Training Giant Schnauzers - The $37,000 Guard Dogs | BIG DOGZ 

Currently watching this while my small schnoodle (schnauzer/poodle) rolls around attacking her bed very menacingly

For 37 grand that dog better be able to bring me back to life if I died.

such a underrated dog breed always goes under the radar

Between my parents and myself I've had 5 giants. I've gotta say, that dog in the video nails the type, super engaged, annoyingly energetic and VERY GOOD BOYS. One thing I'll say for anyone looking at them is that while ours have always been 100% with family and in public places (off leash big crowds in NYC even), I don't let not-family play rough with kids near them and they absolutely will respond to perceived aggression. You need to show them things like people hitting punching bags or skateboards jumping in a planned way and in advance if you plan to bring them around that kind of thing in the future. They are cattle driver/guard dogs at heart as well, so they'll enforce "simon says" rules on anyone they can if you don't establish boundaries, and even if you do, that might happen if you leave the room and they aren't trust level 100 with the person. These aren't unique GS traits or anything, but that breed seems to have a very very high chance of that personality showing up.

There’s one at the dog park I go to and and it’s an absolutely amazing dog, very smart. It pretty much referees all the playing and when a dog gets too rough it will push it out of the pack that are playing and hold it off. My puppy was being attacked by this small dog constantly and it just came over and pushed it away from my puppy. And it just held it at bay for a while until it calmed down, I was very amazed so I’m looking these dogs up.

I'm sitting here with my giant. She is aggressively asking for belly rubs

Lol $37K I got both of mine for $1K each and they’re on guard at all times. Had a man break into my house and he was mauled by them both.

Giant Schnauzers are a very underrated guardian breed, don’t be fooled by their appearance. These dogs are fearless if they encounter a threat, and won’t hesitate to protect their owner if they have to.

My dad used to have 2 giant schnauzers but they died 8 years ago, now hes been thinking about getting another one. He says they are so calm, strong and friendly (if trained well) and theyre his favorite dogs. And so are they my favorite dogs. I still remember the male dog called Roni, it was so kind and friendly but very strong too ^^ i just love those dogs🥰🥰

They wouldn’t rob things at my house but to rob my dog lmao

The scariest dog I have ever met was a giant pepper & salt Schnauzer. He was so strong & he was absolutely ferocious.

My dad had 2 of them as a boy growing up on a farm during the Depression in Canada. The dogs were no nonsense and stakes were high as the family couldn't afford any theft. The dogs escorted visitors down the path to the front door. So long as the person stayed on the path, all was good. If not, not good.

Best dog ever, got my old female schnauzer from Silvia Hammerstroom in the US, she is so very much missed, best guard dog i have ever had❤️

We have a giant schnauzer, born and raised in the UK we paid £1000 😅 he’s the love of my life though, such clear natural instincts but an amazing love to have around ❤️

I been in love with this breed for a long time and have tried to find a working quality pup for just as long. The show breeders have ruined a lot of working dogs! I will continue my search for a working giant!

This breed is known for its ability to retain its training, so not surprisingly, this dog remembers everything it was taught even after a long break - this is typical of this breed.

Tbh if a theif tried to rob me I don’t think they’d even take anything just the dog

They’re lovely! Seem like a great all rounder, I’d love to have one as a farm dog who doubles as a shepherd and a guard dog.

I had a GS growing up as a kid. My Mum was a single Mum with 2 kids and she moved into a house right next to a pub, so I think she got the GS for a little extra protection and boy could she protect. Excellent guard dog, very powerful, strong and protective. We always felt safe even when we had drunks loitering around our front door knowing we had 100 pounds of dog ready if anyone overstepped the mark. She was an absolute sweetheart with me and my bro too. Il always remember when some kids who were bullying me followed me home after school one day and I ran in the house and got my dog out on the lead - they ran an absolute mile afterwards. I think having a GS put me on the road to always making sure I had dogs that were not only a loving part of the family but could protect me and my family if needed. I've moved onto having more powerful breeds - Great Dane and Mastiff/Staffie X but from purely a traditional guarding role the GS was probably the best dog I've had. Although my Mastiff/Staffie X is a lot more of an intuitive protector.

We have a 3 year-old 105 lb GS whom we absolutely love. Gentle soul, great with everything - including being an alert guardian. Took a photo of him running in a snow storm directly at me. He looks like a bonafide hell hound; a real mythical beast of terror. In a typical photo he looks like a big happy teddy bear. People routinely back off the front step when ringing the door bell lol. Such a beautiful majestic boy.

$37,000 for a dog? He better be able to cook, clean, do housework and babysit for that kind of $$.

I had a giant he went on approx 60 to 70 film and tv productions with me a fantastic dog that was fine with every one, would bark and would chase someone on command.He was in a couple of films and had post a on East Midlands Media's website posted by a location manager i did a lot of work for when he died at 11 years old. Still sadly missed they are a fantastic breed.

Met one at a park in SF. Such a solid build

I'm looking at my miniature schnauzer like I might have made a mistake. Lol.

Never had a giant (yet), but my mini had insane protective instincts. It could be trouble at times because he was reactive, but I knew that dog had my back.

We live in Kingsport TN and we have a breeder here that breedes giant schnauzers and they are alot cheaper than $30,000 and they are wonderful dog's and beautiful great temperaments too! Myself I have 2 miniature schnauzers and they are wonderful dog's! Tanya

I have a miniature salt and pepper version and he is great at learning tricks he’s easy to train very energetic and loves cuddles!!

Any cheaper... and this dog would be perfect for a grey man.

Great to see the dog in its natural form NOT cropped. Looks better well trained by these guys too self luv it.

Never knew Stannis Baratheon was a dog person

I’ve got a giant schnauzer her names cowgirl. She is 11 years old and a retired show dog that I adopted like 4 years ago. She’s the best dog I’ve ever owned and I didn’t even have to pay 37,000 to get a good guard dog. She respects and listens very well. And she would protect me and my family no matter anything.

I love these dogs. My Giant Schnauzer, Uma, is one of the best dog's I've ever owned. She is a retired show dog, and now she's our family dog. She's so loving, caring, and protective.

“Not easy to train”😂

Loved the video...i have mini schnauzers,amazing breed..they are like little mini ninjas..😆

Here in the UK giant schnauzers only 900-2000 from what I've seen

In the 1990 i payed my Giant 800 DM (Deutche mark)!!And he was a beast,beautifool beast!Lived till 1999.My brother Brutto!!

the black cane corso at the beginning 😻

i don’t agree that they’re hard to train, i’ve had schnauzers all my life and they were the easiest to train out of all the breeds i’ve owned

I love my Giant Schnauzer Tango he is perfect.

Ha ha I have two. My oldest is 3 years old and plays tether ball by himself at a 120 pounds its a sight to see

I was wondering how hard G.Schnauzer bite? On some websites u can find Numbers between 530-560 psi, do you have any informations about that?

My husband is allergic to dander so my Son purchased a Giant Schnauzer. He is the most loving dog I have ever known.

I have a mini and he is amazing ! He was by far the easiest dog Ive trained ,I also have a Rottweiler and man he is just so stubborn 🤦‍♀️

30k he better be as sharp as the matrix:))

the first time is saw a schnauzers and i was taken back... it was huge and black like midnight! the owner looked so amazing with him lol i fell in love with the breed ever since.

i guess we'll be seeing these in the next john wick!!!

They are absolutely beautiful yet terrifying dogs, like the guy said, a wolf in sheep's clothing. I would love to have one for myself as a companion and as security. But they are so expensive and hard to train, I don't have the money or time to get a dog like this. Maybe when I'm older and have some actual money and time, hell yeah I'm getting me one of them Giant Schnauzer.

We got one of these 4 legged wonders when I was still a child, apparently the owner wanted to use him as a herding dog but he was too big and strong so he gave him away to us. It is Hungary we are talking about and the guy kinda looked at him like a big Puli (usually mop-looking herding dog here) and he did look the part. From 2 meters he looked like a puli from about 1 meter :) The thing is he was completely trained, no idea how the original owner pulled it off but he was a gentleman, even showing his neck when it was time to leash him etc. He was on a imd-long chain because we had no fences at the time but it was more like he let us keep him on chain. He got agitated like... 3 times in his life? 2 out of 3 he was on the end of the chain and he snapped it without as much as slowing down :) We were under no illusion, thick chains meant nothing to him but he only ever released himself those times. He was/is family and I still tear up thinking he is no longer with us. I remember him pulling me on a sleigh :) Well, a grown man could ride such a big boy so yea... I do remember him actually dragging our car without much effort. Damn I miss you.

"snauser" .. it's a SCHnauZer. Schnauze is German for snout, pronounce it "s(h)nout-ser" so you kind of get the hard Z.

its funny seeing these giant schnauzers vs the ones at my job who all cry when our chihuahuas or bichons come near them😭

I noticed that the “Fine Line Family K-9” dogs are much better protection dogs. In my opinion (no hate). I saw that FLFK-9 could turn on and off the dogs immediately. Their dogs could also “gauged” and stay by their side without being forced/pulled and in this video the dog was being pulled back/held back or else it would attack. FLFK-9 had a different word to tell them to attack. That’s just something I noticed and wanted to share. I guess that’s the difference money buys. 🤷🏼‍♀️

My daughters & I really want a multi purpose large dog breed but my wife is extremely allergic to fur. We are happy We found the giant schnauzer.

Nice vid. Plus it's good to see the dog still has its ears and tail

I'm telling you now when one of these come at you no dog compares in terms of aggression

I have a standard schnauzer. If he meets you he will initially try 'High Energy Bounce Attack of Friendship!!! But afterwards he can be pretty laid back.

That dog is simply excellent.

I like the fact that they use halters and not collars in training. Collars can cause alot of damage to the dogs throat and neck. 💙

So annoying to see people commenting about the price and clearly not knowing the amount of training and time it takes to get an actual work standard dog that you can use in police or security work. Working line GS are very hard to train compared to GSD or Malinois. That is the reason why GS is not so popular among officers now days. Intensity and guard instincts are much stronger towards territory on this breed than on shepherd breeds which causes the difficulty of training the dog to know it's boundaries. It will protect very well, but it takes long to train for it to know when to protect as it is quite trigger happy to tell others that the street you walk is your turf. And yes, this ability does not exist nearly as much on show or pet bloodlines. My working line dog from a long lineage of police, security and army job cost only 1-2k as a puppy, but if I were to turn the training years to regular day jobs hourly pay, it would sum up to a quite a lot.

Do one episode tlaking about the boxer Love this videos thnak you guys are the best

I had two "Riesenschnautzer". The best ever and very loyal.

they don't look (or sound) docile when they are in "protection mode", i.e. if/when they think someone or something has intruded into "their area". Unlike many in the mastiff family - they REALLY bark.

I have 2 giant schanauzer right now (un total i had 3 but onde died of old age). It is true they require a lot ir training mostly because they are really protective but it si really worth it. Best dogs un my opinión.

At that price the guard dog will end up getting stolen lol! 🤣🤣🤣

I’ve always wanted one

“ It’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing that’s what it is “ 🐺

good thing about schnauzers is there isn't a widespread issue for renters and property insurance like other breeds.

he is a powerful dog

We have a 3 yr old giant. Fabulous dog, extremely good guard dog. You would NOT come in the garden!! Needs loads of exercise and attention. Do not confuse the giant with smaller schnauzers, they are NOT the same. We had a mini before. So be warned. Love ours to bits tho. In fact he's sat by me as I type this

I haven't trained my Bouvier to be a Schutzhund - but she is so damn good. She is a total natural - no one allowed near me if she finds them suspicious.

I 2/8 giant schnauzer 5/8doberman 1/8 german wirehairred pointer. He is a lovely intelligent and playful dog.

Giant Schnauzers are the best!

Im not a trainer or something but i trained my giant shnauzer by myself and a lot of trainers are impressed. He nows every basic command knows how to attack on command and he is trained to find things by sniffing.

More of these please these are so fun to watch

37k lol they go for $4000 with full registration in the US. Still hard to find, there's only a few people in the whole country who breed giant schnauzers.

For that price, it shoupd come w a suv

If you're paying almost 40k for a giant schnauzer, then you need up go see a doctor. 5k at most from specialised breeders...

Is this video set in Hull? I’m right in saying that’s the Humber bridge right?

I recently got 2 giant schnauzers and they are 5 months close to 6 and me and my family love them .. we also have 2 mini schnauzer and a great mastiff and they love them .. they are smart dogs but a little stubborn 😂

I like your Videos and your Work with the Dogs !In my Opinion the best Dogs on this Planet for protection work are Malinois, Dutch Shepherd, Deutscher Schäferhund, Riesenschnauzer, Rottweiler and Dobermann! But the Dogs must come from working lines KNPV , Ringsports and IPO/IGP and not from Showline! The Workingline have much more drive and will to Work than showline dogs and mostly the workingline Dogs are healthier!

I like the Russian Black Terrier...because it can be mistaken for a public friendly schnauzer

best dog protection mastiff cané corso Italian. over the top dogs 🐕👍

Is Fraser a German Shepherd or Belgian Malinois? His coat looks like a German Shepherd but has the color and intensity of a Belgian Malinois. Beautiful dog either way.

Those dogs are really huge and athletic so what are they guarding you from?death itself?

They need to talk about the doberman

I just bought a bouvier des flandres for cayas home sports bouvier.

This one is tiny mine is Huge and he scares everyone

I wish they weren't so hard to come by in the US

Imagine wasting 37 grand on a dog but noone ever robs you

also they are much faster than any of the mastiffs, not quite as fast as a Doberman, but they are fast. You can also see in the tape here, they have a strong instinct to jump up and get right in your face - which has to be kept in check. People say their bite is extra strong (and it is a strong bite) because the bone protrusion on the top of their skull functions as a sort of "anchor" for the muscles and tendons that generate their bite - in effect creating a skull geometry as though their heads were a good bit larger. However, they are stubborn, and do not train like Dobermans or German Shepherds. Amazing dogs, but they are real guard dogs - not your average family pet.

For 37 thousand you should at least be able to pronounce the name of the breed correctly.

Love our giant.

I had a giant for 15 years. Best dog I ever own. We had a dog kennel growing up. Have had and worked with many dogs but that dog was in tune with me. I still miss her. Never worried about a break in thats for sure

Another beautiful Schnauzer Chesnot!! @

I've had 2 miniature schnauzers and they behave like this! They are very brave dogs and also super tender with the family, better than my yorkie in this question. The only downside is that they are very suspicious with strangers, even more with children. They are reactive as @edward grady said when they perceive any aggression or abrupt movement. Also bark a lot and in many differnt voices hehe

I'll let everyone here in on a little secret, the Giant schnauzer doesn't need professional training. try and mess with someone who has a giant and see what happens. won't end well. 37,000k is a joke. proper exercise and socialization will keep him in shape and stimulated he is a one family dog.

and he's so cute.

Nice work

Have you done any work with the Russia terrier

Such a great dog

This thing better drive me to work for 37k.
