Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is required reading for anyone who shares their life with a Schnoodle! The Complete Guide to Schnoodles will help you unlock the secrets to raising your lively, inquisitive puppy into a friendly, well-trained adult dog. Filled with valuable tips and tricks for training and socializing your new Schnoodle, this handbook will ensure that you stay one step ahead of your clever canine. Find out the answers to your most pressing questions, including: Is a Schnoodle right for me? How do I prepare my home for a clever and active Schnoodle puppy? Which training methods do Schnoodles respond best to? How do I prevent or extinguish common problem behaviors? Schnoodles were developed in the 1980s from Poodles and Schnauzers, both intelligent, spunky breeds. While Poodles are generally friendly, outgoing dogs, Schnauzers tend to be a little more wary and protective. Schnoodles tend to inherit a little of both attitudes, with most being both friendly and protective. Each parent breed is intelligent, active, and curious canines, so it is essential that they get enough physical and mental exercise to keep them busy and out of trouble. Poodle and Schnauzer breeds both come in multiple sizes, each with their own personality quirks. Their offspring also come in a variety of sizes—from toy-sized to large—with the associated variation in temperament. Whether your particular Schnoodle inherits the curly coat of the Poodle or the straight, wiry coat of the Schnauzer, this dog is a good choice for allergy sufferers as both parent breeds are low-dander dogs. In this comprehensive manual, you will gain all the knowledge you need to guide your active Schnoodle from free-spirited pup to clever, well-mannered adult dog. Whether you are looking for a family companion, a therapy dog, or a performance animal, a Schnoodle is likely to be a good fit. These smart, active dogs can thrive in just about any environment, as long as they get plenty of love and affection. If left home alone too often or for too long, these cheerful pooches may bark excessively, develop separation anxiety, or become withdrawn. This thorough guidebook will give you the tools you need to keep your dog happy and healthy, from his first day home to his final years. Discover valuable information about your new Schnoodle, including: The history of the Schnauzer and the Poodle Choosing the right Schnoodle for your lifestyle Schnoodle sizes and temperaments What to expect from a breeder or rescue Preparing your home for a precocious pup The importance of play for your Schnoodle What to expect the first few weeks home House-training tips for the Schnoodle dog Socialization and training techniques for your smart Schnoodle Selecting a daily diet for your canine companion Grooming your Schnoodle (with guidelines for both coat types) Keeping your Schnoodle mentally and physically challenged Genetic health concerns common to Schnoodles Caring for your senior Schnoodle The designer dog known as the Schnoodle has only been around for a few decades, but they have gained a loyal following due to their entertaining and endearing natures. Unfortunately, unscrupulous breeders may try and cash in on this popularity without carefully selecting the sire and dam for health and temperament.

Quite simply, humans are primates and dogs are canids (as are wolves, coyotes, and foxes). Since we each speak a different native tongue, a lot gets lost in the translation.

Inside you will discover: • How you can get your dog to come when called by acting less like a primate and more like a dog • Why the advice to “get dominance” over your dog can cause problems • Why “rough and tumble primate play” can lead to trouble—and how to play with your dog in ways that are fun and keep him out of mischief • How dogs and humans share personality types—and why most dogs want to live with benevolent leaders rather than “alpha wanna-bes!” Fascinating, insightful, and compelling, The Other End of the Leash is a book that strives to help you connect with your dog in a completely new way—so as to enrich that most rewarding of relationships.

Download or read book After You Get Your Puppy written by Ian Dunbar and published by James & Kenneth, Publishers. This book was released on 2001 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now you have your puppy, the clock is ticking and you need to meet three more Developmental Deadlines before your puppy is five months old.4th Developmental Deadline - Socializing Your Puppy to PeopleYour Most Urgent Priority is to socialize your puppy to a wide variety of people, especially children, men, and strangers, before he is twelve weeks old. Well-socialized puppies grow up to be wonderful companions, whereas antisocial dogs are difficult, time-consuming, and potentially dangerous. As a rule of thumb, your puppy needs to meet at least one hundred people before he is three months old. Since your puppy is still too young to venture out to dog parks and sidewalks, you'll need to start inviting people to your home right away.5th Developmental Deadline - Teaching Bite InhibitionYour Most Important Priority is that your puppy learns to inhibit the force of his bites and develop a "soft mouth"; before he is eighteen weeks old. Whenever a dog bites a person, or fights with another dog, the single most important prognostic factor is the degree of bite inhibition and hence, the likelihood and seriousness of injury. Accidents happen. Someone may tread on the dog's paw, or a child may trip over the dog while he's gnawing a bone. A dog may snap and lunge at a person when hurt or frightened, but if the dog has well-established bite inhibition, it is unlikely the dog's teeth will puncture, or even touch the skin.6th Developmental Deadline - Continuing Socialization in The World at LargeThe Most Enjoyable Priority of dog ownership is to introduce your well-socialized puppy to the world at large. Your dog will only remain sociable and confident if he continues to meet and greet at least three unfamiliar people and three unfamiliar dogs every day. Meeting the same people and dogs over and over is not sufficient. Your dog needs to practice meeting, greeting, and getting along with strangers, not simply getting along with old friends. Regular walks with your dog are as essential as they are enjoyable.
