Ahh okay that makes sense! It almost sounds like something neurological going on though or genetic.

hyperkinesis is a physiological problem and probably genetic

Were her parents anything like this?

I don’t think so. Her father is a successful working dog, which he wouldn’t be able to do unless it was extremely mild. unfortunately I don’t know much about her mother because she past away due to birthing complications, it didn’t sound like she was like this

Do yall have any tips to get willow to stand in the shower for baths? She's constantly trying to escape which makes it even harder to bathe her lol not to mention she's water proof

Put the lick mat in the shower a few times before starting to wash her while she is licking

Ahh okay that’s weird then! But the being randomly fearful and a few other things sound more neurological.

Apparently hyperkinesis can cause it, hopefully we will get more information from the vet! I am worried they will brush it off as just young spaniel

Yeah, seems like she definitely has LOADS of energy. Maybe playing with her for thirty minutes, then bringing out the other dogs until they tire, then playing some more could tire her?

If your vet trusts you, then I'd trust them

No, I stopped at 30 minutes because I was worried for her health she needed to rest but couldn’t. She looked like she was going to collapse before she would stop!

Also she is only 9 months old more then an hour strenuous exercises everyday isn’t good for her joints

Free running on soft ground is better for them than running on pavement/on leash/forced exercise
