel puppies develop strong prey drive around 5-6 months. Begin recall training with a long line in distracting environments early.
The Transformation
Whether your Springer Spaniel is an exuberant puppy or a 4-year-old who still acts like they had five espressos, the right training approach transforms them. Imagine your bouncy Springer waiting patiently at the door for walks, greeting people with a wiggly sit, and channeling their energy into focused training instead of chaos.
