​QUESTIONS:  Please contact the applicable walk host for any questions. 


We prefer to walk our miniature schnauzers off leash. You can still join us if you prefer to keep your miniature schnauzers on leash.  

​ALL miniature schnauzers who come on the walk MUST have a collar with a disc with the owners contact number on it in case they get lost or separated from the owner. Please also bring a leash just in case you need it. We also recommend that you put something on your schnauzers collar that will help identify them, like a ribbon of a certain colour. It is sometimes craziness and you just want to make it a little bit easier to recognise your dog in a beautiful pack of happy miniature ​schnauzers! 

Please bring water for your schnauzers. 


​​​Don't be shy. Come along!  We're friendly! 

​​​Can’t wait to meet all the schnauzerholics and miniature schnauzers who are able to join us! ​

PS: ​One small breed STERILIZED socialized non schnauzer dog sibling is welcome,  if you really can't leave them at home. They must love schnauzers! PS: You may be asked to leave if they are not fitting into the schnauzer pack. ​​
