If you need more help then check out my Canine Companion Starter Course; ➡️ https://waacademy.link/YTSTARTER Working line spaniels are everywhere, and many people think they're getting a great family dog, but the reality is most pet owners are completely unprepared for what these dogs require. In this video, we break down why working spaniels are a terrible choice for the average owner, despite their popularity.

If you're considering a working line spaniel or already struggling with one, this is the honest truth about what you're dealing with.
