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.

"I wish there were more than 5 stars to give! Natalie and Crazy, Kind Calm was recommended to us from a work mate and we couldn’t be happier. We recently rescued a Jack Russell Terrier who is nearly 1.5 years old, and after much research on trainers in the region, we reached out to Natalie. Rightly so, she is a very sought after trainer and we waited patiently for our session with her. She even recommended other trainers who we might want to engage, as it would be 6 weeks before we could see her. We decided to hold out and do our best until our session with the her. From the minute Natalie entered the home, she had our little mate completely engaged. Honestly, it was like watching magic. We went for the personal training session first, and her credentials and experience did not disappoint. We had a 2 hour session, and not 1 second was wasted. The whole experience was the most engaging, informative and educational I have ever had with a trainer, especially dealing with rescue dogs and their big feelings. We can’t wait for our follow up sessions. The level of care, the detailed and tailored training plans which Natalie sent after the session, the trust our precious little mate Billy had in her from the first second, and her genuine warmth, and love and respect for all dogs- made it a very comforting and wondrous experience. Again- if there were more stars to give- I would give them. A truly professional, experienced, trustworthy and knowledgeable trainer - worth the wait 💜"
