I just want to Point out that Schnauzers are great dogs, low dander, very energetic (but not overly so) and with a little training can be a kids best friend.
Just 3 things
Brush them, its good for them, its a bonding thing, and it keeps grooming costs low. I suggest you Brush them somewhere other than your lap/the floor/couch, put them on a work bench or washer/dryer and keep taking them back to that spot for brushing.

brush their teeth, for 10 dollars you can get a reusable dog toothbrush and paste at Petsmart. One Tube should last 6 months. You can Brush their teeth everyday, its good for them. Also it makes their breath smell better, bad breath is not normal for dogs

Clean their ears cut their nails., Schnauzers get excess hair in their ears and yeah, it needs to be pulled now and then, you can do it yourself or go to a vet/groomer to do so. You can cut their nails yourself (its not that hard) or you can even dremel the nail smooth, once again this can also be done at the vet or a groomer.

Keep up the good work Mr. Cotton.
