I would take your Schz. to a professional Groomer. I am a 3rd generation groomer and I cannot groom my own dog she acts so badly. I have the other groomers groom her. Pets will always act worse for their own owners. Also Brushing her daily, and giving a treat afterwards will enforce her to act better for each brushing and leading up to the grooming. Schz. should be groomed every 4-6 weeks. If she has certain spots she is sensitive to, then work on those spots. For example she is afraid of clippers. Get a pair and turn it on just let it virate on her face, neck toes, etc. all the while reenforcing that she is being a good girl. Girl her lost of praise and treats afterwards. This will help her and the grooming process become less tiresome.

Some diogs hate to be groomed. Doesn't matter who does the grooming, how often they are groomed or how young they are when you start grooming them. Some never get over this intense dislike. And no matter how many restraints are used, it is difficult and can be dangerous for the groomer and the dog.

You can try to take him to a dog groomer. Please tell them that he bites.

Or, better idea, find a vet that grooms dogs. He/she will sedate your dog and he can be properly groomed. And no matter what anyone says, this is the safest for the dog.

Brush him on a regular basis to get him use to that type of attention; use snacks, like in training. If nothing works, let a professional do it. I have a malamute who would not let a groomer touch him. I found someone recommended by my vet. It worked.

I take my Yorkie to a groomer. They have the equipment to hold them still and muzzles they can put on. Schnauzers look so cute when groomed! In fact, my Yorkie has a Schnauzer cut.

Proffesional groomer is a better option, if he's still resistance towards grooming. He may have a phobia in cutting nails as you may have hurt him before, and he will remember it for life.

Does he have a favorite toy? If not, find him something to play with, or even a bone. Get him used to all the supplies by playing with him. Take him into the bathroom and play with him, then eventually the bath tub. Keep taking steps like turning on the water, or brushing him. Always treat him after a bath. I always give my dogs a mix of peanut butter, dog food, and treats. Even treat them while taking the bath with little bits of food at a time, or just give it to him all at once to keep him busy.

My dog hates it when I attempt to groom her. Get him a muzzle that fits, that way, he can't bite you. when you get it for him, let him smell it, put it on him for about 5mins,remove it and praise him. Continue doing but always up the time. 1st time 5mins, 2nd time 15mins, etc. My dog still doesn't like the muzzle BUT i don't get bitten and I'm not as afraid.

if you go to a groomer try taking him to a different one, could be somethin going on there, if you do him, take him to a groomer, its different when someone other than mommy or daddy does it, most dogs are better. and don't stay for the grooming session, it makes the groomer feel like they have to rush so the dog gets stressed out and he's more likely to act up if your there and he thinks you might save him

a schnauzer should be taken to a groomer they have a special cut that brings out the look on a schnauzer and groomers have special harness and equipment to help groom them, I am lucky i learned how to groom my schnauzer but i did learn that he would rather be groomed outside on his table than inside don't know why but he is more comfortable.

My Miniature Schnauzer didn't like it at first either so we paid a groomer to come to our house. He was more comfortable being groomed at my house.
