Are English Cocker Spaniels easy to train?
Yes, English Cocker Spaniels can be relatively easy to train using positive reinforcement, but keep in mind that training any dog takes substantial time and effort, regardless of breed.
This breed is highly food motivated, which makes them responsive to treats and rewards, making training sessions more effective and enjoyable for both the dog and their pet parents. Their desire to engage with their pet parents, combined with their intelligence and enthusiasm, allows them to learn new cues quickly. That said, their energetic and curious nature means they may need consistent guidance, especially when they are younger or distracted. Keeping training sessions fun and rewarding will help maintain their focus and keep them engaged.
