rescue dog- mad behaviour

Question
QUESTION: we got a rescue springer spaniel then aged 1 1/2 nearly a yr ago to go with our other springer,she is the same age. they have both been neutered. he is very affectionate and wants your attention all the time- not always a good thing as he will barge our other dog out of ther way to get to you- everything is him first! he pulls on the lead and circles and jumping dribbling yelping when we get his lead out- we have tried using different leads- not moving until he is calm- checking his lead ,distractions but no change- our other dog walks beautifully. he will attempt to lunge and bark at other dogs in the park but never actually bites- i think its more out of fear and will bark etc before they do but it scares walkers. i have corrected him- turned him in the opposite direction - ignored but he still will although it is getting better. he is also obsessed by balls- he is excellent when he has a ball and takes no notice of anything else but it does seem a bit much! i dont know his history other than he did live with another dog before he was put to rescue- he has never shown aggression to anyone not even our other dog, we are just at our wits end !

ANSWER: Ok, we need to deal with one problem at a time. What is your biggest problem with him? Where does he sleep? Who feeds him? How often does he go out? If he is on a walk alone does he act like this, or only when with your other spaniel?

QUESTION: the biggest problem is him being sooo excited when going for walks and jumping and pulling and circling- he sleeps downstairs in his bed with our other spaniel- he goes out twice a day and also has the run of the back garden, we havnt walked them apart so i  dont know if he still acts like it. i feed him and he is trained to sit and wait until i say he can have the food which he does brilliantly.

Answer
Ok, what I want you to do is, get the lead out, he will do his thing. Just let him do it, ignore him. He may go on and on for a while. Just keep ignoring. As soon as he is quiet or lies down try and put the lead on him. If he starts again, go back to ignore mode. When he is calm, or at least a bit more settled, give him a treat.

Repeat this over and over. You should see a difference in a day or two.

Tell me how you get on.
