If you have ever trained a lab, or any kind of retriever other than a spaniel, try your best to forget everything you know. Spaniels are a much softer-tempered dog and will just shut down on you if you are too harsh on them.
Go buy this book: Retriever Training for Spaniels
I have been using this book as a guide on my now 9 week old boykin and she is doing great and progressing quickly. It's nothing earth-shattering but having the guide is a big help for me. Good luck and post some pics!

Obediance, obediance, and more obediance. Sit, stay, heel, come, down, and so forth. The word no is important, make sure he/she understands it. Do not over react when it does not obey. Dogs are sometimes like people, they have bad days too. If a training session isn't working out, stop. More harm than good can come out of a bad session. And on your side, patience, patience, and more patience. Also like someone said bonding is important in the early weeks, months. Good luck.
