Dog trainer Will Atherton, who has more than 900,000 followers on TikTok, has revealed the one breed of dog he wouldn't recommend as a pet in a busy family home

Will Atherton, known for his dog training guidance and with more than 900,000 TikTok followers, often gives insights into suitable dog breeds for various owners, taking lifestyle and temperament into account.

He continued: "One of the things I enjoy more in the dog world more than nearly anything else is when I take uncle Sully and we're working out in the field, doing some gun dog stuff, and you see a spaniel beating up game, flushing through thick heather and thick hedgerows." Yet this very trait, he suggests, may render them ill-suited for lively household environments. Will explained: "The problem is, when you bring that kind of energy into a busy family home, it rarely meshes very well. It wouldn't mesh well at my home with my family and my lifestyle, that's way too much energy."
