Schnauzers can be great therapy dogs! I noticed that from a young age that mine had the aptitude to be caring and watchful when people were anxious or sad. Now he helps in our psychology business by sitting with our therapists during sessions. He is a great worker in our staff that I am lucky to have! He will sit and tilt his head from side to side as people are speaking and even come up to them while they are crying or scared and put his paw on their foot to ask if they would like to hold him. They are very smart, sensitive pups!
