All About Training American Cocker Spaniel Dogs and Puppies
Cocker Spaniels are very intelligent and are relatively easy to train, provided that early and consistent training is provided.
Housetraining your American Cocker Spaniel can be a bit more of a challenge - they are notorious for having "accidents" around the house. It is very important to put time and effort into housetraining your puppy with lots of praise and rewards when progress is made. Your breeder or local dog trainer can be an excellent resource for more information on housetraining Cocker Spaniels.
