  all dogs fart, how much and any associated odours usually depends on diet.
  has he had anything different lately?
  
  if it's very bad or incredibly out of the ordinary, it might be worth asking a vet, but it's probably down to diet or sometimes medications

  I'm thinking of taking him, he has the same diet, eats the same everyday, but when he does it, he ususally empties a room and usually goes upstairs, he's a fully grown, but tiny spaniel!!

  always worth asking profession advice if it's a bother
  
  what does he get fed, if you don;t mind my asking?
  
  we walk a labrador who is fed on eukanuba and can do the same thing as your dog some days, she seems to toot an awful lot!

  We feed him Royal Canin, as my dad gets it from work, sometimes he has meat, then other times he has dry, we've tried charcoal and everything.

  It's either food or does he gulp his food down quickly ? If he does he could be swallowing amounts of air with it. You can get special bowls that stop them eating so fast reasonably cheaply may be worth a try.

  try charcoal tablets as they are stronger than biscits as it will help with the tummy - its safe as i have used these on my parents dogs and after they use these they calm down in a sense! it would help if you try this for a long period of time so then tummy and body will get used to it
