Sweet Pea just farted in my face. nasty

We adopted a “mutt” puppy from our local shelter, and to our surprise, the vet said he had a lot of Great Dane! It’s been a learning experience, but he’s such a joy. This video was a great help!

Loves to shake 🎉

Loves toilet water & sitting on the stairs looking out the front door. 😊

I’ve on #5 Great Dane and absolutely 100% right on. We recently moved. Everybody knows Finley’s name - nobody knows mine! 🤣

We live on the rainy Oregon Coast and NO my boy has not gotten used to it. It totally cracks me up when he signals he wants to go out, I open the door, he looks out and essentially says: “Nevermind…” and turns away from the door. I always tell him what my mother always told me: “You’re not so sweet that you’ll melt.” 🤣

They are soo trainable and obedient. Ours used to carry their own leashes wher walking at the heel. Huh, slobber luckily our pair didn't. But.... we had a Mini and we learned not to leave the car's window open. Magnum generally missed the wheel and peeed on driver's seat😂 That and when he was a youngster, we put him in the garage aand he got bored and chewed up the car's wing mirror.

My silver lab has happy tail and it’s the biggest pain ever. Feel hopeless with at this point. We had it fully healed took weeks and then a few weeks later he broke it open again :/

For me it’s my arm and my damn fingers. It’s a pain in the butt and I think it’s also because he doesn’t get out much. It’s not my dog but my mother’s and yet I’m the one who’s always having to babysit him because she’s never home and when she does get home, she’s z too exhausted to play or spend time with him.

I want one or a Greater Swiss Mountain Dog

We have three great danes and they will all play with their pigs for hours! They love these things!!!

How about the puppy food are I should say dog food for extra large dogs play high-end Victor's puppy food large breed

They're called GREAT for many reasons. Have owned many breeds but Danes are by far my one and only choice

I have rescued English mastiffs and with the ones that have "happy tail", Ive invested in pool noodles that I cut to fit and it has saved my legs from years of bruises, lol

I bought several dog beds. Finally I built my own. A tight nit rug bolted between two deck boards around the edges. Stuffed underneath with foam. It’s heavy because of the double stacked deck boards; so he can’t lift it

The furniture thing is real! I had a velvet couch and finally started putting a couch cover on it but Mr. Darcy also loved velvet and any time I left he’d pull the cover off so he could lay on the velvet lol!

This *dog* looks more like my cat. How old is it?

We recently adopted a rescue puppy (told he was around 9 months) that they thought he was a lab/shepherd mix. He kept growing so we did an embark test. He’s Great Dane/Great Pyrenees lol. He’s now estimated ~11 months old and weighs 80 lbs

Also our God Door is teh best tool!

yes and consistency is a key tool too. We always said "Be right back" whether it was a trial drive away or to go see a movie and when we returned we consciously tried not to have any bigger "reunion actions" than if we just woke up. Read "Gina Goes to Galveston..." and see when she played with "Mr TP" one day! Cheers, Doc Willis

Thanks for the great analysis and help!

My wife and I are going to be first time Dane parents next weekend. We're so excited! We are getting 2, and they're brothers!

How often do you do these things? Our current 0pup is 10 1/2 weeks old. Thanks! 👍🏻😊

Ace, our Dane, gets these terrible bumps under his chin. The vet has given us antibiotics for it…..🙏🏼❤️

Our porch is quite narrow and our absolute goob wagged his tail so hard he burst the tip. Nothing more serious than a scab to heal but we had to go in the back door for about a week to let it heal and now we grab and hold his tail when we get home as we rush him into a bigger room. And the rain aversion is just the funniest. My partner usually takes him out during the day to pee because she's WFH and I'm inconsistent WFH so I think he just got used to her as the day schedule. He usually alternates between our makeshift offices throughout the day, but when its raining he'll spend the whole day in my office trying to hide from her taking him out haha.

Gus certainly looks lazy. sorry Gus :)

I fostered a female Great Dane 118 pounds for two years. I would get down on my knees wearing leather gloves and we would play fight. I would try to grab both ears and she would try to bite the gloves. The bites did not hurt but occasionally a paw strike would nearly rake my face. She love doing this. I would also spank the booty making a loud but harmless noise. Often the play fight would end up on a futon where we would lay side ways and also play fight. We establishes a protocol where either one of us could initiate the contest. Never got hurt but I occasionally had to apologize if an ear grab caused hurt. I had to rehome her to a family with Male Great Dane looking for a friend when she got too strong for me to control in public when encountering other Dogs. The rehome should resolve her Dog socialization issue.

Oh, wow! I'm that crazy Great Dane lady that always stops to talk to any Great Dane and their person! Was privileged to have six Great Danes in my life over a period of 25 years in South Africa. Heartsore that I'm currently not able to have another one. To add to your list, a Great Dane's head lines up beautifully with the top of your kitchen units .... beware when unpacking your groceries, or preparing dinner!

We need HELP. We have four dogs, we brought two siblings into our house a year ago. One of them has a “reactive personality.” Meaning that, he will react in a bad way to anything going on around him that causes disruption with our dogs. If anyone has any suggestions on how we can stop this. We would be grateful. We can’t even have guests come to our home without them being put in the crate. I thought about the shock collar with the remote control to try to stop them, especially our reactive dog, Jack… But, I don’t want to do anything to them that might make things worse. I appreciate anyone’s help here that might be able to help me. We absolutely don’t want to lose any of these dogs because of their going crazy when the doorbell rings or someone knocks at the door. We’re trying to calm him down. We’ve tried treats, it’s literally a scrum at the door of all of them barking going crazy. I can’t get to any of their attention. . Any suggestions my dog loving friends? These are terrific pups. They love us so much… But they are so different when someone else comes to our house. Thanks for reading and if anyone has any suggestions, thank you for your help. We have considered “doggy Boot Camp” right now, my brother is dying from cancer and is on hospice care. He also has dementia. I’m trying to take care of him and the dogs and now my injured wife as well. Thanks for reading this very long post. I’m sorry for being so long.

I've just started (day 4) keeping dogs; brother-in-law donated 1 male German shepherd and a 1 year old male dane; first I thought the dane was a 2 or 3 year old for its size; the dane had been mishandled prior to joining us - starved quite a bit; he guzzles his food like nothing I've seen; thanks to you, I just learned they're great drinkers. I'm getting to love this animal, quite social - I thought it had some mental issue being quite restless wanting to jump/hug everyone in its way; I called the vet in, it just turned out it's just its character. And yes, now I realize he loves to talk. Paul - UG

How many hours does the Great Dane need to train per day ?

We have a Great Dane and since we have a Great Dane the grass in the backyard disappear artificial grass is expensive what other options are there that can be cheap

They take humongous dumps

Best video instructions ever !

i work at a dog daycare and one dane we have has a black and white coat and he likes to grumble at us through the fences, however I like to say he's mooing at us like a big cow dog lol

I like how you start off with farting. Our 6 month old stinks. He def has gas issues and he burps a lot.

I was 11 or 12 when we got our first Dane. We were a house of five boys, so there was no shortage of brotherly violence. Our Dane HATED it. He was this big brindle referee that growled and talked disapprovingly and physically got between us when he felt things had escalated too far. He was an absolutely fantastic dog; made it past his 13th birthday.

Omg this is soooo true i have a 7 month old great dane and she loves to talk/howl, she was kindof scared of the dark but shes not any more, (not sure if you will se this but ya) My pup is named Opal and shes a harlequin( spotted black and white colored)

Best dogs ever!❤

Dogs follow their owners because you’re at your most vulnerable state for predators or attackers

So dogs watch us going to the bathroom is a protective action. Dogs are quite vulnerable in the wild when reliving themselves. They will always go with a pack mate to act as a look out. It's actually a loving and protective thing when our dogs follow us to the bathroom.

Thank you! Our newly adopted great dane/retreiver mix, Karl, came up with a case of HTS just this week. This worked perfectly until we can get to the vet. I happened to have all the materials right on hand.

Aww, the water, Stro drinks from the pool.

she is called Gus??

The correct term is Deutsche Dogge . it is a german breed not a Danish breed . i had three over a period of twenty years but the last one broke my heart so severely when he died, i said never again . i was messed up for two years after that . i took him everywhere with me . i took out the passenger seat in my pickup and put a mattress on the floor . he would ride standing g up with his head and chest out the window . this scared the crp out of other drivers when they looked to the left at a stop light and saw this monster our creature staring at them .lots of screeching and " hey you've got a horse in your car " comments which became very annoying after a time . anyway don't get one if your an emotional person .

Gus is female? Augusta?

I just got a 10 month baby girl. She loves to dig up the yard!
