Principles of care, feeding, education
Caring for an American Cocker Spaniel is quite complicated. This is due to the fact that the dog has a very soft, thick, long coat. It is necessary to bathe dogs no more than once a week and be sure to use special shampoos in order not to harm the coat. Before and after each wash it is recommended to carefully comb the wool to preserve its beauty and silkiness. Ears also require special care: because of their length, they should be tied up before each feeding in order to avoid getting wet. Paws due to long hair are also prone to excessive wetness. If you neglect rubbing wet paws and ears, they can get a fungus.
When building a diet for the American Cocker Spaniel, you need to remember that these dogs love to eat and the owner must strictly restrict the food taken by his pet. American cocker is absolutely not picky. On the shoulders of the owner falls the choice of the type of feeding:
Dry food
Natural products
Mixed
In any case, food should be balanced, moderate and healthy.
As for raising a pet, many owners mistakenly think that by buying a small decorative dog, they will avoid the need for its training. But it must be done! As early as possible, you need to start the education of the American Cocker Spaniel, training for the regime of walks, food, toilet, and then already to the standard commands.
