English Springer Spaniel Training

Do you have a English Springer Spaniel that needs some training help? Natalie from Crazy Kind Calm dog training can help!

With over 900 dogs trained across the Macedon Ranges, Natalie understands the unique personality and needs that come with this wonderful breed.

English Springer Spaniels are enthusiastic, tireless working dogs bred for flushing and retrieving game. They have boundless energy, an incredible nose, and a tail that never stops wagging — but their drive and stamina are often underestimated.

Common English Springer Spaniel traits and training needs

  • Extremely high energy — these are genuine working dogs that need serious daily exercise
  • Nose-driven on walks — once on a scent, recall can become very difficult
  • Can become hyperactive, anxious, or destructive without enough physical and mental outlets
  • Prone to over-excited greetings, jumping, and spinning
  • May develop possessive behaviours around retrieved items and food
  • Can be mouthy, especially when excited — grabbing lead, clothing, or hands

Springer owners know they have a perpetual motion machine with a wagging tail. If your Springer bounces off the walls before walks, vanishes nose-first on every outing, or has more energy at the end of a hike than you do — that's the working dog drive coming through. Their enthusiasm for life and eagerness to please make them brilliant training partners. They just need enough outlets to take the edge off first.

English Springer Spaniel (and others) Success Stories

Cavoodle • Riddells Creek
★★★★★ Google
"We've seen Nat twice now for our pup for a one-on-one training sessions. We have initially done puppy school elsewhere and these one-on-one sessions with Natalie helped with new challenges (new bub) and refine the skills that we have learnt previously. We also appreciate the very detailed appointment notes sent to us via email after sessions - this helps us keep up with training and refer back to some tips and techniques down the track. Would highly recommend Natalie! :)"

"Ollie and I had a great time in our four sessions, learning heaps to work on to create the 'perfect' dog. Ollie responded really well to Natalie's approach and I learnt heaps about how to go about his training. Highly recommended!!"

"Nat knows her stuff and explains it in clear and really easily adoptable instructions. She has helped immensely with our pup who has a bit of anxiety around socialisation so that now we can walk calmly and it's great to have her at the end of emails to answer anything that comes up. Highly recommend Nat's approach, it's made a world of difference!"
