Re: Springer spaniel or should I say Tazmanian Devil!!

My sullie (Springer Spaniel) Age 10 Months is like Tigger on speed. I walk him twice a day for max 2.30Hrs.. He is not interested in any treat whether it be meat,Chocolate.. We have now reverted to keeping him on a Long lead whilst walking as we have nailed re-call and he will come back and sit but he will not allow you to put the lead back on him he thinks it's funny to jump from side to side and then run off again . So rather than get upset and shout til we have no voice we are using the lead and finding an alternative treat to entice him... The only real issue we have with sullie is he stands on his back legs and constantly slaps you with his paws (bear in mind he weighs 19Kilo) last weigh in.. Does anyone have an idea why he would keep doing this or how to nip it in the butt.. I keep telling myself he still only little and I have a long way to go, just need perserverance. But any tips would be most appreciated.
