When training always remember that Cavalier King Charles Spaniels (puppies/dogs) respond best to positive reinforcement. Do not yell at your Cavalier King Charles Spaniel (puppy/dog) and if you feel frustrated call it a day by ending on something simple and positive and then try again tomorrow. Cavalier King Charles Spaniels (puppies/dogs) can feel your tension so do not even try to pretend with them. Always use positive reinforcement like treats, verbal comments like "good boy/girl", and I like to use the under the chin quick pet at times as well.

There is a process to training. The key is to get your Cavalier King Charles Spaniel (puppy/dog) to perform the action and at that exact moment you give the command for the action, then praise your Cavalier King Charles Spaniel (puppy/dog) and reward with a treat. After a while, your Cavalier King Charles Spaniel (puppy/dog) will associate the action with the command.

Train Your Cavalier King Charles Spaniel (Puppy/Dog) to Stand

Stand is a necessary command for the show or obedience ring. Have your Cavalier King Charles Spaniel (puppy/dog) sit on your left. As you say "stand", pull his leash forward with your right hand and move your left foot forward like you are going to start heeling. Say "good boy" (click) as soon as he stands up. Repeat several times a day and within the week your Cavalier King Charles Spaniel (puppy/dog) should know how to stand on command.

In the show ring, your Cavalier King Charles Spaniel (puppy/dog) is required to stand while being touched all over for inspection.
