This is a baby. A baby takes a lot of work. It sounds like you are doing everything right, but you just need to give it time.
Of course you know to provide enough acceptable things for him to chew on. Other than that, just give it a few months and you'll be over the hump.
Is it too obvious to put a muzzle on the puppy when going outside ? If they can't get some thing into their mouth, they can't eat it, right ? Combine that with the verbal warnings.
I am a owner of white miniature schnauzer puppy that will be 3 months old on the Oct 30 I have tried every way to potty training and he is not even close to getting it he uses the bathroom where ever on the floor i have spanked him and scalded him when he does and i put him out side also I tried kennel training even got smaller kennel he still uses the bathroom in kennel I tried leash training also treat reward and always praise and excitement and remove food and water at 7 pm .I have a 3yr old schnauzer that we really didn't have many problems house training .Please need advice with this puppy in potty training .I was told schnauzer's that are white have a gene disorder that that's what's wrong with him is this true .

Please STOP hitting and yelling at him. It doesn't help and it makes things worse. He doesn't understand what you want him to do. It's not realistic to expect a 3 month old puppy to be completely potty trained. Some dogs just take longer than others. If he's going to the bathroom in the kennel you're leaving him in there too long. You need to get on a schedule and stick to it. Go outside with him when he's outside and stay out there until he goes. You are going to have to start all over again because he's confused. It will take time. I don't think it has anything to do with him being white.
Do a search on this forum for potty training there are several threads with very good information.
Agreed. Please don't hit the pup. That will only scare him and make him afraid of you. Things will go downhill from there. Hire a trainer if you need to, and/or read some books to save you and pup from further transgresses.
It's a baby. Think of your situation like that.
Please don't yell at it, also very scary to a puppy.

I have a pup of 3 months... he sniffs everywhere and tries to eat whatever is out there... I keep saying no! and pull him back with the leash. What else can I do to keep him from doing this? Will he grow out of it?
I can't help but I hope you can work it out. My cousin had a corgi who ate EVERYTHING including landscape bark. I can't remember now many times he ended up in the hospital. Best wishes!

Yes he will. He's exploring the entire world with his mouth and nose. It is natural and not everything is dangerous. You can carry distractions with you...pocket treats, small squeaky toy or clicker to interrupt the behavior. Get his attention, then reward your pup for paying attention to YOU instead of whatever the fascinating gross object happens to be.
Sounds like a normal puppy. Our trainer taught us to do "Leave It" for that kind of behavior. We firmly say "Leave It" and sorta snap the leash (gently!). It's a reminder similar to when a momma pup would nip their pup's neck. Works like a charm for us! We don't even have to do the leash thing anymore, just say leave it.
^ What he said!
