Beautiful boy, in 7 weeks I'm getting one. I was just wondering is there a stage you would replace the clicker with just words? And is there a good ideal stage to stop giving treats if they sit/lay down/wait when asked?
From the beginning I would use the clicker and a marker word like YES. that way the dog knows both markers. Then as they learn the things I fade to using the verbal word in real life and the clicker only when learning new things. When weaning off treats, you went to make sure your dog is 99% in most situations. But don’t just go cold Turkey. You slowly wean them from a treat for every sit, to a treat for every 3 sits, and so on. With cues like COME and LEAVE IT. I either don’t wean off rewards/treats until they are closer to a-2 yes old if ever. When outside my dogs still get a reward for COME. and if they had to leave something difficult like a piece of chicken on the side of the roadX they get a treat for LEAVE IT as well.
We now have a 9 week old springer, very good over night and toilet, sit and paw! Only trouble we’re having is when playing as he is teething he sometimes goes for our hands! How would you recommend getting him to stop going for our hands? We just try and get a toy in his mouth before our hand!
Best options are to first redirect to a toy (as your doing. If that does not work, I remove myself or them from the situation if as to say "I don't play like that and when you bite me I will stop playing with you" . I would also make sure we aren't playing games involving only hands with the puppy. Make sure you are always using a toy.
A mind of their own? At six months or so they all go death, oh they hear but they engage their delay factor while they decide if they want to do what was asked if them and when is a factor in that also. I hope a bit of that helps, a revolving source of input helps and keeps them from getting board. Loved my springers, have had britts for over 20 years now, can't imagine a day with out my friends.
HI Ashley! I was hoping you could help me 🙏 I've been feeling so hopeless lately. I have an English Springer Spaniel puppy that is 12 weeks old. I got her when she was just 8 weeks old. At first she was so sweet and eager to learn just like Blake! Potty training was going well and she learned the command "sit" in 3 days. She still sits on command. But now all she does is bite me and my family 😔 I feel like I can't even bond with her. When we walk past her, she'll grab onto our legs or ankles and not let go causing our skin to rip. Even if we tell her to sit or give her a stern no or distract her by switching out body part with a toy. Sometimes she'll fling the toy away and go for our body again. When I try to walk her she'll bite the leash and then charge towards me and bite my legs and hand and chews really hard. I end up coming back inside crying with my hand still in her mouth. I'm not sure why she had such a huge change. I can't even train her anymore because all she does is bite. I try to walk away from the situation and leaving her alone. When I come back she's super sweet and licking my hands and then 10 minutes later she's chewing on me. My family is afraid to spend time with her now because of how aggressive her biting gets and I'm afraid of my 5 year old being anywhere near her. This is my 3rd dog that I've owned. I used to have a cocker spaniel who passed away from old age in 2016 and a cockapoo that passed away recently. They were both very sweet so this is new to me
#Unveiled Wonderland I felt so sad to read about your dreadful problems with your dog and even sadder that you never got a reply at all from Ashley. If she couldnt help you, then at least she could have said so. This was the first video I saw, but when I saw/read that you were ignored I decided to move on to a different springer spaniel channel. I really do hope that somehow you can find a cure. Our springer has problems too but nothing like what you have described. I can't imagine what I would do ... a huge dilemma. I wish you heartfelt luck.
@@luluwitt2545 Thank you so much for your reply ❤️ It feels like forever ago that I wrote this comment. Chippy is turning 10 months soon and has become the sweetest pup ever. She doesn't bite at all now. All she does is lick and ask for belly rubs. She's still very hyper and although she is trained to go in the backyard, whenever we're not with her for more than an hour, she'll make a mess with her poo or destroy furniture 😕 I'm guessing it's separation anxiety. Other than that, she is wonderful. She's great with my now 6 year old. They're best friends! ☺️ It took a month or two to get her to stop biting completely. We just ignored her when she got that way. We would walk away and just let her be until she calmed down. Then she would be the one looking for us for affection. You can message me on Instagram if you'd like so I can share some pictures of her with you! 😊 My Instagram is Unveiled.Moonlight
@@UnveiledWonderland So good to hear. I will take a look. Dont use Insta but will ask someone else to show me. We desperately need some training in diff areas for our Springer. He is crazy in the car, jumping around everywhere but the car is too small for a cage of his size. (8 mths). He barks nastily at all guests even when they have come more than once. He pulls me around on a walk and I can hardly hold him. Other than that, he is a sweet dog.
Only someone who has gone through this can truly understand. It has taken me a year and a half to be ready for another dog, but I will never forget all those I have lost. Hope you can look forward soon 🌻
Depends on the puppy. It’s all about finding what they like and different situations may call for different value of treats. For low value treats: dry dog food/kibble Medium value: any store bought training treats, or Cheerios for a low calorie High Value - cheese, Happy Howies, freeze dried beef liver, hotdog
@@Ash2Auss I was about to ask the same. I was using dry dog food as a treat but she always goes for the hand with the treat even before the command. So far we have been able to train her to sit although there were few moments when she tried to do fetch the ball but we couldn't capitalize as i did not have a treat in my hand to positive reinforce. She is exactly 7 weeks and 4 days old. Looking at Blake I think she is very thin and weak for her age.
@@JoeWinifredPRayen I wouldn’t worry too much about over feeding her right now. At this age they grow so fast and need extra calories. If you are concerned she is too thin, have a chat with your vet. They are always the best person to ask about weight/health. :)
Docking the tail for Springer Spaniels is the standard here in the US. So that is something the breeders would have had done when they were only a few days old. Im not well versed in this breed's history (not my breed) to be able to tell you more of the history there.
Hi! I was using a clicker. I do marker training which either uses a clicker or a verbal marker to let the dog know they did the right thing and a reward will follow.
@@candacedawn357 Hey! So a verbal marker would a noise or one word (ex YES) you would say to Mark they did the right thing. This is different then the cue given to perform the behavior and it is also different from praise like “good boy”. The order would be Cue -> Marker -> reward Example: SIT -> my dog performs desired behavior -> click or mark “yes” -> reward with treats and praise
When you're training a dog, the majority of their day's food is used as a training reward with whatever is leftover being fed as the last snack of the day.
Biggest 9 week old springer I've ever seen!, what you should be making clear is YOU have it 9 weeks on top of the 8/10 weeks old to got it from breeder,have my children upset here thinking our 8 week old we got undersized and maybe sick, your lies makes you look good
Actually he is exactly 9 weeks old in this video. He came to me shortly after turning 8 weeks old from his breeder. So no lie there, he is the age I said he is. And he is actually about average weight/size for Springer pup. And honestly he is about average size for a lot of medium sized breeds at this age. But every pup is different just like human children
Balence?, attention span? Very well developed pup so,( please make sure you're sarcasm detector is switched on) I'll be at this stage this time next week for my pup so and have been around dogs most of my life
@@benmoloney1165 Oh you've been around dogs your whole life? Thats cute..... It is literally my profession. and puppy training and development are my expertise. But honestly I don't give a fuck if you believe me, You are welcome to leave my page and never visit it again. This video was made for Blake's mom so she could see how he was doing in training and is an old video at this point. Get a life and move on.
My Springer Spaniel puppy is 12 weeks old and I got her when she was 8 weeks old and she was a little bigger than Blake 😊 Right now she looks huge to me at just 12 weeks old. Dogs definitely come in all sizes! Even if they are the same breed.
This is stupid in my opinion, Are you goingto be carrying that bloody clicker around for the rest of his life. You even managed to confuse me with the random clicking, absolutely crazy. My Springer is quite in tune with my tone of voice, no need for stupid implements to carry around.

Great video
Hi, what kind of bites of gifts did you use?? on that age, thanks

What is the ticking sound
Where do you purchase your clicker?
Just lost mine 2 hours ago god I already feel so empty like parts of me just died when she did
I’m sorry for your loss❤️
I'm so sorry, I can't imagine.
Only someone who has gone through this can truly understand. It has taken me a year and a half to be ready for another dog, but I will never forget all those I have lost. Hope you can look forward soon 🌻
Both of mine almost 11 and live in terror of the day I lose them. Always so so painful. So lovely,to see a young pup like this having a great time!
Big fluffy hugs to you. ❤
Hard work ain't they

I'm getinf 10 month old soon May 1st 2021
It is very hard to train a springer spaniel bc they are so energetic
How can one cut dogs tail???????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ik I was said my pup had a clipped tail
For working dogs it’s a lot safer to dock there tails
Omg what they don’t feel a thing at couple days better than back yarders doing making a bloody mess cause they don’t know how..🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Oh no mine is 10 weeks and the only trick she knows is biting my finger off
Too much food!!!!!!
