Great Dane Leash Training | Great Dane Care

[@leelandforestfarm]

I use the alternating pacing too! Works so well for building relationship and focus on me during a heel.

[@Aloysius10]

I really like seeing happy Gus.

[@amyhampton2303]

Thank you my puppy is gonna be here in two weeks and I am so thankful for these tips

[@sumitdarwade9943]

Thank you so much sir I am seeing your every video and they helped me a lot towards my great dane please make a video on and make your great dane less aggressive

[@alexisprutzman44]

YES would love this thanks & less reactive

[@Gekayshaman]

My Dane is 4.5 months old and I just stumbled upon your channel. Can't wait to start trying all the training and tips!

[@GreatDaneCare]

Hope they help!

[@jessicaurban7523]

Just rescued a Great Dane (Moose) so excited to try these methods with him on our new journey!!

[@leslietoms610]

How is Moose doing? We adopted a rescue last year in September. We're unsure how old Jupiter is, we were told anywhere from six months to a year and six months. At her last vet appointment (about 6 months ago), she was approx. 130lbs and about 32" at the shoulder. She's grown since then.

[@MichaelCoburn]

Hey Zach, loved where Gus did not actually sit all the way because her tail stopped her. Great stuff, great breed.

[@GreatDaneCare]

Thanks! They’re the best 😊

[@fanievisser8628]

Awesome video.Loved it.My dane is all over the place,over excited to go for walk,pulls like theres a big piece of steak waiting for him at other end.Surely going to try this method.

[@UVHoneybee]

So helpful! My dane drug me across our backyard the first day we brought her home.. (stray cat in the yard 🙄) They're so crazy smart though, and it only took that once.. . If she feels any resistance now, she slows and turns to check.

[@philfortin5995]

Thank you for videos. I am a retired LEO K9 handler and we are looking at getting either a Dane or another Rotty for home. Good info to think on.

[@stevenj9970]

Awesome video. Especially wrapping the leash around your index finger so that you’re able to let go Instead of being pulled off your feet

[@normicastano1213]

How do you train your dog to sit so well on command? Would love to see a video about it. Thanks for all the help so far!

[@GreatDaneCare]

Take a look at our latest video 😉

[@saraxx7065]

Beautiful Gus and thanks for sharing

[@jaydenbean3065]

With mine, I would take him for walks an at first he would pull a little bit but I’d just hold the leash close enough to where we were walking next to eachother. After a while I’d let it go to abt 4 feet or so & he’d pull a bit. I’d lightly pull it back an tell him with me & he’s almost 3 now an walks behind me😂😂

[@bea-xy1nu]

how do you stop them from play pouncing at other dogs? when on a leash! thanks!

[@elizabethgallegos6751]

My Dane is 4 and he's very loyal but gets so excited for walks he jumps on everything and pulls to see people which for them is terrifying He's also kinda of protective so it's not so great around others. Tips for this? He's a "smaller" dane 140lb

[@juliedavison-white1496]

Excellent and so clear thank you

[@bjaskiewicz]

Very helpful. I have two other dogs - I’ve been walking our Great Dane with the other two, but that tends to teach bad behavior! I’m going to start solo walking our GD for training purposes.

[@GreatDaneCare]

Agreed. I’d walk them solo when it’s time for training

[@clintgorman8436]

So my wife and I have a male and female border collies both fixed and at an early age. This maybe in your book that we purchased if so apologies for jumping the gun. What age would you neuter a male and if later why? Thanks for the time and videos.

[@legolas7r]

Great channel

[@mnshorten]

I really appreciate your videos

Gus: You got my leash! Where we going?

[@GreatDaneCare]

She knows the leash usually means fun times!

[@noleneburnett7013]

Our Great Dane is 5 months old and SUPER excited to go for walks (uhm, runs), especially after 5 weeks of lockdown. This video is of great help and we will start training him. What I do want to know is, how do you stop your GD from walking in front of you at home? My GD walk in front of me, stops and waits to see which way I'm going. Only problem is, I can't go anywhere because he's blocking my way. Is there a way to train him not to do this?

[@zeusduece5617]

I do love the idea of a control movement at crosswalks but a sit command is often uncomfortable for our Danes, and they often prefer do to go in full down position. In your video Gus doesn't actually sit so sort of supports our theory. This is why why crossing intersections I prefer a simple stop command. Our Dane stays at our hip...no movement until we give the a heel command to move forward. Big boi is standing straight up, fully watching us and has no need for the extra effort of half-sitting.

[@dillonrugg9692]

are you from colordado? the neighborhood looks familiar

[@paigeeissing5146]

Omg this is so great

[@deniseferguson9608]

My Gus tends to start chewing on the leash when we are not moving, especially the 30 ft leash. How can you stop them from grabbing the leash?

[@dakshyadav3952]

I have a female great dane too... and she doesnt listen at all.. she is nice at home. But once out .. she is running pulling leash like crazy.. hurt me sometimes. Dont even recognize or look at me when out side How to handle it.. I too use leash similar to u

[@jimrobertson8621]

Put the coller high on the neck. Low on the neck promotes pulling.

[@mikedrazenovich9444]

Love your videos. I feel guilty not letting my danes smell rocks and bushes while walking to check on other dogs scents. Should I?

[@GreatDaneCare]

Certainly won’t hurt doing it from time to time to let them be curious

[@brendaskelley2971]

Your Gus is absolutely gorgeous and I was wondering how old she is and where did you get her from ? And what color is Gus ?

[@katietibbetts7197]

I have a braided leash but it’s like a thin one would that work to she’s 5monthd

[@johannamcfall2207]

I've got some more questions about leasing. Can I email or dm? Sorry. Im older. Not sure how this works.

[@keevandeurs]

No way for retractable. Plain (like yours) leash. I learned the thumb was strongest - interesting. Yes...Kuda almost automatically sits when a road is underfoot.

[@kaitlynstraley8958]

I have a Great Dane mix with Saint Bernard, German Shepherd,Black Lab and he is very bad with pulling any tips on how to correct that?

[@jimrobertson8621]

Put the collar high on the neck. Low on the neck promotes pulling

[@sharons9367]

Hi we tried this method but as soon as we try running with him he jumps up and bites us on our forearms Today he sunk his teeth in pretty bad Please help

[@patreidcocolditzcastle632]

his a beautiful boy.there just so cool.for my danes the best lead set up is the head holte easy to control them and much nicer for the dog then a choker chain.his name is gus the same as my boys name ha ha.ive a merle girl and my gussy is a fawn

[@poeticpursuits1332]

My Great Dane pulls so hard the second I take him out that he pulled me on the ground over 15 feet behind him, I lost a lot of skin on my legs, face, and wrist was bruised, I could not let go of the leash because it got wrapped around my wrist, I was so bloody. I do not know what to do. I will probably have to rehome him.

[@milliah3788]

I have an 18 month old Daniff who is still frightened by strange adults. If out on a walk she will hide behind me, no growling or whimpering though. And even with my parents she is still super shy. She has finally started to stay still or approach my mum for a pat, but tail between her legs. With my father though she won’t stay still or approach him at all. I’ve even tried giving my parents treats to try and bribe her, but she won’t have it. However, whenever my children have friends over, whilst she doesn’t behave in the same super comfortable way she does with my children, she readily approaches and enjoys physical contact. Is this normal? Is there something I can do to make her more comfortable around strange adults?

[@royalenfield6846]

My greta dane 5 month old and he bite my hand every time...how i cn change this bad habbit

[@smashley20604]

Hi Zack & Gus! My new puppy will not come out of the crate if he knows its time for a walk. (He will come out for food, play or snuggle time though) Please help! I don't want him to be afraid of walking on a leash, but also I wont be able to carry him down the stairs and outside much longer. Accidents are not really a problem as long as I bring him outside in time, but getting him to go out willingly with me is the challenge. I've tried high value treats and its not enough, Any tips would really help! Thanks :)

[@GreatDaneCare]

Try different high value treats, a favorite toy, and an over the top playful attitude. The latter being the most important 😉

[@smashley20604]

@@GreatDaneCare Thank you!!! Will give all of the above a try!

[@LimitlessS20]

Have a two month old puppy who is great dane He doesn't like the lead at all he won't walk with it and will pull back and Try and remove it Suggests on how to fix this or teach him

[@GreatDaneCare]

It just takes LOTS of time and practice! Do short sessions, and make sure to reward them afterwards so that they associate a positive outcome with the leash.

[@JoshCoultas]

Lol

[@GrumpyGrimo]

How we should behave by passing dogs?

[@GreatDaneCare]

Didn't fit it into the video, but we cover lunging and other bad behavior on leash in our article here -> greatdanecare.com/great-dane-leash-training-guide/

[@sandraniswander5637]

Why is Great Dane training different from other breeds?

[@daleleonard7575]

All well and good but how do you manage running into a rabbit or another dog ?Let go ? Or be drug to the next town

How old was he in this vdo?

is it to late to train a year and a half old great dane because he is out of control walking

[@GreatDaneCare]

Not at all. He just needs practice!

Tanks big messi

[@BenRabinowitz-1]

Is it true GDs live only about 6 or 7 years?

[@GreatDaneCare]

7-10 is the “average”, but those numbers are skewed downwards by unfortunate endings

[@BenRabinowitz-1]

@@GreatDaneCare There is a story in the news today that a GD in the UK has topped a record by being the oldest GD; its age is only 8!

[@GreatDaneCare]

Definitely not true. Plenty live to be 10+

[@renji2792]

which leash do you recomend? 1 inch or 3/4?

[@clintgorman8436]

So I’ve just started reading your Dane handbook. My wife and I have had dogs our whole life german Shepherds border collies and now our first Great Dane. I am now disabled and run our border collies leased to the sides of our golf cart. (We live in a retirement community that allows carts) we are aware that strenuous exercise after eating is no good do you have any thoughts about it otherwise? Thanks for any help.

[@PUNJABeYT]

Great Dane one month puppy best food

[@malice-SB]

YOU ATE YOUR GREAT DANE!?!

[@IsraelArellano-uw9cj]

I clean 7 of these giants They geel like cadillacs but somehow I fear them Because of their strenght. I really want to take two home but.

[@GrumpyGrimo]

I also wonder about sniffing. When you let your dog do that?🤔

[@GreatDaneCare]

Only after (1) the other dogs owner has approved them greeting each other and (2) I have released my dog from a heel, sit, etc... position. The second point is key because they should only be greeting other dogs after you have approved as well. Of course, all of this goes out the window at the dog park ;)

[@whitefang8110]

Wow

[@stomper2888]

Vine is 6 and a 1/2 he just likes to sniff things now he just stops every 2nd sniffs I feel bad this sometimes I tug on the leash and say let's go I'm such a jerk

[@rtz6120]

If I get a great dane they will drag me

[@bigdaddyb6005]

Your dog doesn't respect you. My jaxson needs no leash, as I'd leash a human before I'd leash him, and he NEVER leaves my side, NO MATTER WHAT. Bullshit buddy!

[@GreatDaneCare]

It's not a matter or respect - it's simply following the law. Dogs are required by law to be on-leash in many public areas these days.
