I dunno about mine being nervous. The spaniel is still very young but she readily plays around after a few days since I got her and it appears she is peeing and pooping in the right places. Quite unexpected. Goooodddd... Most of my puppies would excrete wastes just about anywhere but not this one.I'm going to have to agree with the Rottweiler. Planning on getting one from here. http://www.choicek9s.com/
ATM I have a Cocker Spaniel. I've read that they're finicky, nervous dogs that like to nip at people in general and don't seem to do well with smaller children. I must have gotten lucky because mine has fallen right into line with my kids and has been trained to wake them up in the AM when I tell him to by licking their face and tugging on the ankle to their pajamas.
