So You want to train Your new Puppy !
Well that is the best idea you have had since you bought a Spaniel .

Dog training from an obedience instructor varies in price and it usually takes place in a class with other owners and dogs. Some Educational Institutes offer dog training courses.

A list of Resources follows this article.
You will have to teach three basic commands. These are: sit, stay, and come.
How To teach Your Dog to Sit:
To start this dog training, you will need some dog treats.
Always do dog training in quiet surroundings so your dog does not get distracted.
Tell your dog to sit repeatedly as you hold the treat just over their head. This way the dog has to look up and may sit on his/her own to reach the treat.
Many Puppies and young dogs at this point decide to stand on their hind legs to reach the treat.
If they do this or do not sit then gently push their rear down.
When they sit, praise them a lot and reward them with a treat.
Remember – all dogs love treats.
This kind of dog training works because the dog constantly hears "sit" and will learn to associate the command with sitting and receiving praise.
Practice this until your dog always sits on command.
How to Teach Your Spaniel to Stay:
This is sometimes a difficult part of training your Spaniel.
You can incorporate this with your pet the command come .
Sit your dog in an area with no directions to the dog..
Keep repeating the word STAY as you back away. Begin by keeping eye contact with the dog.
If the dog gets up, Say Firmly NO and begin again.
Dog training does take a while.
You could get a helper to sit with the dog to help reinforce the dog to stay the first few times.
This may take a while until your Spaniel gets the idea.
Once you have made progress with this part of dog training, you then start by walking away with your back turned.
This may take a while to learn as the dg will think you are ignoring him/her. Dogs will often get up to follow you at this point.
Tell your dog NO firmly and start the dog training again by repeatedly telling your dog to stay as you walk away.
When your Spaniel has mastered this part, you can teach it to come.
After your dog has stayed, tell it to COME Have a happy voice and pat your knee as you say COME Your dog should respond to this dog training right away and you may then reward it with a treat.
Always use praise instead of punishment with dog training. Dogs respond best to positive dog training, rather than negative. With all of this in mind, you should be able to teach your dog the 3 basic commands.
Follow all of this advice and you should soon have a more obedient dog that is very praiseworthy and you should then be able to control him or her much more easily. (remember to take lots of treats with you though !)
