Pont-Audemer Spaniel

Grooming

Pont-Audemer Spaniel dogs have a curly and ruffed coat that can be brown or brown with grey mottled. These dogs require a lot of care to keep them looking good. By regular brushing, you will make sure that you keep the amount of hair under control and keep the Pont-Audemer Spaniel's coat healthy.

Since these dogs have droopy ears, you should be very careful and check them regularly. They are prone to developing ear infections, and because of that, weekly check their ears for any signs of infections – bad odor, redness, wax build-up, etc.

With these dogs, the rest is basic care. Trim their nails if the dog doesn’t wear them out naturally, bathe them a few times a year, and brush their teeth so they secure fresh breath and healthy gums.

Exercise

Pont-Audemer Spaniel was bred for hunting, and because of that, they will need proper training if you want your dog to develop into a well-behaved dog. Also, their high prey drive can be a problem that you will need to take care of. 

When training a Pont-Audemer Spaniel, make sure you use positive training methods. Never use fear, punishment, or pain because it is cruel and can result in an overly shy or even aggressive dog. Be firm, fair, and consistent, but use only positive reinforcement!

These dogs are eager to do whatever their people ask of them. Involve as many treats as you can and keep the training sessions interesting.

Socialization

One of the best things you could do for your dog is to start socializing them as soon as possible. This process shouldn’t be a problem because Pont-Audemer Spaniels are very friendly and love the company and playing with other dogs.

There are many ways you can socialize your Pont-Audemer Spaniel, and the most important thing to do is to get your dog familiar with the different situations they can find themselves in. Take your dog to parks where they can meet other dogs and people.

They can learn to react accordingly and understand that they don’t need to be scared of strangers and other dogs. It is also possible to socialize and teach your dog how to handle other pets, although they might never learn to “play nice” with other pets due to their high prey drive.
