My 1st ever dog was a springer spaniel, the adventures we had were fantastic, we travelled together, he even helped me when I went into labour, and was a great helper with my son, for a first dog I couldn't have been more blessed, and he was more than happy to have his own sun lounger in the back garden in the summer with his umbrella. That dog brought me faith when I had none in anything. So standing up for the springer spaniels on loyalty, caring, and helping during labour when you are all alone 👍🏻
I'm the owner of a Springer Spaniel and a Labrador. Funny, my Springer is very active and focused when walking (I live in the countryside and his hunting instincts are fully fulfilled) but very chill and calm inside the house. On the other hand my Labrador is relatively quiet when walking but very demanding in the house (for tug and fetch plays).
I'm surprised to not see the Patterdale Terrier on here. I've got a one year old and he's excellent for his breed and age, but almost everyone I've spoken to who have owned one seem to have bad behavioural problems with theirs. Especially people who've got them from working lines. A lot of them get rehomed in the UK because people can't handle them. Very stubborn, working energy, high prey drive. I love mine to bits but he makes every spaniel I've ever met seem chilled out in comparison. Any time someone recognised the breed when he was a pup gave me a very sincere "good luck" haha
I've had a couple of cockers and they were pretty decent dogs. The older one traveled the country with my parents in their semi, she loved it and thrived. When my stepfather retired, she hung out wrapped around his neck while they watched MASH reruns. 35 lbs of potato. The other was the sweetest dog I've ever owned. He had several health issues, pretty much every one that goes with the breed. But man he was a sweet, gentle dog with my little kids. He'd go for hours with them, then flop at my feet. I'll never own another because of the health issues that were bred into them by poor breeding practices. It might be different on the other side of the pond, but in the US, I'd never suggest them for anyone.
We got a working cocker some weeks ago, I personally love how hyped she is just to do something, literally anything with someone. She is 11 weeks old atm and already probably the smartest dog we've ever had, But yeah, they do have a shit ton of energy. She is also probably the bravest puppy I've ever met, like literally everyone is a possible new friend and over all nothing really bothers her, except for bigger dogs that are being loud, but usually she just goes into the "I'm just a puppy please don't eat me" mode and after that dog has said hi goes straight back to what she was doing before.
I have a 9 month old Cocker Spaniel called Arlo and he is the most beautiful creature. Yes, he is hyper...but that's not a bad thing i don't feel. He's such a happy little boy, absolutely loves being off lead to the point that i don't take him places where he needs to be on lead all the time. He's fantastic being off lead actually. His dopey little face brings me so much joy, he's definitely the love of my life and i wouldn't be without him. He picks things up so quickly too, he's been way easier to train than i thought he would be, especially as i use treats very sparingly. Then there's that gorgeous spaniel face and the look of pure unconditional love and the wagging of his tail and bum. Can't beat coming home to that.
I’ve heard you mention these breeds before. The cocker spaniel one still surprises me. You must just have a run on a really bad cocker spaniels over there right now. Because I think they’ve always been a great breed.
@@johnthirlaway67 He doesn’t train them anymore. I recently applied to his Academy to get some help for my own dog and was told that I’d hear back from them within 48 working hours. That was 3 weeks ago. I used the contact form on his website just over a week ago to chase it but again, never heard anything and I’m the kind of person that does check my junk folders just to make sure nothing falls through. Up until yesterday, I had been a loyal fan and subscriber of his for over 3 1/2 years, but no more and as far as I concerned, he is as fake as they go.
It's so disappointing seeing the same videos being made over and over again, as people are saying. A wealth of knowledge to make videos about even without cutting into the paid course material (of which I've purchased and recommended to others), hell even some videos with case studies of dogs from the training centre would be great content, but we get this. I genuinely respect Will a lot and would love the chance to talk dog training one day, but the ship needs correcting here and fast.
Huskies goofy behavior brings tons of joy to my family aha. Even my neighbors love watching my dogs go zoomy mode in the backyard while howling like banshees. Im also in shape and run a lot with my dogs so theyre a great fit for me. I can see why Huskies would be a bit much for a hefty guy such as yourself!
My husky was very well mannered in behavior in doors. Outside. He would run run run. Call back was hard unless me and him were on a run together. He’d chase kids in play
I’ve had a Husky as a kid and now a Golden. I agree, I wouldn’t want to own a Husky now. When I was young, our Husky had a massive backyard to run around and my dad, rain, shine, blizzard, storm, whatever it was outside would walk him for an hour and it was nothing but pulling for the entire walk. The pros of owning a Husky is its remarkable health, ours lived for 15.5 years and didn’t slow down until he was 13. They also do not need much food and have much better table manners than our Golden.
I think huskies can definitely bring just as much joy and fulfilment as any other breed it depends on what you like! For me I don't get the appeal of Labs at all they are too eager to please and overly bouncy and I just don't like the look of them and find them so boring and sterotypical. I've encountered so many at my work and just don't think they're that great. Any breed can bring the same amount of joy as any other depends on who you are and what you like. Im not a huge husky fan either but I see people enjoy them so much in family life and have them happy and well trained. For me its greyhounds and whippets all the way!!! But some people may not like them, doesn't mean they bring any less joy or fulfillment to someone.
First ! Yes I’ve lived with a Caucasian Shepherd and she was really the only dog I’ve ever been afraid of. Thankfully I was never bit, but she did have reactivity issues.
Agree 100% But ..my first dog as a child (5ys) was a complete crazy black Cocker Spaniel Lady😂🎉 totally out of the control of my overwhelmed parents...i learned in the freedom of a small Village in the 70s in Germany what a kid with a bike and always sausage in the pocket can do for a high energy, but bored to death Cocker Spaniel.. we were out together every day from 1 pm till sunset. My second dog, a high drive working line Dutchy was compared to my Cocker Lady the best surprise in my life how easy he was to educate and handle, how fast he bonded strong with me, how excellent social behavior he had (what was not the quality of my Cocker, she was biting people she disliked). So since that time i' m absolut addicted to Dutchies (Mals) for their special talent to think as a team member and finding own solutions for problems as souvereign independent thinkers. I guess i never would had the passion for Dutchies if i had not the gift of my Cocker Lady sharing 18ys her life with me
I grew up with Caucasian Shepherds, my grandma owned 7(!) of them (we had a huge huge farm). Now I am an adult, a single mom with a 6 years old and I own 2 Caucasian shepherds. For me, this is the best breed on the planet. Training them is super easy for me. As a child I used to watch my grandma training her dog, so I do the same thing she did with mine. My Caucasians are probably the best behaved dogs in the city I live in.
I've never liked labs. They're too big and too energetic. I got my first dog at 18 or 19, a cocker spaniel. She had no papers, so I don't know if she was an American, English or cross. She was a great dog. My next dog was an American Cocker, another great dog. Dog after that was a Springer. After I lost her, I remained dog less for several years before getting my current dog, an English cocker. She's the best dog I've ever had.
I’m very curious what are your thoughts on the non working beagles? I know that they have reputations for being high energy and being loud, however, as I write this mine is sleeping across my chest for his 1000th nap of the afternoon.
You are 100% spot on, labradors are such wonderful family members and definitely know when to switch off and settle when everyone else does. I think they believe they’re human 😂
I have a female Caucasian ovcharka. And i have yo say u are wrong. Or that in England u have only the russian lines that are overly serious human aggressive. She will not let a stranger in my property. But as long they are my guests. She will tolerate them. And people that she knows from puppyhood , she will love and adore for ever. If u could ask her if she wants to be with my children or in a dog park , when she is already in the dog park. My children will come first choice, every time.and she love other dogs ....
Sadly I think you are right about Siberian Huskies. These are just not pets and if they don't have the right environment (ie cold) they are going to be miserable. I knew one couple with one who ended up having to make it an outside pen as it just wouldn't live in the house. These dogs suffer from the fact they are just so beautiful. There are too many people who don't do their homework and find out what a dog is actually bred for before falling for it's looks.
Hi! Good afternoon. I have a Chocolate Lab. She’s turning 2 years in April 5th. I can’t take her for a walk because shes super strong and pulls really hard. I’ve tried the changing direction training of one of your videos but it wont work. She’s super hyper. Do you have any other suggestions?
I can’t remember if Will has any training videos on the pinch collar, if he doesn’t- watch Garrett from American Standard dog training, he has several on it.
@@melissa5907 Ive tried with every collar except for that one 😔 I cant even put it on her. I feel bad. With the other collars she pulls really hard even shocks herself…. I will take a look at the video you are suggesting. She’s an awesome dog but it’s way too hyper to take her out.
Go back to heel training, and trying to get her to walk alongside / behind you. Hand full of treats by your knee (or peanut butter on your hand) as you walk to lure her along at your pace, lots of verbal praise when she's good at this. An alternative to changing direction method is to just stop, then when the leads goes loose you proceed. Dog eventually gets the message they get somewhere faster on a loose lead, rather than constant stop start. Also when lead goes tight and you're pulling and she's pulling in opposite directions, if you can stop walking but just gently release the lead pressure using your arm, the dog will more easily give in and gradually reduce the pull from their side. These kinds of things have worked for me with multiple dogs. But takes time. If you can get to a trainer who can observe you and your dog, and show you techniques that would help.
I always watch these Top 3 style videos he posts and I’m always watching for the Australian cattle dog but it never comes😂 having one of my own in curious what you think of this breed
I had a sheltie cocker spaniel cross. She was an absolutely wonderful dog. The racist comment made me crack up because when I went off to college, I got a call from my mom. She was keeping my dog for me because dogs were not allowed in the dorms. She said my dog was racist. She had ordered a kitchen table and the guys came to deliver it and one of them in was black. I guess my dog had not been around many Black people because she never quit barking at him. But I don’t think it had anything to do with this color because later on she was around Black people, brown people, every color people :-) and she was fine. She didn’t quite know what to make of a little person who was a friend of my sisters. She kept looking at him funny for a while, but she warmed up to him.
@ We spent his first years in a homogenous town and he didn't see a black person until he was three or so years old. With the dogs I've had since, I've made sure they see all kinds or people: people with hats, different ethnicities, homeless people, skateboarders, etc. Dogs imprint early and it's hard to correct.

One of the worst mixes on the planet in terms of energy. And you know this?? Step one teach the puppy to fetch. If they are not good at that get a treadmill, unless you have acres for the dog to run in. OR start training for a marathon and make sure they are with you every step of the way. SOOO many of these crosses at the SPCA. And you know about their grooming needs? You should equip yourself and learn how to groom your own dog, Their coats need REGULAR care. Gets expensive if you can't do it on your own. The cockapoo pup is the cutest...but is like a whirling dervish on crack. You are a brave, and hopefully energetic, soul!

We had Dachshunds and they were biters and killers of small animals Do not like them Then I married a farmer and we got Australian Shepherds they were very protective of our cows and kids The perfect dogs for us
I love your videos but I think you just don't vibe well with high energy breeds. I know plenty of huskies in the dog sport world who do really well and bring a lot of joy to their owners. I'm personally a dog sport and herding breed person (aussies, mini American shepherds border collies, etc) and I find their chaotic energy to be very rewarding. I also think they're loads more fun to train than something like a lab or golden which I would classify as a little boring. Also, cockers must be VERY different in UK vs USA because every cocker spaniel I ever met was a boring couch potato and I don't know anyone who actually hunts with them. They're bred strictly as companions and for the show ring here. If you want a working dog here, you'd get an English cocker (what you guys would call a wocker)
My list would be long. And yes i have had them. Rottweiler, American staff/ pitbull. And "cane corso" which has more human deaths under its belt then all others put together and yes there owners have been victims to., doberman lab German Shepherd and in first place for most loyal is the Australian cattle Dog. From the dogs i have worked with owned with you cant compare with these breeds.
The man is completely fake. I applied to his academy to get help with my Labrador as although she’s not aggressive, she’s has some reactivity issues because she gets overexcited when she sees other dogs and she can’t run over to just play with them. I also have a few issues with her barking inside the house as it’s disturbing neighbours. Will’s Academy is fairly local to where I live. I wrote I deeply personal detailed description of what was wrong as they ask you to do. They say that they’ll get back to me within 48 working hours. However, that was almost a month ago and they never responded. I have tried to chase it, but I’ve just been ignored so I now take anything that he says with a pinch of salt.
Yes we just got one in July 24 What a joyful creature. People get labs because they are remarkably intelligent, loving, goofy. Very athletic & so gentle. I never really liked labs however this girl makes me always want to own one 🐾.
@@jeffk464 maybe but very overbreeded, even our vet is saying that it is an miracle to meet healthy retriever. I just prefer another breeds like briards or OES.
There are some beautiful pure breed dogs out there but I must say as an owner of mixed breed rescue dogs I find them simply the best.They are intelligent and devoted to there owners such loyal pets and guardians.😊💟

I'm personally a dog sport and herding breed person (aussies, mini American shepherds border collies, etc) and I find their chaotic energy to be very rewarding. I also think they're loads more fun to train than something like a lab or golden which I would classify as a little boring.
Also, cockers must be VERY different in UK vs USA because every cocker spaniel I ever met was a boring couch potato and I don't know anyone who actually hunts with them. They're bred strictly as companions and for the show ring here. If you want a working dog here, you'd get an English cocker (what you guys would call a wocker)
My list would be long. And yes i have had them. Rottweiler, American staff/ pitbull. And "cane corso" which has more human deaths under its belt then all others put together and yes there owners have been victims to., doberman lab German Shepherd and in first place for most loyal is the Australian cattle Dog. From the dogs i have worked with owned with you cant compare with these breeds.
Aye, but will he go into brambles?
why don't you mention malinois :) ?
again? you have like 10+ videos already on this topic
The man is completely fake. I applied to his academy to get help with my Labrador as although she’s not aggressive, she’s has some reactivity issues because she gets overexcited when she sees other dogs and she can’t run over to just play with them. I also have a few issues with her barking inside the house as it’s disturbing neighbours. Will’s Academy is fairly local to where I live.
I wrote I deeply personal detailed description of what was wrong as they ask you to do. They say that they’ll get back to me within 48 working hours. However, that was almost a month ago and they never responded. I have tried to chase it, but I’ve just been ignored so I now take anything that he says with a pinch of salt.
I would never own labrador retriever, I was never attracted to this breed. You see them everywhere
you see them everywhere because they're such good dogs
Yes we just got one in July 24 What a joyful creature. People get labs because they are remarkably intelligent, loving, goofy. Very athletic & so gentle. I never really liked labs however this girl makes me always want to own one 🐾.
@@jeffk464 maybe but very overbreeded, even our vet is saying that it is an miracle to meet healthy retriever. I just prefer another breeds like briards or OES.
Yep I'm the same!!!
Why are your hands moving so much

There are some beautiful pure breed dogs out there but I must say as an owner of mixed breed rescue dogs I find them simply the best.They are intelligent and devoted to there owners such loyal pets and guardians.😊💟
