From another, fluffier forum....

...'I have a spaniel, I walk it nearly every day, why won't it behave?'

Oh dear oh dear oh dear.....

So I said it needed more exercise (as did someone else). And then someone else came in and said no, nearly everyday was fine....

Hmph! Serves me right for leaving HHO

 

[MurphysMinder]

Poor dog! Forums like that are very bad for the blood pressure aren't they

This is why Spaniels get a reputation for being untrainable, well, that and the fact that they are

 

[Spudlet]

Too true Hen!

I think I may be winning the point though

ETA - bless, have just looked at the OPs profile and she is only 16! Guess she can't really be held to blame for this (I wasn't mean though, honest)

 

[Tinkerbee]

Really?

I was in full dog walking charge of Tink at age of 11/12 and I KNEW she had to be walked at least once a day.

16 is more than old enough.

Give her what for

 

[Spudlet]

Noooo you meanie woman you - softly softly walkee doggy

I'm converting them I tells ya!

 

[Tinkerbee]

Bollocks to that

Get all Barbara Woodhouse on her ass

 

[Spudlet]

PMSL

 

[cariad]

SIT!!! (yank chain). If Barbara Woodhouse had told me to throw myself under a passing lorry I probably would have done. I think her TV programmes would be worth a re-run for their discussion value. But she did get results. A sort of canine Supernanny.

You should allow your dog to walk over you and cater to its every requirement.

This is why the Beast is such a happy dog

[kirstyhen]

I've sawed it now

 

[GinaB]

I wanna see! *runs off....*

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Hmmmm.........have just tried to explain to Sweep and Max that they have had their walk quota for life and they now have to run around the house.

Their reply - to carry on snoring as they are knackered from their HUGE walk across the stubble fields chasing hares...........

 

[GinaB]

I'm laughing at someone referring to a 'check chain' (being PC here

) as a choker chain

 

[Spudlet]

Am just wondering how long it would take to wipe the mess off the walls is someone posted something similar in here....

We should send CALA over

(I refuse to call her CAILA

)

I read another post from the same person about feeding a lower energy food as they were so hyper "but that might just be the Springer in them..." or perhaps you aren't giving them enough exercise/discipline/training

Plus they are Springer X Cocker - both high energy breeds

Had to close that site down as it was making me angry

 

[Cyrus]

Ah that forum is a constant source of entertianment for me, might use my account to try and do some educating lol

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

I can't summon up the energy to go and look

....but I might save it I feel the need to rant...........

I believe they can send you to the International Court in the Hague for doing that kind of thing to people

Cyrus - I got told off on there for being 'judgemental' 'cos I posted about being cross that some numpty had bought a pony I rode, done ridiculous things (eg hacking down an A road with a child in the first week when they knew it hadn't hacked in years as it was an city farm pony) then sending it back saying they couldn't trust it, thus robbing it of the chance of a country retirement....
