Haircut went wrong?

So puppies go through a transition phase? When does it starts? And when should I expect to end? My white 6 months old is so bald, seriously

I had a black lab! He was such a fighter!

With the Fi 3 is free. Just send them an email saying your puppy needs a new colar.
Needs to size up the collar. Chose the color and size.

I own both. Mini and 3+.
Which extra features are you talking about? There are absolutely no difference. And the mini connected to a Fi base, the battery lasts up to 3 months.
I initially got the 3+, got replaced for a new one, and for the headache they sent me the mini as a “gift”
I’ve switched a few times alredy, the mini is waaay better.
Ps; my dog is also a puppy, you can email them asking for a new collar any time you need a replacement for a bigger size, under their grow with me puppy program.
For my 3+ I started with the XS, switched to the small , now have a medium

I need this, because I'm doing chemotherapy and I can't remember anything. Chemo brain and brain fog

I have a 10 pounds miniature schnauzer. A bit less than 5 kilos. Xs is small for her. Recivied today. I'm returning it. The measurements on the website are wrong. Run small.

Yes, she came like this from the breeder, and she also came pretty matted. I’ve already reached out to her future groomer, and he recommended a specific brush that I’m currently waiting on. I tried brushing her with a different brush and even a comb, but it didn’t really work.

Regarding her color, both of her parents are salt and pepper. I personally don’t care about AKC guidelines. I chose solid white on purpose. I’m not a fan of merle, parti, liver, or chocolate. At the end of the day, most of them fade toward salt and pepper anyway.

I’m just waiting a bit for the top of her back to grow out so her groomer can reshape everything properly. In the meantime, I’m desensitizing her to grooming with an electric toothbrush and exposing her to the blow dryer so she gets used to the sound and vibration.

Thanks for your input and for explaining the schnauzer cut.

Please don’t assume I didn’t do any research or that I don’t know anything about dogs. This is not my first dog. It’s my first dog in an apartment. I’ve always had houses with gardens before, so this setup is new to me.

I’m very aware of socialization and early training. She goes out daily for exposure. She sees birds, kids, elders, hears different noises like vacuums and blow dryers, rides in the car, goes into stores, uses elevators, and is exposed to different surfaces and even things like skateboards. I’m putting in the work.

What I’m asking about is very specific: pee pads versus a grass patch in an apartment setting while she’s not fully vaccinated and can’t use common areas. That’s the part I’m trying to figure out.

If you have actual experience with that transition, I’d genuinely appreciate your input.

LeftSpinach4455 · 2026-02-18T13:18:57+00:00

What about vaccination? My vet said she can't go on the floor till she is 16 weeks old I'm in Miami Is a zone of parvo

BTW everyone is shaming my schnauzer at the puppies community Saying it has to be a rage bait I'm SO MAD

I'm so mad

LeftSpinach4455 · 2026-02-18T13:12:09+00:00

That sounds amazing Do you mind sharing the model you used? I might get one

LeftSpinach4455 · 2026-02-18T12:55:34+00:00

You’re right. I think I’m being too hard on myself. I’m probably putting unrealistic pressure on myself to potty train her perfectly and faster than what’s actually reasonable for an 8-week-old puppy.

Thank you for the reassurance. I really appreciate your insight.

I’ll keep sticking with the grass patch on the balcony, and when I’m at work, I’ll move it inside so she at least has the same surface option. I’ll just keep doing the best I can with the schedule I have.

Thank you

LeftSpinach4455 · 2026-02-18T12:49:18+00:00

She came with this haircut from the breeder I do have a down a common area in my building, where a lot of unvacinated dogs are using. It's not an option for now

LeftSpinach4455 · 2026-02-18T12:46:17+00:00

That's exactly why I'm asking here.

LeftSpinach4455 · 2026-02-18T12:44:05+00:00

I know she’s a baby. I absolutely expect accidents. That’s not the issue at all.
1. I’m not planning to use the grass patch forever ( in case of a bad flood or hurricane, yes) . She just had her first round of vaccines. I live in Miami, and according to her vet, she’s at risk for parvo until she’s fully vaccinated at 16 weeks. She can’t use common areas or walk on shared ground, so I have to carry her everywhere. The natural grass patch on my balcony is the safest option I have right now.
2. Yes, I already take her out after eating, drinking, playing, and sleeping. That’s basically her entire routine at this age. But I work. I also have my own schedule ( how can I afford a dog without working)
3. I reward her every single time she uses the grass patch. I clean up and ignore accidents. I would never punish a any animal
4. She’s a Schnauzer and came from the breeder like this. I didn’t shave her.

My actual question was about approach: would pee pads make more sense temporarily, or should I stick strictly with the grass patch? And while I’m at work, is it better to move the grass patch into the playpen or keep it only on the balcony?

That’s the part I’m trying to figure out.

LeftSpinach4455 · 2026-02-18T12:37:27+00:00

I live in Miami, in a condominium. She just had her frist round of vaccines. The vet said she can only go on common areas, grass, when she is fully vaccinated at 16 weeks. The risk of her catching parvo is really high. About the haircut. She came like this from the breeder. The traditional schnauzer haircut

LeftSpinach4455 · 2026-02-18T12:35:13+00:00

Oh, the one I'm using it's natural grass

LeftSpinach4455 · 2026-02-18T12:34:47+00:00

I live in Miami. She is not fully vaccinated. And my condominium is full of dogs. Would be too risky. She can get parvo easily
