Cocker dog breeds
When we talk about cocker spaniels we are not referring to a single breed, since there are currently two that exist:
- English Cocker Spaniel
- American Cocker Spaniel
There are several characteristics that differentiate one breed from the other, but at first glance the most notable can be seen in the snouts of both dogs. The American Cocker Spaniel has a flatter muzzle than the English. Another difference lies in the size, since the English are usually a little taller than the American. Likewise, the coat of the American Cocker is longer and more luxuriant than that of the English.
How to choose the best name for your cocker spaniel?
Regardless of whether your new companion is an American Cocker, an English Cocker, or a mix of both breeds (or one of them), you should keep the following tips in mind when choosing his name:
- Discard those terms that are similar to words in common use or chosen to teach basic commands, as they will confuse your dog.
- Prefers those short dog names, of no more than three syllables, because they tend to internalize them sooner.
- If you're out of ideas, you can look at the physical appearance of your dog or at particular features your personality.
- Once the name is selected, try to get all the members of the household to pronounce it the same way and avoid changing it. Although dogs are capable of learning a new name, it is preferable not to make this change.
When you have chosen the best name for your cocker spaniel, remember that the best way to teach it is through positive reinforcement, that is, always rewarding it when it responds when you call it. In general, dogs tend to learn their name quite quickly, but you must bear in mind that not all dogs learn at the same pace, and if it is a puppy it may take several days for them to internalize it and associate it with themselves. Be patient, be consistent and keep him motivated.

Names for male cocker spaniels
In addition to teaching your cocker spaniel to be alone at home, whether it is male or female, it is essential work on his socialization period, which begins with his mother and brothers. Not doing so can cause behavioral problems such as barking at other dogs during the walk, being insecure and fearful or, in the worst case, aggressive.
On the other hand, although all dogs mark, the marking of male dogs is usually more annoying than that of females due to the fact that they lift their paws to urinate. Well, to avoid this it is important to work on its education, spend time going for walks and sterilizing it. While it is true that sterilization reduces marking by 50% of cases, it prevents many other hormonal problems and unwanted pregnancies.
