Is your Cocker Spaniel always running around, jumping, demanding attention or struggling to calm down — even after a walk?

In this video, we explain why Cocker Spaniels can seem so hyper and what owners can actually do to help them settle.

Cocker Spaniels are active, intelligent dogs with a working background. Their needs aren't always met by simply adding more walking. Physical exercise, mental stimulation, scent games, training and learning how to settle can all play an important role in helping your Cocker Spaniel manage their energy.

You'll learn:

• Why your Cocker Spaniel may have so much energy
• Why a long walk isn't always the complete answer
• How mental stimulation can help
• Why sniffing, searching and problem-solving matter
• How owners can accidentally reinforce over-excited behaviour
• Why your Cocker Spaniel needs to learn how to settle
• How to encourage calm behaviour at home
• When sudden restlessness or behaviour changes should be checked by a vet

If you've ever asked “Why is my Cocker Spaniel so hyper?”, “Why won't my Cocker Spaniel calm down?” or “How can I calm my Cocker Spaniel?”, this video is for you.

Remember: every dog is an individual. Age, health, genetics, lifestyle, training and whether a Cocker comes from working or companion lines can all affect their behaviour and exercise needs.

If your Cocker Spaniel gets the zoomies, tell us in the comments what they do!
