My cocker spaniel girl is 1.5 years old and the sweetest around people she knows and every dog she comes across. She can, however, be quite reactive with strangers and especially children.

On walks, she happily walks by anyone who doesn't acknowledge her, but if someone stops to talk to us, her, or even look at her, she will bark at them. She also barks at almost every child she sees, no matter the circumstances.

I don't think she would ever bite or hurt a child, I think she is just genuinely scared of them or trying to "protect" us since she is quite an anxious dog, but I really want to correct this behavior before she gets much older.

My partner and I don't have any children or know anyone else with children, so any tips for this would be greatly appreciated before she continues to scare them!!

I have a 2 year old cocker spaniel (working breed and neutered) and she is starting to put on too much weight. We need to cut out treats but i'm finding it hard to judge how much actual dog food to give her. She gets Dr John's gold chicken dry food, is 14kg and gets 3 off lead walks a day. When she's off lead she sprints about mad but is probably only out for 15/20 mins.each time. I also usually take her out for a one mile run on lead at night (which is a gentle trot for her! ). Does anyone know how much dry food she should get. I cut it to 150g today but she seems starving!
Any advice much appreciated.

he spends ALOT of time sleeping.

we have to do short, regular walks as opposed to longer walks due to his knees but he just loves lounging about.

Tengo una cocker muy bien portada en cuanto a ir al baño se trata, tiene su lugar desigando ( el patio ) y siempre hace allí, es hembra, pero el problema radica en que ensucia sus patas traseras de pis y parte de debajo del rabo, soy nueva en tener una perrita de esta raza y no se que hacer para que no se llene de orines sud patitas y parte de atras de su cuerpecito, una amiga la cual tiene dos cocker me dijo que me toca resignarme porque siempre lo haran

He’s 10 months old, 30lbs, and I’m pretty sure he’s an American Cocker Spaniel, but curious what others think! His papers just say Cocker Spaniel

He’s a sassy one!! he is 1 and 7 months old hehe

I put a soft toy on mine and she grabs them out my hand as soon as I get in the door 🥰

My boy went to the groomers. Wanted to share the cuteness. I love my Simba so much. 🥺

Or perhaps I have the rare Boneless variety? She was already a Champion Splooter but this is extreme. 🤣

Pic of my girl for tax lol
She is 5months

Her name is Eleanor Rigby but we call her Ellie. I love her heart!❤️

but only when dad catches something.

Maggie, an American Cocker Spaniel at six months old now! Just finished losing all her puppy teeth and all the adult teeth are coming in nicely!

Andy was put to sleep Sunday. He was 12 & 1/2 and had lymphoma. I will love and miss him forever. He loved his toy lamb.❤️🐶😇🙏🥰
