mini shnauzer?

Question

I have a mini shnauzer, she is 15 weeks old she is very smart and does some tricks and she will listen to alot of commands.
But my question is how do I get her to come to me out side ? She will come in side, she knows what come means. But she will run off almost everytime I let her go out side.

Answer 1

There was a similar question just asked. Here is my post:

"To start, work indoors where there are little distractions. Call him to you in a fun, upbeat voice. When he comes to you, pile on the rewards: treats, praise, petting. Do this over and over. When he is coming to you immediately and happily when called, you may start to practice outdoors. At first do so when things are quiet, then gradually around more distractions. When he is doing well on a six-foot leash, switch to a 15- or 20-foot leash. Don't give him the entire length yet, though. Let him get eight feet away, then work at 10 or 12 feet, etc.

Never, ever call him to you if the consequences are going to be unpleasant. Keep in mind, "unpleasant" is in the eye of the beholder. If he wants to stay outside and he is taken in immediately after coming to you, after a few repetitions he won't come when called. Instead, call him to you, play with him for a minute or let him sniff nearby for 30 seconds, then take him in."

The outdoors is far more interesting to your pup than indoors. Use a leash at all times outside until she is trained (she should still always be leashed if she is not in a confined area). Use better rewards for coming to you outdoors: hot dogs, cheese, chicken, etc., instead of a dog biscuit.

Part of having a well-trained dog is having the dog listen to commands regardless of distractions. This is something you'll simply have to work on. If you have a fenced area that is safe to having her off-lead, use it. Try a Flexi-Lead if you don't have a closed off outdoor area. Leave her some slack on the lead and see what she does. Use training rewards to let her know what behavior you expect. For some (probably most, actually) dogs, food rewards are the best. You can use small treats, or even small pieces of turkey hotdog, which many trainers that I know use. Look into "clicker training". And I would most likely enroll yourself (and your dog, of course) in an obedience class.
www.bestfriendspetcare.com if there is a location near you, try them out. They tend to have smaller classes than the Petsomethings (which means more individual attention), have very reasonable prices, and all of their trainers are certified and exceptionally good ... plus, they guarantee successful results!
Good luck with the puppy!

You must make coming in rewarding,be happy,clap your hands open your arms and then when she comes treat her with a rub down and praise her ,maybe even give her a treat.You must let her know who the Boss is even if you have to chase her At first.Practice with a long lead at first.Reward s for "come" behavior over and over and over.Good luck!!!!!

I had Schnauzers and they are wonderful dogs very smart. For mine I would just keep them on leash outside and when walking would stop call them to me when they came would tell them how smart good dog took only a few times and they came running when ever I would call them just for the praise, they love to please you.

Answer 5

it could be that she just dont want to go outside
