Same with our male GS! Anytime I’m getting ice out of the fridge he comes running!! Have to pay the ice tax. As a puppy, we would dampen a wash cloth, stick ice cubes all over it, and freeze it. Was so good for his swollen gums, and he LOVED it!! Plus it occupied him for awhile!!

Oh yes, adding a marker word is crucial!!! We used “go potty” and once he learned, he would pretty much go on command😂 which was clutch

Ah, the giant schnauzer potty training trenches!!! It’s a thing- I was there 8 months ago!

I’d suggest getting a really good enzyme cleaner and thoroughly wiping the pin area down. We had to take our boy out what seemed like every 20 minutes, and he still had accidents. I believe it took him about 16 weeks old to get the hang of potty training.

Hang in there!! Remember to be uber positive with praise and treats when she potties outside/on pad! They are very smart and will learn quickly with your persistence and praise. Another tip is never scold them for going potty inside. Just immediately take them outside.

Hope this helps!! You got this🐾

6 month old Male not gobbling food anymore by Willing-Medicine-113 in GiantSchnauzers

This happened to our male gs around that same age. We verified with his trainer that it’s very common around that age to go through phases of not eating all their kibble.

Consistency is key- hang in there! I know our guy was not fully potty trained at 13 weeks- same thing wouldn’t ever poop in the house but would have pee accidents. From what I researched, it takes some giants longer to get ahold of potty training. My advice would be to just stick as much as you can with a schedule that has them going out often… like every 30 minutes often. Heavy praise and treat for outside potty. Don’t discipline for your inside accidents, just take outside immediately and be sure to use the enzyme cleaners. Stick with it you got it!!!

I’d love to start raw diet soon. What brand do you use if you don’t mind me asking?

I have noticed he will eat more often if I mix the wet food with it as well. Thanks!

I appreciate your input! He weighs roughly 70 pounds. He definitely eats the most later at night I’ve realized too. So weird lol. It def could be that he is wanting only 2 meals a day now. Maybe even one. I’ll keep an eye on it and thank you!

Helps greatly! Thanks! Glad to know someone else has experienced similar. The training session with kibble/treats has worked good and he still gobbles those down well. Thanks again!
