  1. Is mine the only crazy one. Doesn’t behave or do as he’s told. Won’t stop pulling on the lead. We can’t let him off the lead has he doesn’t come back. Keeps barking at home. Everyone’s Cocker sounds so nice compared to ours. X

  2. My Chloe is just like yours. She is wild! We can’t open the door if she’s near or she bolts and we spend an hour playing “her” game of chase. Thank goodness we are in a gated community so she’s semi-trapped. It’s crazy! Our other Cocker, Ginger, who is a rescue, is much better at listening but she too will run and not come back.
