mini dogs
I have never had mini dogs until now. I'm usually a big dog owner, GreyHounds, Newfoundlands. I was wondering if there are any major differences in training a mini vs a maxi?

I have 2 small breed dogs, I really don't see any difference from having any other medium/big dog, except you have to make sure not to step on them
They are very cuddly, all dogs are, but small dogs really like to be on your lap a lot, I have noticed they also have more sensitive stomachs but it also depends on the breed... what breed is your dog? and how small is he/she going to be fully grown? As far as I have read and been told any dog that is under 5 lbs could mean a few health problems in the future. As for training, there is really no difference, but remember that even once fully trained, they cannot hold it as much as a bigger dog would.

Ha Ha, don't step on them..........They are definately on your furniture more, they are pickier eaters sometimes. Little longer in potty training I find. Much easier to cart around in your car!!!! I've always had big dogs, like dobies, boxers, mastiff, retrievers etc....I can say I like the little ones, I don't think I would have a toy breed though, afraid to hurt it....

Thank you for your responses. The two I have are miniature schnauzers. The, not stepping on, has been priority. Lol They are crate trained and can "hold" it for eight hours a night. Pretty good for one month old.

hi
I've had small dogs and big dogs. When talking about training, I think it is the same way. It depends on the breed, some are calm and others are hyper. The hyper ones I find are harder to train.
