One of the reasons the Cocker Spaniel is so popular is that he makes a good family dog. He gets along well with children--as long as he is raised with them and the kids are kind and respectful to animals. But because he is a sensitive dog, all interactions between the Cocker and children should be supervised by a responsible adult.

The Cocker Spaniel also gets along with other family pets (given proper training and introductions), including dogs, cats, and small animals.
