Maggie: My husband and I own 3 mini-schnauzers, the oldest
being almost 4 and the youngest just turned 1. Also, we own
a 5 yr old puggie and a 6 month old wire haired fox terrier. We
have our hands full, that's for sure. In reference to your 'prob-
lem child'....I honestly am not seeing one with the exception of
the potty issue. Have you taken the pup to the vet to see if per-
haps he/she may have a urinary tract infection? As far as the
barking, growling, protectiveness goes.....I have that with all
3 of mine. My oldest, Mischief is the least protective...my mid-
ddle, Viper is the most vocal as well as protective. They all
will bark if anyone in our household crosses the baby gates, know-
ing darn well who they are....as for myself..they never let out
a peep, unless when I return home from work, the garage door
opens and I can hear all of them barking, waiting for my entrance
to greet mom. My youngest, Blizzard is for sure a 'momma's boy'.
He is by far the most jealous as well. If any other hounds make
attempt to greet mom....there's Bliz.....right @ your side trying
to get your undivided attention by zapping off the others....he's
my baby boy. I paid big $$'s to have all 3 of mine trained and
let me tell you, dog training is really tough! Getting my part
done was quite the task. By the end, I pretty much quit the
training and came to the conclusion that my mini's will be mini's
and that's all there was to it..barking or not. Every schnauzer
is different, no two alike. We love em all.....so, by now since
it has been 4 months down the road since your message, did u find
out what was wrong with your doggie if anything @ all? Please
let me know how things are going..take care...Kathi
