The Miniature Schnauzer is a lively and energetic dog. As a good dog owner, it’s your job is to raise a well behaved, happy and healthy dog. There are several things you can do to make sure your dog grows up to be the dog you want it to be.
Miniature Schnauzers are enthusiastic and need regular exercise to keep them happy, healthy and out of trouble. A walk at potty time is not enough. Luckily they are small dogs that can get a lot of exercise in a small yard or even an apartment. Games of fetch and tug several times a day in addition to regular walks or runs in a fenced-in yard can meet those needs.
All dogs need to be sociable and well mannered. This means learning to greet people and other dogs in a friendly manner without jumping up or growling, walking nicely on a leash, and coming when called. Most areas have kennel clubs or businesses where pet classes are taught. If you get your Miniature Schnauzer as a puppy, make sure you sign up for a puppy training class!
