My Developing Dog for Cocker Spaniels
Puppies are wonderful additions to the family, but they can be a handful. That’s why Battersea created My Developing Dog - a WhatsApp journey designed to support new and soon-to-be Cocker Spaniel puppy owners through the early stages, with guidance tailored specifically to the breed.
Created by the expert animal behaviourists and clinicians at Battersea, the free service walked owners through their Cocker Spaniel’s development to help prepare them for each new milestone up to adolescence, whether it was introducing their puppy to another pet, or putting their harness on for the very first time.
The information shared through this WhatsApp service is intended as general guidance on caring for your puppy and should not be used as a substitute for professional veterinary, behavioural, or legal advice. While we strive to provide helpful and accurate information, Battersea makes no guarantees as to its completeness or accuracy and accepts no responsibility or liability for any loss, injury, or outcomes resulting from the use of, or reliance on, this guidance.
