Miniature Pinscher dogs are a great addition to your family if you are looking for an energetic but cuddly dog. They are very smart, energetic, and eager to please their owner. They can be a handful, though, if you do not take the time to train them properly. Once they are trained, you will have a friend for life. They are one of my favorite breeds.

If they are allowed to they will try to take over the house. This is why you need to establish yourself as the dominant one without making them scared of you. If they are scared of you they will not be as great a companion as you would like. This applies to any dog. Any dog will get to the level you train them to.

Miniature pinscher dogs are able to learn any trick or command you would like them to. If you want to teach them to lay down or rollover, that will be no problem as long as you are patient and use the proper methods. When training a dog be sure to use positive reinforcement. Using punishment methods to train them will result in the dogs being scared of you and not performing the way you would like for them to perform.

If you are looking to add a dog to your family then think about it very carefully. Think of exactly every characteristic you are looking for and make sure the dog you get fits into that category. If you are looking for high energy, smart, funny, and loyal then the miniature pinscher dogs might just be perfect for you.
