5 Reasons Springer Spaniel Owners Swear By This Guide (+ 1 Bonus Tip)

Boundless energy, recall that vanishes near birds and grass seeds everywhere. Why more Springer owners are swapping generic tips for a guide written just for their breed.

If you share your home with a Springer Spaniel, you'll know the energy. A long walk barely touches the sides. Recall works perfectly until a pheasant appears. The lead feels like it's attached to a small engine, and summer means checking ears and paws for grass seeds after every walk.

None of this means your Springer is ignoring you. Springers were bred to search for birds all day, at speed, through anything. They're doing exactly what they were made for, just not always when you'd like.

That's why so many owners are turning to The Complete Springer Spaniel Collection: 7 step-by-step guides written only for Springers. Here's why it's working for them.

1 It's written for Springers, not "dogs in general"

Springer Spaniels were bred to "spring" game from cover for hunters, working tirelessly through hedges, brambles and water. That drive is still there in every Springer, whether they live on a farm or in a flat.

Generic training advice rarely accounts for a dog this driven. It tells you to walk them more, but a fitter Springer just needs even more.

Every guide in the collection works with the hunter in your Springer, giving that drive a job so you get a happier, calmer dog at home.

2 Recall that holds up outdoors

Most recall training starts in the field, which is exactly where a Springer is least likely to listen. Birds, rabbits and scents win every time.

The Springer Recall and Hunting Guide builds recall the right way round: at home first, then the garden, then quiet places, with rewards your Springer really wants and a long line for safety while you build up.

It takes patience, but a Springer who comes back reliably is a Springer you can enjoy walks with.

3 A job for the hunting instinct

An under-worked Springer will find its own work: barking, chewing, zooming round the house or stealing anything left within reach.

The guides show you how to give that instinct proper work: scent games in the garden, hide-and-seek with toys and simple searches that tire the brain far more than another run.

Ten minutes of the right kind of work often settles a Springer better than an extra hour of running.

4 Ears, coat and grass seeds

Springers dive into long grass, hedgerows and water, and their ears and feathered coats bring back all sorts, including grass seeds that can work their way into ears, paws and skin.

The Springer Ears, Coat and Grass Seed Guide gives you a quick after-walk check, a weekly ear routine and simple brushing for the feathering.

It's one of the best habits you can build with a Springer. (If you notice head shaking, licking a paw or a lump, your vet is the first call.)

5 Puppy to grown-up, all in one collection

Whether you've just brought home a puppy or you're living with a full-throttle adult, it's all covered. You get the Complete Springer Spaniel Puppy Guide, the Complete Springer Spaniel Adult Guide and five bonus guides.

Those cover recall and hunting, ears, coat and grass seeds, pulling, barking and toilet habits. 7 guides in total, all written for Springers.

Every guide is broken into short daily steps that fit around your day. Read them on your phone, tablet or computer, or print the checklists for the fridge.

Bonus tip

Use a long line, not off-lead hope

While you're building recall, clip a long training line (around ten metres) to a well-fitted harness. Your Springer gets freedom to sniff and explore, and you keep a way to stop them chasing.

Reward every check-in generously. Over time, coming back to you becomes a habit, and the line can come off in safe places. It's one of dozens of simple, breed-specific ideas inside the collection.
