Schnauzer Byte: House Breaking with Bells On

If you are housetraining your Mini Schnauzer and don't have a pet door, check out these Dog Doorbells. Your Mini Schnauzer would ring the bells when they need to go potty, and you would simply let them out (or, if you don't have a fenced-in yard, grab the leash.)

Or the very crafty could probably make their own, since they seem to consist of sleigh bells and ribbon.

Schnauzer Byte: Barking

Miniature schnauzers are great watchdogs because they inherently bark at anything that moves!!

Be sure to teach your schnauzer to "be quiet" after acknowledging their alert. They learn any command fairly quickly, so this shouldn't be a problem if consistently enforced. A mini schnauzer that is not taught the "quiet" command will never shut up!
