I have a 3 year old English Springer Spaniel? Is he too old already to be taught that? How would I train him?
Answer:Here's a reference for training mine detecting dogs. Training a dog to detect anything is similar, so these methods can be used to teach the dog to find money. 3 years is a perfect time to begin training for such tasks, assuming the dog is already trained in basic manners and obedience. Be careful what you wish for, though...do you really want your dog to be constantly alerting on your wallet in order to get a reward? http://www.gichd.org/fileadmin/pdf/publications/MDD/MDD.pdf

i am getting a ten week old english springer spaniel and was wondering does anyone know how much should i feed him if i feed him 3 times a day?? any more advice on that breed?
Answer:Most high-quality dog foods recommend approximately 1-1/2 cups per 20 pounds of body weight per day for smaller breeds, since they require 15-25% more calories per pound than larger breeds. Large and giant breeds are more often fed 1 cup per 20-25 pounds. Puppies should be fed twice a day until they reach 8-9 months. You must also consider the following, and adjust the food amount accordingly: * The actual calorie content of the food * Your dog's weight (and projected target weight if necessary). Ask your veterinarian if you're not sure about an ideal weight for your dog * Your dog's activity level * Other environmental variables (temperature) * Any additional calories from treats or table foods * Remember, most dogs are overfed and under-exercised - so, if in doubt about how much to feed initially, feed a little less After you have started feeding your dog an appropriate amount of food, weigh your dog at least once a month to determine if you (and your dog) are on the right track. If necessary, increase or decrease the amount of food slightly until the dog stays at his ideal weight. You can easily weigh your small dog on your bathroom scale - simply weigh yourself while you hold your dog, then weigh yourself without your dog and subtract the difference. Talk to your vet if you have any questions!
