12 Realities New Schnauzer Owners Must Learn To Accept

by pawbuzz on in Dogs 302

Generally Schnauzers have a pleasant, playful, spunky temperament that fits well into a lot of homes.

They love their walks and need a decent amount of exercise, but mostly they just want to participate fully in the family. They make alert watchdogs and may welcome strangers with enthusiasm or be a bit standoffish, even suspicious, if not well socialized.

Although Schnauzers often display obstinate resistance to walking on the leash, they respond well to obedience training. Many of them win top awards in advanced obedience.

Schnauzers are adaptable, makes an excellent traveling companion, and even if slightly spoiled, doesn't take as much advantage of it as many other terriers. They can be barky, though.

If you are considering to own a schnauzer, or you’ve just become a new schnauzer owner, there are some realities you do need to fully accept.

    Oh my this is so true! Describes my boy perfectly! I rescued mine from a first time dog/schnauzer owner who had no clue and due to this ignorance he became increasingly aggressive when with her. So that’s why she asked me to take him. I have worked with him a lot and he had gone a long way but there has been a few issues I haven’t been able to resolve. He has fit in well with our home so far but now I’m 13 weeks pregnant and I’m afraid I just can’t take the chance:( He still tries to sometimes snap at my husband when he goes to move him to get into bed. I can’t leave the room or go to the bathroom with him screaming bloody murder bc he can’t be near me. So I need to re-home him and have looked for schnauzer rescue sites in my area but have been unable to find any. I really want a knowledgeable schnauzer person to take him and for this to be his last time to have to go through this. So I thought I would ask you guys if you know of any rescue groups for schnauzer’s in California. I’m willing to travel if it means finding this special dog his forever home..thank you!!
