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

Daisy
Papillon X Jack Russell • Malmsbury
★★★★★ Google
"Natalie has helped us with our rescue puppy Daisy, who was extremely anxious and scared of people and dogs, and acting out in other ways. We called Natalie when we were at the end of our tethers, after two months with Daisy, and after the first session we felt both empowered and reassured. Natalie's extensive notes after our session were also very helpful, to refer to as we were working through the recommendations. During her second visit, a month later, Natalie addressed specific issues that we are still having, and she also noted significant improvements in Daisy's confidence. It is wonderful to be supported by someone with such extensive knowledge and love for dogs. I highly recommend her services."

"Natalie was fabulous with my dogs! I have a very anxious Frenchie who I wasn't even sure could be trained. Nat took her time slowly teaching her (and me) steps to achieve our goals. The understanding/care she shows both animals and humans is fabulous! Thanks Nat 🙂🐶"
