As we all know, the Cocker Spaniel is one of the oldest types of hunting dogs, carrying powerful genes in its bloodline. Many Cocker Spaniels are quite large, and because they have strong bodies and intelligent minds, they are loved by people. Therefore, many dog owners have a common question: how to train a Cocker Spaniel to retrieve. Many people don't know how to train their dogs in this area. Today, I will specifically introduce the method to help everyone solve this problem.

Like raising a son, educate our dog son: 

It is well known that dogs, like humans, have intelligence. Dogs can easily judge whether we treat them well or poorly. At the same time, we can also tell from a dog’s behavior whether it fears us or sees us as good brothers. If we want the dog to complete retrieval, we must first let the dog regard us as its own brother. So how should we improve our relationship with the dog? Actually, it’s simple. We just need to play with our dog more often, tease and trick them regularly, and our dog will slowly build a strong connection with us. How can we tell how close our dog is to us? We can judge by the dog’s usual attitude. When we are busy, if the dog comes to ask us to play, or finds you before sleep, or wakes you up in the morning, it means our dog son has already developed a certain closeness with us.

How to make the dog son complete retrieval? 

Now we come to today’s key point: how to make the dog son complete retrieval. At the beginning, we can play tug-of-war with the dog for its favorite food, jokingly not giving it to him. This will make the dog eager to get it. Then we throw the item near him, and the dog will snatch it. Gradually, from near to far, our dog can go to a distance to fetch items. After hearing my introduction, I believe everyone is eager to try! But don’t rush. As long as we educate the Cocker Spaniel slowly, it can understand our human language. Then we don’t have to struggle so hard to teach. Whatever we say, the dog understands, which better promotes our relationship.

After hearing my introduction, what do you think of the method I introduced? If your dog still doesn't know how to retrieve, go and give it a try!
