I agree, my Giant Schnauzer follows me from room to room and will wait outside of the bathroom door for me! Also, if he sees a person outside in the back yard, he will bark his head off (as Schnauzer tend to do) and then place himself right next to me. I never taught him that! He just knows instinctively to protect his mom. Because we got him as a guard dog for me (my husband is in the military and is gone the majority of the year), I reinforce the behavior by petting him and saying "Good boy" and "It's ok" because I know he's doing his job. I feel so much safer living alone since I got my Max

Therapy SchnauzerNEW by: Linda and Max
Thank you for sharing that with us, Elizabeth.
There is no doubt that Schnauzers love us humans and make wonderful companion and therapy dogs.
Apparently the Border Collie is the most intelligent dog according to scientists.
Howwever, we're sure anyone who has ever owned a Schnauzer will agree that they are really tuned into their owners and families and can almost seem as though they know what we are thinking or how we are feeling (Max certainly does).
