At the moment he eating well and seemingly growing every day, As per all Springer's he is adventurous and exploring all the time.
First night here he cried for about 4/5 minutes then peace every night since the few whimpers then peace .
first night a small puddle on the floor and a tiny poo ,since then been clean every night ,I go down dead on 6am let him out and its a massive pee and after a gallop around he does a poo ,Bring him back in and some food.
I have been using my time tried method of getting some form of obedience even at this early age ,nothing more than getting him to sit to voice and hand signal. For those who do not know this method nothing is easier .
When you have the dogs bowl of food let them see it.hold it in your hand left or right and then say sit ,at first the dog will scamper about jump up etc. to see what's in the bowl, but usually sooner than later the dog will put his bottom on the floor in a sitting mode ,As soon as the bum is on the floor give the dog the food .There is no point at this age making him sit and wait ,for it far far to young.
Keep this up and within a very short time the dog will respond at first asking .
So then when you have the dog outside after the initial scamper to let of steam and a pee etc. hold out your hand and say sit or what ever command you have been using ,any half sensible dog will sit ,make a fuss of the dog and leave it ,don't keep doing it as you will bore the dog and you become annoyed so just the once ,but if possible do this as many times a day as possible.
