You need to make introductions slowly to new dog friends. 05
Most American Water Spaniels get along well with other dogs, you may not want to buy a American Water Spaniel if you have a small dog or cat. If you do have other dogs, consider neutering your American Water Spaniel at six months to keep aggression toward other dogs in check. Small children and American Water Spaniels get along quite nicely, although your American Water Spaniel may be too energetic to play with toddlers until he matures. After all, a young, exuberant American Water Spaniel can easily knock an adult flat with an overly enthusiastic greeting. Since American Water Spaniels are so high energy and so powerful, these dogs need to be enrolled in obedience training while they are still easy to control. Puppy classes can also help you socialize your American Water Spaniel and will teach him to play nicely with other dogs. These dogs are eager to please and should pick up basic obedience commands quickly. You may want to consider advanced obedience and agility training for your American Water Spaniel, as well.
