They are recommended with older considerate children, simply because most small dogs are treated in such a way they start to believe they rule the home. This can cause a varying degree of behavior problems, which are not Cavalier traits, but are brought on by the way they are being treated. Do not allow this sweet dog to develop Small Dog Syndrome, human-induced behaviors where the dog thinks he is pack leader to humans. Do to their hunting background they have an instinct to chase. If you do need to leave them, be sure to take them for a pack walk before you leave to put them in a natural rest mode. They are not suited to kennel life and should not be left alone all day. Cavaliers love people, enjoy companionship, and need rules to follow and limits to what they are allowed to do. They are said to be naturally well behaved and get along well with other dogs and non-canine pets. They are intelligent enough to understand what you want and therefore are usually easy to train and respond well to gentle obedience training. Outgoing and sportive, these fearless lively little dogs are eager and willing to please.
The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is an eager, affectionate and happy dog, always seeming to be wagging its tail.
