I’ve been a Schnauzer owner for over 30 years, but Zophie is my first agility Schnauzer. We joined the trainings just to spend some quality time together and were hooked immediately – definitely because of Marusa who has made us do things I never would have imagined (for instance waking up in the middle of the night to drive to an agility competition :)). She is patient with beginners (both human and canine), knows when to push and when to stop us, great with explaining dogs’ psychology and behaviour, and most importantly, understands the Schnauzer mindset. Which can be a challenge. Agility is now more than a hobby to us – it’s a learning journey, rewarded by better understanding of my dog, myself, us as a team. And sometimes even with a medal. 🙂
