How to Train your SCHNAUZER

Training Your Standard Schnauzer

The Standard Schnauzer is a highly intelligent, robust working dog with a strong terrier-like spirit. They are incredibly quick learners but can be mischievous.

Key Training Tips:

• Vary the Routine: Because they learn so quickly, they bore easily. If you repeat the same command too many times, they will simply ignore you.
• Firm Leadership: They are strong-willed and will test your limits daily. You must enforce the rules consistently without exception.
• Prey Drive: They possess a strong instinct to chase small animals. A reliable recall command and secure fencing are absolutely essential.

They are highly affectionate, excellent watchdogs, and excel in agility, obedience, and tracking when properly motivated.
