Normal Cocker behaviour that gets mislabelled as “bad”… when it’s actually just part of being a Cocker. 🤍🐾

I see this all the time... owners feeling guilty, embarrassed, or like they’ve got a “naughty dog”… when really they’ve got a breed that was literally built to do certain things.

Cockers weren’t designed to be quiet little robots who stroll politely and ignore the world.
They were bred to work closely with people in busy environments, using their nose, their mouth, their voice, and their energy.

So let’s talk this out properly.

1) Sniffing everything
If your Cocker’s nose hits the floor and the “ears turn off”, it's not rudeness.
That’s a dog doing what they were bred to do- follow scent and hunt out information.

Sniffing isn’t “distracting”, it's regulating.
The goal isn’t to stop sniffing, it’s to teach when and how to come back to you.

2) Carrying things (constantly)
Socks, toys, tea towels, sticks…
A lot of Cockers carry because it’s soothing, exciting, and deeply natural.

They were bred to pick up and bring things back.
So no, it doesn’t automatically mean “stealing” or “being cheeky”.
It means- let’s channel it and teach a calm trade, not shame it.

3) Big excitement / “no off-switch”
That go-go-go energy? The bouncy greetings? The inability to just be?
Often it's a nervous system that hasn’t learned to downshift yet.
Settling is a skill, not a personality trait.
And plenty of Cockers need it taught, gently and consistently.

4) Vocalising (barking, squeaking, shouting their opinions)
Some Cockers are… expressive 😅
And in many cases, vocalising is communication... excitement, frustration, uncertainty, anticipation.
Labelling it as “bad” misses the point.
We want to understand what they’re saying, and then teach them what helps them cope.

5) Big feelings (reactivity, frustration, sensitivity)
Sensitive dogs often get labelled as “dramatic” or “too much”.
But a lot of Cockers are emotionally intense, they notice everything and feel everything.
This means they need support that respects their nervous system, not punishment for having feelings.

None of this is me saying “just let them do whatever.”
It’s me saying that if you start with understanding, you stop making it personal… and you get much better results.

Be honest, which one does your Cocker get labelled for most?
Sniffing / carrying / excitement / barking / big feelings 👇

How cute is Poppy, her Mum didn’t want to feed her so she is being hand raised. She loves frolicking with the human kids.

Our gorgeous Marj is now Millie and is living with a lovely family who already have one of our handsome cocker spaniels. She will have an amazing life with her new family and her canine Uncle!

Much love Millie

This is Marj (short for Marjorie), we have been running her on to show but after some hard thinking, with our kiddos heading into their senior school years we are just not going to have the time so now it is time to find a family to love her as much as we do. Marj is a very happy, affectionate girl, she loves her cuddles and will be make an amazing family member. Marj is nearly 5 months old, still a puppy but not as needy as a baby puppy. She loves playing with her canine Mum and Grandma but has not lived with a cat before.

We will be very sad to say goodbye to our Marj.

We use Underwater Dogs Haircare (an Australian business) on our Cocker Spaniels, it leaves their coats clean and soft. I just received an email advising they are offering a discount on their products, here is the code should anyone want to give it a go on their four legged family member. No kickbacks for me, just love their products.💕
