Great Dane
Great Dane Training
Beginning training early is crucial for Great Danes. You’ll want to start training your Great Dane while they are still relatively small to avoid trying to manage an out-of-control dog that may weigh more than you do. The good news is that Great Danes are easy to train! Start off with basic commands such as “sit,” “stay,” “come,” and “heel.” Leash training will be very useful in helping walks with your young Great Dane go smoothly. Once your Great Dane masters the basics, you can start teaching more vocabulary—Great Danes are capable of learning many words! Because these dogs are people pleasers, be sure to reward good behavior with lots of praise and treats, and you’ll likely see great results.
Selecting a Great Dane Puppy
Great Dane Puppy Ears
Healthy puppies will have clean ears with no signs of discharge, redness, inflammation or pungent odour. If the puppy is aggressively scratching or pawing their ear, tilting their head or excessively flipping their head, it may also be a sign of discomfort. Breeds with floppy ears are more prone to infection or disease.
