Sorry just had my bi-daily "I loving love this thing it's the cutest god drat thing ever this thing is my life all dogs are amazing everyone needs a dog" epiphany. So I took this after I gave him a pig ear.





Also a friends beautiful younger sister just conveniently messaged me to get the pups together, owns a 1 year old black cocker and is in a disseminating relationship in the same city :getin:

Every day I check this thread for pro dogs (all of them) and I send a dog of the day email to my entire family. I just realized this thread has turned me into a holy-poo poo-another-email-from-dad dad. I get it. I get everything bad-email grandma was trying to do. I never understood until now. I have to share all of these dogs. They don't understand...I'll show them. I'll show all of them... the dogs.

I need to quit forgetting the GoPro I've yet to use. He's hilarious in water because at any depth he just rabbit hops instead of running.

Today was great. There was a low tide and tons of small pools of water in an area all to ourselves. Uses the water disc to throw it across back and forth and watch his happy rear end prance through. Not that I have any idea what I'm doing; but if he couldn't find it I'd try to guide him with hand signals and verbal directions. Seemed to almost work. Kind of want to put time into it akin to using a cocker to flush low brush or find game.

I'm still working on the fetch. We started from scratch so it's going well I'd say. He'll fetch it and generally come back to me. But then he's a bit hesitant to give it up. He doesn't fight me per-se and I don't aggressively chase him etc like we're playing. Sometimes he'll just look at me and walk the other way which I take as his sign of being ready to go. Drop also works 25% of the time and seems to be working more so that's good. Need to really hunker down and implement treats and a proper regiment. I'm a bit torn as I want him to be relatively obedient but I also don't want him to just wallow all his emotions inside and become a characterless dog

Boy he does have energy but does he poop out fast #justpuppythings

Welp that's all thanks for reading :tipshat:

My folks used to have a cocker that developed bad cataracts at age 3 and became effectively blind. She still loved to fetch and we trained to her play "hot and cold." She'd go looking for her toy and we'd go "nononono" until she started moving in the right direction when start saying, "yesyesyes" in a crescendo as she got closer to the toy and back to "nononono" when she drifted away from it. She picked it up pretty quickly.

Guess I could do something like that. Maybe try to use directions more in day to day poo poo. I try to when I remember and we're walking or running when I want him on the other side. Things like that. Nothing fancy: right, left, straight. Then use nonono if he goes the wrong way



I'm about to go to the vet one of these days throw them a bunch of money and tell the vet to test for everything under the sun. I know cataracts is common in them. Plus the who inbred thing (but what dogs aren't?)

I asked my vet about it and she said while it does increase the chance of issues it's nowhere like it is in humans where there's high risk factors, born without limbs, etc.

Literally cocker spaniel terrain. Also saw him do his first point. I don't know if he was just on standby real quick for me to give a command or saw a bird. I messed around throwing it and if he couldn't find it trying to guide him to it. Once he got it though he usually just casually walked off to just chill under some shade

Dog has a better education than most of something awful.


Also on the fetch thing, spend some time at home to teach your dog a command to leave something alone. Sometimes people split dropping things and leaving things into two different commands, but just "leave it" has been sufficient with dakota for both. I made training treats to teach him (boiled chicken breast and dog food mixed up in a food processor). He understands now that if he has a toy, even if it's something we're playing tug o war with, and I tell him to leave it he immediately drops it. This is also how I started with balancing treats on his nose and such.

Seems basic and straightforward enough. I just need to decide on specific commands and stick to it. Like I can't decide if I should say lay down or wait if I want him to stay somewhere very temporarily.

Most importantly I think I really need to iron out "heel" and "stop" In case he's running off into the street or getting too aggressive
