Hi! My mother in law has two Mini Schnauzers (from the same litter) a boy and a girl. They are almost 5 months old and her little girl is out of control. While the little guy is super sweet his sister is sort of wicked sometimes. We need help before this puppy is a grown dog and can do significant damage to herself, other pups and US!...Beatrice growls (not in a playful way) showing her teeth and nipping at people. She displays this behavior when she is moved from a confy lounging area or just doesn't want to be messed with. She runs around the house like she owns the place. She doesn't come when called, moreover she runs away and plays a game of 'catch me if you can', and does so constantly. We are chasing her around the house like a 2 year old. She has tried to bite my husband and myself on several occasions. I have two minis, my father in law has three and none have ever displayed such aggressive behavior. Minis are super smart dogs and this one seems to have a devious sometimes nasty demeanor and may be too smart for all our good!...On the flip side, she can also be an angel. Loves to cuddle (when SHE wants to) and can be very sweet. It's alarming to see the drastic change in her attitude.
Just to clarify, Beatrice has never been mistreated and still seems to display an "I don't care what you want. I do what I want and if you try to stop me then I'll show you" attitude. It is getting to the point that she will no longer be welcome in our home. She is just too unpredictable and I for one don't enjoy being bit!
Please help us find a way to help this pup become a great and happy one while still adhering to commands.
