A DOG trainer has shared a word of caution about a popular breed, describing them as “frenzied lunatics” for the wrong owners.

Will Atherton, a clinical canine behaviourist, regularly offers tips and advice to help dog lovers choose the right breed and make the most of their furry companions.

Known as ‘iamwillatherton’ on TikTok, Will is on a mission to prevent people from ending up in situations where they feel forced to give their dogs back because of training challenges.

In one video, Will dives into why Springer Spaniels might not be the best fit for everyone.

He explains their high energy levels and specific needs, which can overwhelm some owners.

The video caption reads: “Let’s talk about the honest truth behind Spaniels, shall we?

“P.S. Before you comment, I know there are some that are chill, but they’re the exception – congratulations, you got lucky!

“I’m sharing this because I want people to be happy with their dogs. 

“I see so many who aren’t happy with their Spaniels because their Spaniel was a terrible choice for them because they can’t train it well.” 

Speaking to the camera, with the same breed standing in front of him, Will says: “This is why I hate the Springer Spaniel. 

“Now I’m going to let you in on a little secret, there aren’t actually any breeds that I hate, but I just strongly believe that breeds have a purpose.

“For some people a Springer Spaniel might be a great choice and for some people they might be a terrible choice.

“I think the reality is that for most people the Springer Spaniel is a terrible choice.

“A lot of people get them because they look awesome, these ears are adorable and they match a barber jacket which makes it cool for Instagram pictures. 

“However, what they were actually bred for, is to work non-stop like frenzied lunatics through barbed wire, thistles, fawns and all sorts.

“Their nose is non-stop working, and that means that they don’t have a very good off switch.

“Bringing a dog like that to try and chill on the sofa with you is very hard to do and is rarely achievable which is why I see so many here with problem behaviours at my canine behaviour centre.” 

His video gained a lot of attention, with many rushing to the comments section to share their thoughts. 

Many, however, disagreed with him as one wrote: “My Springer must be a bit dodgy because you’ll never meet a dog who wants nothing more than a cuddle, yes when he’s out he’s a lunatic but as soon as he’s home all he wants is sleep and hugs, love them.” 

A second added: “I have had Springers for the past 13 years…. It’s the cockers who don’t turn off.

Should I get a professional dog trainer and how much does it cost?

IF you're wondering whether to get a professional dog trainer, here's all you need to know...

Benefits of Hiring a Professional Dog Trainer:

Expertise: Professional trainers have specialised knowledge and experience in handling various breeds and behavioural issues.

Personalised Training Plans: Trainers can tailor their approach to meet the specific needs and temperament of your dog.

Efficiency: A professional can often achieve results more quickly than an inexperienced owner might.

Behavioural Improvement: Addressing issues such as aggression, anxiety, or excessive barking can lead to a more harmonious household.

Socialisation: Trainers can help your dog learn to interact well with other dogs and people.

Cost of Professional Dog Training:

Private Sessions: Typically range from £30 to £100 per hour, depending on the trainer’s experience and location.

Group Classes: Usually cost between £10 and £30 per session, often running as a course over several weeks.

Board and Train Programmes: These intensive programmes, where your dog stays with the trainer, can cost anywhere from £500 to £1,500 per week.

Online Courses: More budget-friendly options, ranging from £50 to £200 for a complete course, though less personalised.

When considering a professional dog trainer, weigh the benefits against the costs to determine what works best for you and your furry friend.

“Don’t get me wrong, Springers still need an active lifestyle but all of mine have been lazy as well!” 

A third said: “Incorrect my mum had 2 and they were the best dogs ever.”
