Schnauzer dogs have to be well trained and well cared for. If they are well trained, they will be loyal, happy, obedient and great dogs to have in the family. To be well trained, good socialization is the key to getting them used to other people and other dogs. All Schnauzer dogs are wonderfully playful, happy, feisty, confident, intelligent and protective dogs. As they are protective, it can cause them to get aggressive around other people they are unsure of.

If you get your Schnauzer socialized early on you are ahead of the battle. They have to be well socialized to get along with other types of dogs. Otherwise, you may have a lot on your hands at a later date.

Do not get angry with them if they make mistakes – they will make a mistake eventually! Praise them when they do get it right and give them plenty of cuddles and treats! Click to continue »

All Schnauzers are wonderful dogs that look beautiful when looked after properly. The Schnauzer breed could lose much of its beautiful charm if it is not looked after correctly and groomed on a regular basis. You can of course, pay someone else to groom your Schnauzer, but you will get so much pride and satisfaction from grooming your Schnauzer yourself.

The Schnauzers have a wiry coat and it is fairly short. A good side to the Schnauzer is that they shed virtually no fur whatsoever. This makes them great dogs for people who suffer from pet allergies. They need to be groomed and properly clipped frequently to ensure that the coat stays in a great condition.

Getting a short wire brush is essential for grooming the Schnauzer dogs. The fur can become tangled and very matted if it is not brushed, clipped and trimmed often enough. The fur should be brushed every day without fail to make sure that the fur stays as beautiful as it should do. The Schnauzer’s whiskers should also be brushed and cleaned after every single meal.
