The best toys for spaniels
1. Sheepskin Bungee Chaser
Because spaniels were traditionally bred to be used as gun dogs, they have an instinctive and powerful urge to chase.
We know from our experience as professional dog trainers that it’s much better to work with this instinct, than to try and stop it.
With a Sheepskin Bungee Chaser in your toolkit, you can harness your spaniel’s chase instinct and turn it into a powerful tool for training success.
This chaser tug toy is made with real, responsibly-sourced sheepskin with a scent and texture your spaniel will find irresistible. Use the long handle to drag it along the floor and watch them focus like never before!
2. The Clam
Say hello to the ultimate foodie training toy that your Spaniel is guaranteed to go crazy for.
The Clam is a super versatile toy (and also our most popular toy EVER!). Our favourite way to use it with spaniels is for confidence building and enrichment. Simply fill it with smelly treats and hide it in a box stuffed with scrunched up paper. Then, let them sniff it out and reward themselves by opening the ‘shells’ of The Clam with their snout.
The Clam is also a great choice for your spaniel if you take part in agility or flyball. By throwing The Clam ahead, your dog will feel more motivated than ever during their run and they will love getting instantly rewarded at the end by helping themselves to the treats inside.
Like with all Tug-E-Nuff toys, you can buy The Clam with confidence thanks to our 45 day Tug It + Love It guarantee.
3. Pocket Magnet
What’s your spaniel’s recall like? Bulletproof or a bit iffy?
If you’re leaning towards iffy, you need the Pocket Magnet in your life.
This is one of our most powerful aids for teaching recall. It’s made with real, fluffy sheepskin and a short bungee handle, that makes it perfect for popping in your pocket for walks.
Simply reveal it when you need to eradicate distractions (yes, even squirrels) and guarantee your spaniel only has eyes (and ears) for you.
How to calm your spaniel down
Once you've both had your tugging fill, perhaps you'd like some help calming your Spaniel down? Sniffing and tracking scents is a much-loved Spaniel activity, only we'd rather they weren't running off after whatever's caught their fancy!
Harness the power of your Spaniels nose with some fun scentwork games that are easy to play.
