While Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are undoubtedly handsome-looking pets, they also impress with their eagerness to please, which is an important ingredient in training. Past experience with other dog breeds will remind you that the spaniel also needs lessons on good manners and house breaking.
The best time to train a spaniel puppy is ideally the moment he first enters your home. Even if the dog is still young and small, he will have obvious ways and means to let you know if he wants to pee or poo. Keep an eye on him, learn his signals, and soon you will know for example, that a puppy circling the floor while sniffing, or whimpering and going to another room, are both signs that a puppy wants to eliminate.
Studying each other's actions is good for your dog and for yourself. Your puppy will grow up mature and secure with the help of the confidence-building praises and petting that you shower on him. This will lead the dog to try to stick to the situations and actions that lead to your giving him praises and rewards. Meanwhile, you will on longer have to clean up accidents all over your home. At the start, things will of course take time before resembling how you picture things to be. But soon the dog will behave accordingly through patience. After all, all King Charles Spaniel Training work out this way.
When you already figure out how the dog indicates that it wants to go, always take action and respond to his asking for assistance/ permission. So bring your dog outside to the garden, or take his lead, bring him outside, and stay by his side until he is through urinating and emptying his bowels.
How do you know if you are expecting way too much in Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Training? For example, a dog twelve-weeks old cannot be expected to accomplish much. So keep your puppy limited to a specific area using baby gates, and help him to eliminate on a piece of paper nearby. When the dog looks like it will eliminate in the next few seconds, place him on the newspaper, and praise him if he eliminates successfully. Always keep things neat, and never scold.
Somewhere between the third and sixth month, your puppy will have more control over his bladder and bowel. Continue keeping an eye on him, and you will be able to figure out more accurately when the dog needs to go out: aside from last thing at night amd first thing in the morning, but also after the dog eats. When the dog reaches his sixth month, he will have more control over himself and can already be brought to other unfamiliar locations without eliminating or relieving himself.
