Schnauzer Tip of The Day

Teach Your Schnauzer to "High Five" for Nail Trimming to Make It a Positive Experience.

Transform nail trimming from a stressful chore into a positive experience by teaching your Schnauzer to "high five."

This trick not only makes the process more enjoyable but also gives you easy access to their paws.

Start by rewarding your Schnauzer for lifting a paw on command. Gradually shape this into a full high five motion.

Once mastered, introduce the nail clippers during high five sessions, rewarding your dog for calm behavior around them.

Slowly progress to touching your Schnauzer's nails with the clippers during the high five, always rewarding generously.

Eventually, clip just one nail per session, immediately following with treats and praise. Gradually increase the number of nails trimmed each time.

This approach associates nail trimming with the fun of performing a trick and receiving rewards. It helps your Schnauzer remain calm and cooperative during grooming, making the experience more pleasant for both of you.

Trivia Answer

According to Stanley Coren's book "The Intelligence of Dogs," Miniature Schnauzers rank quite high in intelligence among dog breeds.

They are typically placed in the "Excellent Working Dogs" category, which is the second-highest tier in Coren's intelligence rankings.

Specifically, Miniature Schnauzers are usually ranked around 12th to 15th out of the approximately 140 breeds evaluated in the book. This puts them in the top 10-15% of all dog breeds in terms of intelligence as measured by Coren's criteria.

It's worth noting that Coren's rankings are primarily based on working and obedience intelligence, which considers factors like how quickly a dog can learn new commands and how reliably they obey known commands.
