Books on Miniature Schnauzers, Obedience and Training

•   Miniature Schnauzers Today Peter Newman Howell Book House, 1997 From the book cover:  In this highly comprehensive Book of the Breed, the author draws on extensive research to trace the origins of the breed and its development. Advice is given on choosing a puppy, diet, exercise, and health care. The Breed Standard is analysed in detail, and a training programme for the show dog and the companio dog is outlined. Most important of all, there is extensive coverage of grooming, clipping, and stripping, with tips on how to prepare the Miniature Schnauzer for the show ring.

•   The Dog's Mind, Understanding Your Dog's Behavior Bruce Fogle, D.M.V., M.R.C.V.S. Howell Book House, 1990 From the book cover:  How do dogs perceive the world about them? How do they see, hear, learn, relate to their owners? How large are their brains, what is their emotional makeup? Why do they suffer from stress and how can it be coped with? Over the last few years a substantial body of knowledge has been built up about the psychology of dog behavior. Combining more than twenty years of practical experience as a veterinary clinician with a personal knowledge and understanding of the latest international research, Dr. Bruce Fogle has written the most inclusive and relevant book on how the canine mind works.

•   The Intelligence of Dogs, A Guide to the Thoughts, Emotions, and Inner Lives of Our Canine Companions Stanley Coren Bantam, 1995 From the author's website:  This book contains a fascinating description of how dogs think, their mental abilities, and the various types of dog intelligence. Perhaps one of its most controversial, but intriguing, findings, was that there are systematic and regular differences among the dog breeds in their working and obedience intelligence. These findings, and the list ranking the relative intelligence of dog breeds, became front page news in many newspapers around the world.
