About Jagger

What can I say about Jagger? He is an indoor dog. He is a very very loving dog. He wants attention. He is not your typical Giant Schnauzer. He is very adaptable. If you want to sit and watch tv he is happy being in the same room as you and he will lay down. He wants to lay on a blanket on the floor or if he is invited on the couch he will like to sit on the couch too. If you want to get up and run he is right there with you. He barks some when people come to the door. He wants to see who is at the door. He is not a constant barker. He is alert when he hears something. He likes to look out the window a little but rather be watching his humans. He is very very head strong. The person who adopts him MUST be the boss. He will test to see what he can get away with. Do not give him an inch or he will take ten thousand miles. He is not one that you can let him get his way and do whatever he wants or you will lose control over him and neither of you will be happy. When he goes to get groomed I have to tell the groomer to be firm and make him do what you want. At a new groomer they were not firm with him and when I got him back he was out of sorts and it took me awhile to gain alfa. Once I did we were fine again. He is leash trained and will walk next to you without pulling ( as long as you show him you are the boss and not let him pull ) on the leash and when you stop he will sit. He loves to go for walks. When I eat he knows to not look at me. He knows sit...stay...wait....down....all those commands. If you put your hand in like a gun shape and point it at him and say bang he will fall to the floor and onto his back and wait until you say come alive. He is kennel trained. He sleeps in his kennel. It is hit or miss if he wants to sleep in the bedroom. He wants to eat and drink in his kennel. He wants the door shut and he waits until I said ok before he eats and drink. That is what he trained me. I think he rather sleep in his kennel because when we first got him we had him sleep in the kennel. We would treat him. He will go in the kennel and come half way out and wants kisses on his head and then he backs up and waits for a treat. He does not whine or scratch while in the kennel. At night he has a nice memory foam bed and when he eats I take it out. He also will stay with you when he is not on a leash show him the boundaries. He loves to play fetch. He loves sticks. If they are on the thinner side he will bite them in half and sometimes the stick will get stuck on the top of his mouth. He loves fetch balls too. He is on a water schedule. It does not matter how much water he has ( my son filled up a five gallon bucket for all the dogs and Jagger drank more than half of it and threw up and over and over and peed a lot ) he will drink it all. He will drink until he makes himself sick and throws up and then he pees in the house and his kennel. We figured out a schedule that works well. He does not throw up or pees. He gets three cups three times a day. He gets fed two and half cups of food twice a day. I feel he can not be overly spoiled by treats. Love to give him treats especially when he is being a good doggie. He goes out to the bathroom three times a day. If I see he is acting like he needs to go out I let him out. Mostly he holds it. He likes to lay outside when someone is outside working. If we go in the house he is right there next to us. He never left outside alone. I do keep a shock collar on him just because we are in town. We do have open lots behind us. He knows what it is and we do not need to use it. He has learned where he can be in the yard and he does not go out of there. He does go on outings and to stores and he loves looking around at everything. When I am looking at things he will sit and then will lay down and just wait. He loves car rides. He looks out sometimes but mostly he will lay down. He has a mini schnauzer brother who is 16. He is blind and deaf and needs more hands on. He has also been around cats. He wants to play with the cats. He is good with other dogs and cats....as long as they are good around dogs. The only reason why I am wanting to rehome him is because I lost my husband and my life is changing and I am not going to be able to give him the time and love he deserves. I do not think it would be fair for him just to come and lay in the living room. I am not going to be able to take him outside to run and play like I used to. I am not going to let him out by himself. He has been patient over a year doing nothing. I can see he is not as happy as he used to be and that just breaks my heart. I want him to be happy and be a dog with lots of love. He will come with everything that is his and there is a lot. He is current on shots and is micro chipped. If you have any questions let me know.
