hi all,
we have a 4 month old, we got him at 6 weeks. People say wait until 8 weeks but that advice is a bit late..
So the problem is that when we take him down to the river or the park he whinges and cries as he walks / runs. When we are home he is a normal fella mostly.
we always end up having people giving us advice as we walk or telling us to pick him up and love him. I dont know, i think it is excitement or nervous behaviour. Thing is, today we took him to the vet and the lady behind the counter heard his whinging and said what dog is it, 'oh a spaniel, they're wusses'. and then she said after more crying that he needs to go to puppy classes. We felt really quite on display in a bad way.
It is really embarrassing for me as I am not sure of the reason and I need to help him.
What do you think I can do?
