Bathing my 5 month old Dane is like world war 3 on drugs lmao.

[@GreatDaneCare]

They’re only going to get bigger, so keep working at it now while they’re “small” 😉

[@stingshore7106]

Omg❤️❤️❤️ look at her with her little shower cap!!❤️❤️❤️

[@trick351]

Love your channel and you & Gus! We just had to put ours down, Bailey was 11 yrs old. We are waiting to get another one. You’re such an inspiration.

[@GreatDaneCare]

Thank you for the kind words

[@trick351]

Great Dane Care of course. You make it look so easy. We rescued our Bailey. She was a total God send ❤️💔

[@julanakeiser1449]

[@anitalangford9189]

I cannot take a bath without Toby trying to get in the tub with me. So when I get out, he gets in. He loves water and being shampoo.

[@S5S5066]

Love you’re channel, Gus is so cute

[@HoniValeGreatDanes]

Gus is a girl. 🤷‍♀️

[@GreatDaneCare]

She’s the best! ☺️

Glad that you like it! 😁

[@vishakhab-l6309]

Aww. How adorable!!!

[@jerryolucas88]

Huge fan of your channel! Thank you for all your hard work. Awaiting the arrival of our Dane currently and all your videos have been great! The fart was a huge heads up 😂

[@GreatDaneCare]

Thanks! Make sure to check out our website as well as I’m slowly catching KZbin up on its content.

[@NickPuente]

I feel like bathing my Dane when I was living at a house was easier to bathe her outside with an garden hose, so there is no surprise of the tub or the shower head coming on. She would love the bath glove, as it was a massaging tool as well as getting her clean and exfoliating the hair!

[@humanityandloves]

hi from australia i love your channel

[@ramonbarboa4316]

My Zelda loves to take a bath. Anytime she walks into the bathroom she gets in the tub immediately. She also loves to play with the water from the hose. She will run laps around the yard just to play with the water.

[@dmoneydubs7036]

Great vid I love Great Danes

[@bmbartistry5037]

We did great training baths but made mistakes with nail cutting. I took for granted our last Dane would sleep through nail clipping so when we got our current Boy I didn’t start slow enough.

[@JustinEarly-uh1fr]

Gus will tend to fall asleep in this videos Shes one sleepy girl

[@micahreed0612]

I needed this haha thx

[@GreatDaneCare]

Hope it helps!

[@leahc5592]

Baths* Besides that, I love your content and I taught my Doberman "In the tub!" so she jumps right in for me- back problems are no joke 🤣

[@_zana]

do you have any specific shampoo / conditioners you would recommend? thank you.

[@max-qz5ff]

How can i make my great dane as calm as Gus ! My dane is currently 3months old , so i think it's the perfect time to teach him..

[@GreatDaneCare]

Some calmness just comes with age, but generally speaking a well-trained Dane is often also calmer because they understand what they’re supposed to act and able to follow directions

[@sakyadeepbanerjee]

These videos are unusually long try shorts, it will be short and informative

[@MrOramato]

DR MARTY, I call him “Dr in a moment.”

[@blairohmert7988]

Are you a volunteer with Rocky Mountain Great Dane Rescue? It’s a great organization right here in Colorado.

[@GreatDaneCare]

It is! I’ve attended a gathering of theirs before but due to time constraints haven’t been able to be as involved as id like

[@larryferguson3853]

Will this work with Saint Dana’s

[@Sanaa__z]

Does your Dane Shed? how do you take care of that?

[@jacquelinevaldez4710]

Our Dane, Levi used to like getting in the shower with me, mostly to drink the the water he could. We use "Johnson & Johnson Baby Shampoo" for his baths, now if I just figure out how to get him to turn around to wash the right side of his body.

[@boparks3204]

My Dane Loves baths, but for some reason gets scared of the shower hose. I have to use a cup.

[@tammycrum7738]

How do you get them to love water

[@abhimanyusingh3918]

Please add some photos and videos also

[@llewisdolphins]

I always use conditioner on my great dane after shampoo. It really helps her skin not dry out from the shampoo. But yes, the getting in to the tub is world War 3, I have tried those tricks and just didn't work. She has gotten better as she has gotten older, but once she is in the tub she is always fine. I agree with the removable shower head, it really helps to get everything done quicker. My dane just simply hates water and so it will always be a struggle. I keep her calmer in the tub by getting into the tub with her and keeping her hips between my legs. We all find the things that work, but for me the initial getting in thd tub will always be a struggle. But even though that is a struggle the rest of the process is streamlined and positive. She always gets a treat after a bath and she absolutely loves being dried off, lol. So even though part of the process may still be an issue you can at least make the rest of the process as positive as possible. I stay in the tub with her and use a ton of praise. After every is done and I go back in to the bathroom to ean up the fur everywhere she usually comes in with me to help. Being in the bathroom is not an issue for her at all, only the getting in the tub. So I see everything else as a win and the struggle to get in the tub as an anxiety that she has a hard time with. Being calm and praising ensures the rest of the process is enjoyable for her. I really think her dislike of water and being soaked is the key to her anxiety, but the drying after the bath is always welcome. Even bone dry she still wants to keep being toweled off, lol. I do use a moisturizing dry shampoo in between full on baths. I only wash her once to twice a year depending on how dirty she is. Her skin is so dry that I opt for dry shampoo for minor cleaning and bath her completely in the fall. Thank you for your tips. Just Don't want to see owners discouraged if it doesn't always work. But as owners we can take their cues of communication and work through it with them. Like I said, getting in the tub is the only struggle, but I have worked to make everything else positive. She loves that she is in close contact with me during the bathing itself. It reassures her that I am right there and constant praise during the process keeps her calm. Each dog us different, but I 100% agree with making the process as positive and rewarding and reassuring for our furbabies as possible. 😁

[@Yourmom-ke4fk]

You wrote a book😂

[@saphirayoder5510]

we’re getting 2 saturday!!!!! baths will be fun lol

[@GreatDaneCare]

2 Danes at once? Definitely gonna be fun 😁

[@saphirayoder5510]

Great Dane Care we will have 12 dogs! they are definitely spoiled as can be, the other dogs are all under 10 lbs so 180lbs dogs will be fun.

[@GreatDaneCare]

Sounds like it’s gonna be wild. You could definitely start your own YT channel to document the shenanigans!

[@HoniValeGreatDanes]

Someone once suggested putting peanut butter on the wall. 😂😂 Yeah that was a joke. 🥴

[@GreatDaneCare]

As a way to entice them into the bath?!?

[@HoniValeGreatDanes]

@@GreatDaneCare Yes! I tried it. I ended up with a messy wall and a Daneless tub. 😂

[@HoniValeGreatDanes]

You should do a video of how rawhides are made. People need to understand about all the chemicals involved and the dangers of eating them.

[@GreatDaneCare]

Omg that is hilarious! Gus would’ve been in that tub in a heartbeat, she loves peanut butter 😂

[@GreatDaneCare]

Great suggestion, thank you!

[@shanebrown6803]

Would dove hurt there skin ?

[@jamiehaight2712]

I was hoping for you to tell me what I can do to help reduce the shedding. My great Dane "MERLIN" sheds so bad . Thank you , Jamie from Arlington , Texas

[@ianpotter2128]

I have the same problem. I did a ton of research and found that this is totally natural but the more the air is dry, the worse it gets. When I sweep the floor, I have enough fur to make 2 more dogs....lol...

[@harlows.journey]

Ian Potter imagine having 9 dogs

[@ianpotter2128]

@@harlows.journey NOOOOOOOOOOOOO.....lol....I have a Dane and Greyhound, that's enough.

[@easterna9174]

As wierd as it may be, i give my dane showers, but i have to be in the shower with him.. I was having to take one after washing him anyway.. so i do the shower and wash thing and the wife and kids dry, while i take a shower..

[@GreatDaneCare]

Hey if the shower’s got room why not!

[@easterna9174]

@@GreatDaneCare well... its a tight sqeeze.. my st. dane, i have to fold her up in her bed, and slide her bed all the way to the bathroom.. shes the dreaded one..

[@jayblesstitch]

how often do you have to wash your great dane?

[@GreatDaneCare]

Maybe once a month, it’s very infrequent unless she gets muddy or stinky

[@notasimp1969]

Nice horse you got there

[@Lee-xw9fr]

My boy loves a hot bath! Like really hot or no deal lol! Still stinks!

[@GreatDaneCare]

At least he likes baths in some form!

[@sakkel.7357]

if possible do not use bathtub, it gets so slippery.
