I am getting a German Shephard/Husky cross dog who is 7 weeks old. She will be a big dog in the end as well.

Our pets need quality pet food. Read the ingredients list and learn what the stuff on there is and what it does (or does not do) to/for our pets. A quick pet food 101. If the pet food contains corn/corn products or by products it is a poor quality food. Do not pay attention to advertising, they all say there food is great. Corn is a filler that can trigger skin problems. (allergies, skin problems, itching and excessive shedding) By products is anything from an animal not fit for human consumption, including cancerous tissue. Quality foods have meat as the first ingredient. California Natural, Solid Gold, Innova and Merrick are a few of the best brands available.

The first thing to remember about house training a puppy is there ability to hold themselves is limited. a rule of thumb is they can hold "it" usually 1 hour for each month of age. 2 months old = 2 hours, 3 months old = 3 hours, etc. when your puppy wakes up (morning, nap, whatever) the pup has to go, right then! take the pup out. when the pup eats or drinks, it has to go, take the pup out. after exercise (play), take the pup out. when the pup does it's thing outside praise it. a lot. tell the pup how good, how smart it is. you have to pay attention to the pups "looking for it's spot" behavior. when you see that behavior indoors, whisk the pup out. if you catch the pup in the act, simply tell it "NO!" and whisk it outside. if you find a puddle or pile after the fact, clean it up with an enzyme cleaner (pet food store) get a newspaper and hit.... yourself in the head and say "i should have been paying more attention" daytime training they get pretty fast. night time training is easier if you crate train the pup. also remember the one hour/one month rule. you will have to get up through the night to take the pup out. good luck.

Does anyone have any tips for raising a miniature schnauzer?
Ophelia
I'll be getting a miniature schnauzer puppy in about a month. Does anyone have any tips on raising it to be a good, healthy dog? Also, does anyone have any good name ideas for her?
Answer
I have two miniature schnauzers and they are the best dog in the entire world IMO. I love them so much and they are so neat and clean and loyal!
here are my tips:
1) Make sure your mini has a VariKennel. They love their little crates. CRATE TRAINING IS THE BEST METHOD! Do not go there with the newspaper training! I had my first mini housebroken in one week and my second one it took about three weeks.
2)Enroll your mini in obedience classes now! They need to be properly socialized. Minis should never be aggressive or timid.
3) Do not buy low quality brand pet food. Try Eagle Pack Holistic or Purina Pro Plan or Solid Gold.
4) Minis seem to love plush stuffed toys.
5) Routine, routine routine!
6) Pick a groomer that knows how to properly groom a mini. Its easy to go to a Pet Smart location, but often they are not trained to groom a mini the way they should be. Your breeder will tell you who she recommends for grooming.
7) Go to www.simplyschnauzer.net for an amazing forum for everything schnauzer!
8) I would call her Bella, Eva, Hannah, Angel or Glory
