How To Train Your Great Dane Puppy to Stop Biting: Don't Make These Mistakes! | Great Dane Care

[@lacigarcia8946]

When Apollo was a puppy I would use the "cry and ignore" method. He loved to grab my hands with his mouth to attempt to get my attention. So, I started to pretend to cry when he did it, then turned my back to him and didn't give him attention. It took about a week (maybe 2) of my husband and me both doing it that finally got it through to Apollo not to bite us. Just be consistent! You got this!

Nice work!

Thanks for being here from the beginning!

Thank you for the videos. We got our puppy 2 weeks ago and watched all of your videos leading up to his arrival. We are also going through the bitting phase but we enjoy him (Ranger) a lot! Great addition to the family.

[@GreatDaneCare]

You’re welcome, congrats on the new pup!

[@SmartLemon123]

Clicked instantly. I call my Great Dane a velociraptor all the time, but that’s because she’s very vocal :P

[@GreatDaneCare]

They do make some strange sounds 😂

[@HoniValeGreatDanes]

I love when they talk 💘 I have 4 Danes and only one is a talker. Two are huggers.

Thank you for putting out this video! I have a 3 month old Great Dane and he bites me all the time while we play. Very helpful tips!

[@GreatDaneCare]

Oh you’re probably in the thick of teething then!

[@LadybugLaff]

Wish I had seen this vid a year ago, when my Dobie pup was going through teething! At first, I felt that he didn't like me or was being aggressive, just like you said! I had a Great Dane many, many years ago, but acquired him as an older dog. I have been thinking of getting a Dane puppy now that I've survived the first 1.5 yrs of my Dobie!

What can we do When the “sharp-cry” method isn’t effective? We have 4 kids in the house and I think our puppy is so used to hearing loud screams and crying ..... he is unphased By the sharp cry method. We have been trying this method for almost a month and it isn’t working . We cry out , back away and sometimes even turn our backs . At this point, our pup jumps on us and barks , while continuing to bite, nip.

[@wrayewenigmann3696]

Great! Thanks, both to of you. You are so right, practise makes perfect! We also gave our Danes plenty of appropriate toys to chew. Hoping your family is safe and well xx :)

[@GreatDaneCare]

Thank you and same to you and your family!

We just got our 1st Great Dane puppy yesterday! Any tips on potty training??

[@duncanandsebass6455]

great dane puppies they most likely already know where to go pee

[@Tiffany_JSmith208]

I am following from UK, preparing for my new puppy (male) who I'm collecting on Friday afternoon, loving your videos. He's a brindle, great dane / rhodesian ridgeback. Should I consider anything else whilst training him the way you have recommended? Thank you! Tiffany.

[@Tiffany_JSmith208]

He is 6 months by the way!

[@GreatDaneCare]

Not really, just be consistent while practicing and stay patient 👍

[@HoniValeGreatDanes]

Mine like to nibble my chin. Right now my puppy likes to chew the food stand. So I sprayed it with vinegar which makes him sneeze when he goes near it. But I have to spray it daily. Very helpful video 🙂

[@GreatDaneCare]

Chin nibbles sound like they could hurt!

[@1993Renske]

I love Gus and your videos! They're very helpfull with our great dane, so thank you! I do have a question. Our dane puppie (11weeks old) doesn't bite on our hands or arms, only on everything on the floor. When we are outside he tries to eat grass, rocks and well, like everything that's on the ground. and when we ware inside he constantly leaves his toys to play with shoes and other stuff we don't want him to play with. Do you have any tips to deal with this?

[@okhoneybee]

Yes, I have a baby raptor!

[@maggieflynn7440]

I call my 10 week old puppy my baby alligator or my little dinosaur 😂

[@GreatDaneCare]

Their teeth are equally sharp 😂

[@kennethluebberke8216]

My Dane and my wife's Daniff and the puppy from the two, have very soft mouths because we have played with them and told them (yiping) that it was too rough.

[@xandriaelizabethrain443]

Omg Gus is beautiful 😍😃❤

I always walk and play with my two months old dane, Maximus. If he gets tired he'll stop biting and sleep then I can work. I gave him a lot of toys to bite but he always prefer biting our stuff. Everytime he bite my hands I always react and tell him that's bad.

[@GardensLadyBug]

We made it through puppyhood mouthing and now we have such a gentle girl.

[@kingpins1020]

Hey Zach, my name is Frank do you have a video on how you've discipline Gus or any great dane for that matter? Especially after doing something wrong. Is there a special place you send him to? What's your tone of voice?

[@GreatDaneCare]

That’s a great question, unfortunately I’ve never made a video on it though! A firm tone is usually enough to convey your displeasure when they’ve done something wrong. No need to yell or go nuts as they a high emotional IQ. One thing you especially don’t want to do is send them to their crate or bed as that should always be a place of safety and comfort and not punishment.

[@kingpins1020]

Thank You for the response. Keep doing such great job. It's very informative.

[@lukemarshall9691]

My Dane pup seems to always want to chew on rocks and eat dirt. I read that this is a genetic issue . Any recommendations?...

[@cutiegirlrocker]

Is your Dane okay ?? 2023

[@2v_Kevn]

Couple days shy of 2025, are they okay?

[@deadbydaylight6376]

What if he latched on?

[@tim76239]

I didn't bring home a Great Dane puppy....I brought home a hyena lol

[@GreatDaneCare]

It takes time but the teething will get better!

[@maggieturner1603]

I have a 3 and 2 year old and we got a great Dane from someone off of craigslist. She is still kinda young so I know she is just playing but she gets very hyper around them and nips at them an everything and idk how to fix this. It makes it where they dont even want to be around her. I dont know what I need to do to get her to know when they get scared that they dont like it. They are still kinda young to be able to do these methods.

[@christinaramos5478]

Did you ever find a solution to this ? I’m currently going through this exact situation. My kids don’t want my Great Dane around anymore because her biting has gotten harder to the point she even rips through their clothes

[@tameliaorellana]

Do you think your tips would work for a Great Bull Dane?

[@blorf6167]

When are we going to get a video telling us how to potty train a tyrannosaurus :c

[@taylorwalton4260]

We just got a 10 week old black female! Still looking for a good name

[@LittleImpaler]

Issues I am having with my 3 months old. She wants you to play with her. You play with her. She then plays with herself. Pawing me when she's too excited, especially in the face. Has too much energy especially at bedtime sometimes. Or runs at me while sitting on couch or in bed.

[@tameliaorellana]

Hard to keep consistency when I have two young boys who love it when she bites 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@aprilproductions5288]

My friend has a Great Dane puppy and he is a land shark 👁👄👁

[@trinisuprazee]

I dont have a dog lol but i heard keeping whole carrots in the fridge and giving them to teething pups are good

[@KaibamanYT]

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.

[@needsabettername3165]

I call my puppy a piranha or velociraptor lol
