There's a new human in the house

As Max's mommy, he continually surprises me on just what a great dog he is. We brought home a baby (human) girl a few weeks ago and Max is so great with her. It's so cute, every time she makes a noise or someone moves her, Max has to come sniff her to make sure she is okay. Max is also very gentle around her, and again we are so lucky to have found such a wonderful companion.
Opt to Adopt !!!!

Max trains his humans well.

So I noticed last weekend that Max has taught his 10 year old human brother ( best friend) to play fetch.
Max will sit on the couch or recliner with his feet and head at the very end. He'll be playing with one of his toys and then drop it. But when he drops it he looks at his human brother who will in turn pick up the toy and hand it back to Max. Max will play for a few more minutes and then he'll drop to toy to the floor again. And again when he drops the toy he looks at his human again, who again picks up the toy and hands it to Max.
Once I picked up on this, and pointed it out to everyone else, we all have got a good laugh out of it.
Also Max has his human mamma trained well also. I am pregnant so I sit in the recliner in the evenings with my feet up, and it doesn't matter where in the house Max is, as soon as he hears that recliner go up he runs and jumps in the recliner with me. He loves to cuddle, but once he's done with that he'll sit on the foot rest next to my feet.

3 months at new home

Well it's been 3 months since Max came to live with us. He came to us untrained, but still a very sweet dog. He has done really well about learning his commands, he "goes to bed" on command now, and understands the words no, down, sit and of coarse " wanna go outside".
He is a very loving schnauzer and fits in very well with us. He is just a happy healthy boy.
We are now working on the leash pulling, he may only be a 20lb schnauzer but he is a strong thing when that pray drive kicks in.
