The Mighty Prawn Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 issues, horrors this is not what I want please explain lol We bought a standard schnauzer and he was hell on earth, we discovered later this is not uncommon with schnauzers. Things like nipping ankles, going hyper and bouncing around the room, territory disputes... He's generally lovely now though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fieldwanderer Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 I'd love a second but circumstances prevent it unfortunately. I've no idea what help, knowledge etc you have so please don't take this the wrong way; I'd never had a dog before getting my e.s.s. let alone tried to train one - I found the book "training spaniels" by joe irving really worth it's weight in gold. Sadly, about 6 months into the training I got a job working nights and had a job doing anything but work&sleep so I've ended up with a dog that knows the commands but doesn't necessarily comply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fortune Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Magic. The colour pattern on her face is exactly the same as my springer when she was a pup. The only thing that I can add is dont loose your cool with her when she gets into chewing up the house, shoes, Ect, Ect as will inevitably happen. My springer Bramble when she was a pup. A few years later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
