Disposition:
Cocker Spaniels were bred to be gun dogs and many are still very happy to be so, although they make wonderful house pets as well. As with all dogs, Cockers should be socialized from a young age to ensure they get along with people and other dogs, as well as other pets if you have them. Cockers can be difficult to potty train, although with patience and much positive reinforcement, they eventually get it. There is hardly ever a fight for dominance between dog and owner with the Cocker Spaniel, and they are very loving and loyal.
Activity Level:
Cocker Spaniels need regular exercise as they have a fair amount of energy. For many, a long walk twice a day will be enough, although for many others this wouldn’t be enough exercise.
Cocker Spaniels should have a medium-sized backyard/garden and could live in an apartment, assuming they have enough room to play fetch!
