“Oh and he’s loose...he’s loose” soooo funny! Thank you for sharing this!

[@Lacedwmemories]

Zoooooomies time! Lol Too adorable... until it's my dane chasing my neighbors chicken.

[@ryanlenz6805]

So glad it's not just our Dane that doesnt always listen and takes off to burn energy!

[@raddid7331]

Can we all just appreciate how amazing these two dogs are?! Magic for being so patient and not at all distracted whilst Finn keeps jumping around and inviting to play and Finn for being such adorable puppy who knows his commands and his fun!

[@thechoniclesofkratos]

I love this channel because I am a mix cane corso and great dane so I want to see how great Danes are

[@craig2795]

We used to have 2 Danes, Mo & Maxi. I remember well how hard the training was and the recall ‘oh the recall’. We actually have had an Irish Red Setter and he was extremely intelligent and clever, still hurting over his passing recently after 12.5 years so it’s still a bit early for us yet to have a new dog, but we know we can’t live without one or maybe a bit later 2 again. We have discussed getting Danes again, another Brindle and later maybe another Fawn so it’s a delight to see Magic and Finn. ❤

[@22TheJuggernaut]

I have a great dane and their commands take forrrever to finish. Iv never seen someone take so long to take a seat haha

[@suprenadickson4210]

The post is educational, and informative. Finn, displays such exuberance and good ole Magic waits patiently for what's next.

[@gpb29]

Not quite Top Gun...but, not Keystone Cops, either. Ahh, youthful exuberance. Finn's still got a lot of puppy in him. Magic's the patient old man. I dropped Lucy's leash yesterday and she took off around the yard in full zoomies. Sometimes you just have to wait it out. She tired in a few minutes, took a healthy poop and was ready for a nice walk. I love this breed!! Have a great day(n)!!

[@ssddpost]

Respect for being honest and realistic.

[@shantellpryor7596]

Lol 😂 he’s loose!! My dog loses his mind when he goes outside. He doesn’t hear not one command, not one..😭

[@HoniValeGreatDanes]

I bust a gut laughing when you called Finn Magic. I laughed even harder when Finn laid down and you were surprised he didn't run off. 😂😂😂😂 My life story 😂😂

[@utuberhoda]

Well now I know how to sit and stay!!!! All day on this sofa!

[@QisthinasDiary]

This made my day 💕💕 O my god I was so down today, you 3 made my day

[@jeannielogan2139]

This was the best. I love that dog. He is young but so good and smart. What a great personality he has. You are so lucky to have them. Keep up the good work.

[@sweetstephyd3]

Finally Ohio’s weather is starting to get a little warmer! Can’t wait to be able to get Harley out for more walks! :)

[@lindab3878]

Finn is such a goofball! Having one great dane would be hard but having two?? I'm amazed. Hope u and your family are staying safe!! 🐾

[@dinnerwithdarlene]

Finn listens so well, CLEARLY 🤣🤣🤣

[@MichaelCoburn]

Check today’s video at farmers market- Finn at the end is a different dog now!!!

[@flashg8062]

I appreciate this real life content it’s good they know the commands they’ll naturally get better with time

[@lorrik.7898]

AMAZING!! I'm learning so much from your videos. I'm looking forward to getting my great dane!! Hope you have a great dane too!!💞 Lol

[@paulaswann4851]

Informative video. Just love your atlectic Great Danes. thanks

[@thetruckersmanifesto3873]

It's like he's prospecting. In the summer n it's hot and leave the door open, he's looking at me like a steaks. Drooling. That look on his face.

[@bradbiles952]

Good job!! Dogs really don't want to be left out of activities but they did great. My two girl are from the same litter and that is a big challenge for me. It is really hard to just to walk one dog at a time for bonding time. Your dogs are so playful, I love it!

[@michellebouck5860]

Finn is hilarious. Love them both. I had to share with my other Great Dane peeps.

[@michellebouck5860]

There's always time for the zoomies. Such good boys.

[@AlyssaAnn0721]

Magic has such beautiful colors!!

[@marciaborg77]

Oh dad it takes time to sit down from the long and tall leg's we have. Love the video.

[@rioborzeli147]

WOW, great video, Funny , we just got our Brindle and Fawn Great Dane . The last danes we had we always used Haulty . Always worked great .

[@thetruckersmanifesto3873]

I had one when I was younger, totally different experience, I think it's his diet. Fish, guts stuff like that. Wild as a moose. Run a bear off. Energy like a monster.

[@paytonbuchholz1977]

I love your dogs

[@moonterriene5674]

J'aime vraiment votre façon d'éduquer vos 2 grands Danois !

[@amputationreboot9716]

Awesome that you continue the recording, my girl loves to zoomy like that too. How old is Finn in this video? At 10 months some times mine is a Dane dozer and a half! Thank you for the video!

[@Cindylew777]

I absolutely love those boys!!😘💜🐾

[@sandraroutos9343]

Fun video!

[@marypalmer2088]

Oh my goodness, I took Hazel out for a walk yesterday and she chocked herself the whole way! We didn't go far because she kept pulling to go back towards the house. I can hang onto her now, she's only 40 pounds but I need professionals! Great video and a lot of fun.......

[@janhankins911]

Please try a head halter (such as a Gentle Leader). Walks will be a whole lot more fun--not only for you, but for Hazel as well, as she won't keep choking herself the whole way. If someone tells you that a Gentle Leader is a really just a form of punishment, see here: drsophiayin.com/blog/entry/gentle-leader-head-collar-reinforcement-or-punishment (written by the late, great Dr. Sophia Yin--a veterinary behaviorist--a vet who specializes in behavior problems in dogs and cats). If you need to know how to get Hazel used to a Gentle Leader, watch this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6jEnKebp7Osi8k Good luck! And have fun.

[@thechoniclesofkratos]

Finn for the win 🤣🤣

[@natalie5882]

[@thetruckersmanifesto3873]

[@Theonestepguy]

Lovely name for the dogs 🐶

[@rakhshandafaisal1299]

I m’also having the same dog ( font one)

[@olivialang1178]

Could not believe how this dog jumped and knocked her down

[@Noodlemonkey7]

How did you train how to heal and stay?

[@MichaelCoburn]

Say their name give the command ...repeat

[@janhankins911]

I happened upon your videos and have enjoyed them a lot. You obviously love Finn and Magic and take wonderful care of them. But I notice you're still using very "old school" training methods. The "choke collar" is a punative method of training and is (I'm sorry to say) based on fear and pain. It's "if you don't do what I say, I'm going to scare or hurt you". Nowadays, many people are switching to a more positive methods. It's "if you do what I want, I'm going to give you a wonderful thing". The positive method gives you a better result and improves the relationship between you and your dog (because you never hurt them or make a noise to scare them). If pulling on the leash is a problem, a much more humane method of "fixing" this is with the use of a head halter (such as a Gentle Leader) until you've trained them to have better manners on a leash. I also notice you're training outside where there are lots of distractions. It's important to start training in the house (with few or no distractions) until the behavior is at an acceptable level (and then you gradually add distractions--it's a lot easier to learn something new when there aren't a lot of distractions around ("hey, come do something fun with me", "hey, look at the cute puppy on TV, etc.). I'm not saying this to be mean or to say you're a terrible owner or person. You aren't. You obviously love Finn and Magic and they are very lucky dogs to have you as their family. You take excellent care of them. And many years ago, I used the more punative methods of training, too. Then I met someone who changed my mind and showed me a better way--she changed my relationship with my dogs for the better and I'll never go back to reliance on collars and "corrections". My current Dane (Lina) is a puppy mill survivor and is extremely fearful (she's quite something, Lina and will never be "normal" but we love her). I could never use any kind of punishment with her, but she does wonderful using positive methods. Please consider consulting with a positive trainer in your area and work with Finn and Magic on basic stuff and learn about positive training methods. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at the results and in the improvement in your relationship with them. I hope you and your followers take this in the spirit in which I mean it--to be helpful.

[@janhankins911]

By the way, you can use positive training methods to train many "parlor tricks" (like having your dog turn lights on or off; shaking his or head yes or no, bringing you a tissue or a beer from the fridge, crossing their legs, even "dog dancing"--one of our favorites is to say "Lina, do you love [insert the name of the person] and she nods "yes"). You could never achieve this with punishment but you an easily achieve this with positive methods. I'm a convert to positive training and want to help others see the benefits, as well.

[@MichaelCoburn]

Thanks for sharing- I understand your points and will investigate.

[@clevercanid34]

They are obviously loved! It’s nice to know you are open to learning new methods of achieving the same results! These beautiful dogs just need more people like yourself who love them and their quirks 🤣😂🤣 Mine is sleeping under the covers since it’s winter here in Australia 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️😜

[@thetruckersmanifesto3873]

I had shit splattered halfway up my back getting tackled buy a horse.

[@silviakapfinger4956]

GOOD MORNING! YOU ARE A GOOD COACH, INTERESTING VIDEO! YOUR LIVING AREA IS VERY NICE! I LIKE THE HOUSES AND NATURE! LOVE YOUR DOGS!🐶😘🐶😍🐶😘🐶

[@MichaelCoburn]

Thank you Silvia. We are lucky to be in a nice affordable area of America. This neighborhood anywhere on one of the coasts would be double if not triple the price. Love Cleveland - Hudson, Ohio

[@SmokeyBear224]

What kind of dog is the darker one?

[@jaaythegreat7849]

Nathan Damery Great Danes ears are just cut

[@tarannumkhan6551]

What is the age of Finn and magic

[@thetruckersmanifesto3873]

2800 acers up here. Telling u he's wild. 4 miles to the dirt road and 15 more to concrete. I don't think he's timetable

[@tarannumkhan6551]

Magic is American yes And finn is what

[@North95]

I miss magic.

[@ltcolumbo9708]

Lol

[@tarannumkhan6551]

American are best or European

[@weepingwillows1360]

Can they run lose please. They want to run around and get some exercise 💪

[@mithrandir1313]

those who carry a pistol should hold the leash in the left hand.

[@stephaniewilliams2428]

Are Finn and magic neutered?

[@MichaelCoburn]

Yes at 12 months and 10 months respectively

[@stephaniewilliams2428]

@@MichaelCoburn is it possible in your opinion to have a unique neutered male live with a neutered male when one of them is old enough at 13 months or even later ?

[@MichaelCoburn]

I think you’re asking if you can have a neutered and and unneutered male live together? My only concern would be “marking” which is why we neutered Finn finally at one year.

[@omarhaque4098]

If you are a professional trainer , these dogs need more discipline as they don’t respect you. Get a prong collar and watch Jarrett diyk9 video and they will be fixed. If you are owner then that’s pretty good

[@MichaelCoburn]

I am the iwner

[@cecilygf]

Im new to dogs, and glad to see its not.perfect for you either!

[@rioborzeli147]

lol yup he is loose . Cant best a Great Danes attitude lol
