Our first Springer was never interested in the ball, unless another dog was after it.She was also cheeky and a bit stubborn, but was a fantastic hunter, she would never give up.Even at 12 years old, she still had the drive to keep going, was super fit, we had to be carefull she didn't overheat, in the hot weather we have in Aus.The Springer we now have is ball crazy and extremely obedient, just enjoys doing what she is told to do.Also much more patient and not a great hunter.Both great companions, and family dogs.😍

Got to love a little cocker devils but I do love my springer who is a little textbook dog to work and train

[nicolasmith]

This is very helpful and I’ve recommended it to a few folk who’ve asked me the difference on a walk. I have a springer choosing that because I heard they were slightly easier to train. …. All I can say from my pup is I couldn’t have coped with it being harder! 🤣🤦‍♀️😐

Our springers are show dogs wouldn’t chase after anything we have rabbits living in the yard dog could care less. They are however the most lovable dogs I have ever had great companions as well. Love you shows.

Springers are relentless the drive in them is unreal

I have 2 working springers. Adore them both and definitely people pleasers! Looking to add a working cocker so this was very useful

Perfectly described our cocker, where there's no game she just potters about, ask her to hunt and she almost looks at you and asks 'what for?' also a bit meh about retrieving tennis balls and canvas dummies.
Put her on scent or use a rabbit skin dummy or cold game and it's like she's 100% a different dog, and yes you have to have your wits about you then too!

I found Cockers bark more and are a bit territorial. But agree the Springer is easier. I now have a Sprocker which is an eye opener.

My springer girl daisy is absolutely best dog I’ve owned crazy but extremely good with my kids and other pets and peoples dogs and she’s starting to get the drive to chase and get into bushes amazing dogs

[zosiavanderschoof]

i have a showline springer and a cocker before really difrent a showline springer as the hunting line you have there. both of them have a lovely karakter

My cocker died in 1981 and I miss him to this day.

How is a ball orientated dog easier to train, do you have a vid about that ?

[outdoorsman]

Thanks. And the Sprocker? Are they in the middle, or is it pot luck what you get?

[mikewilliams]

Your videos are so helpful. I’ve had 2 cockers and I’ve taken the plunge and got a springer bitch. 4 months old. Where do I need to be with her in terms of training at this age?

[alicecourtney]

And if you have a mix, like me - cavalier/springer/cocker, you might get a dog who is NFI balls, NFI retrieves, lower drive/motivation to train....except when there's wildlife scent, then its 100% hunt-driven and full speed ahead, wanting to push into new environment, and go at 100 mph. Hunting is the only thing that is consistently high value and motivating, but it's proving hard to apply that to dummies (rabbit ones marginally better). Like having two entirely different dogs, the well trained engaged version, and that hunting version! Proving quite tricky to train for a novice, too.

How you build ball drive in a springer puppy.. should you retrieve every few days

[seirendipityequinehorsehai]

We have one of each and the cocker will pick your pocket whilst smiling in your face 🤣🤣🤣

Hi there, I have recently adopted a springer approximately 8 years old and a cocker around 6 years and am wondering if you think I can still train them, I don't want them jumping through hoops but would like them to sit, stay, come etc. as they don't seem as if they know any of this as I believe they have just been used for pups. Watching this video of yours you have described both of my dogs to a "T" especially the cocker.

[h.m.]

Can I ask why a dog that is ball mad is easier to train? Do you use the ball as a reward? My cocker is ball mad and will ignore everything around him (which I want!) when I have a ball in my hand, just wondering how I apply that to training with it

[zacrobins]

So informative, forgive me but is there a video on feeding? Especially when you first bring a puppy home .
Don’t have facetube or Insta so just rely on your YouTube vids which are 👌👌
