I admit defeat.
Bloody spaniel.
Have had her 2 weeks now, with 3-4 days still to go. Good points are that;
I can walk her on lead without pulling.
I can tell her to get to her bed - she does.
I can tell her to leave things - she does.
Recall is pretty good!
I know she enjoys her free walks.

Bad things are;
Seemingly no one else can walk her on lead without pulling.
She doesn't do as she is told by OH, and pees everywhere when he tries to tell her.
She runs off with things in her mouth if OH wants her to leave them.
BUT, worst of all, her aggression towards other dogs - including my own, is so random, unpredictable and un called for - I just despair! I'm 99% convinced she is VERY jealous of anything/anyone else getting any form of attention that she has to claim the spoils.

It is all going to revert anyway when she returns to her owners. Makes me wonder why I bothered.
Feeling very meh about it all.
 
Sorry don't know your whole story. All I can say on what I've read, two weeks is not a very long time. Hope things get better.
 
You are right, 2 weeks is no time. Just feel that if I can walk her on lead without pulling, why can't others! - For some reason that is the one thing I wanted to 'conquer' and thought I was onto a winner, that was until OH tried.
She is thoroughly spoilt by her owners, and that combined with very little exercise, she isn't going to get any better any time soon. Part of me feels very sorry for her.

My dog will be rubbing her paws together when she goes!!! lol
