Re: The Spaniel Spot

Glad to see we spaniels finally got our own "Kennel". My Chelsea is 16 months old. I got her when she was like 9 weeks old without much knowledge about dog training. I watched videos, read books and yes, became a member of this website. Other dog owners (not spaniel owners) have been impressed by wh...

My vet told me about a month ago that my pup's ears need cleaning and we have been doing that almost daily: Squirting some liquid, rubbing them and then using these ear cleaning wipes to clean them.

Try using treats. Also my dog sleeps in her dog carrier right next to my bed. So it's not a big thing to her. I took her to work in there and she was at times over an hour in there. She was fine.

My puppy does not get too far.
