By: Paige T.  Problem and Solution Cocker Spaniels are very loveable dogs. They can sometimes be a bit rough and provide you with many challenges.They can also change your attitude completely. If your dog runs away, you could think of millions of things to do to find them. The first thing you should do is call all local animal shelters to see if they found your dog. Next, call the local police stations so they can be on watch for them. You need to describe your dog to them. Tell them your dog’s name, color, size, sex, breed, and when you last saw him/her. If you really want to find your lost pup you can make flyers. Spread the word by telling all your friends and family. Every day you should spend at least thirty minutes either driving, biking, or walking around to search for them. That’s what you should do if you lost your dog. If your dog chews on things all around the house, then I have a ** solution ** for you. One thing you should know is that when your dog has something in his/her mouth that they’re not allowed to have, don’t rip it out of their mouthes because that will give them the urge to get it back. That will cause them to run after you, bark, or jump on you. When they chew on things that means they’re probably bored. Start to walk them and play with them more often so they’re entertained. To train them not to chew on items use the strategy of taking your dog, placing items that they aren’t allowed to have in front of him/her and if they start to chew on it make a command to tell them not to and then guide them to a toy or bone that they can chew on. That’s what you should do if your dog chews on things they shouldn’t. If your dog has a flea ** problem ** then I have the solution for you. **To** **solve this** ** problem ** you can do any of the following. You can get a special flea comb and try to brush out most of those nasty fleas, after that give them a bath using dog flea shampoo (conditioner is not needed). Most of them will come out. You can also try giving your dog medicine which will get into the skin and kill the fleas. The last thing I have for you to try is a flea collar. This will get rid of the fleas quickly. By following these tips, you and your Cocker Spaniel will have many happy years together.
