Great Dane Training

Information on Training Your Great Dane Dog or Puppy

Characteristically sweet-natured dogs, and perhaps the most affectionate of all dog breeds, Great Danes are devoted to their families. They are fond of children and quite gentle with them. They get along well with other family cats and dogs, but may be wary of strange dogs of the same sex.

Some individuals may be bad-tempered, but this is usually the result of a lack of early socialization and training. Great Danes who are poorly socialized may become timid or overly aggressive. This huge breed needs an owner who is not intimidated by his size, and can act as pack leader to keep the dog under control. Puppies should be taught the basic sit/stay/down commands, and obedience training should begin at six months of age.

Great Danes grow very quickly and, for many, it can come as quite a shock to realize that they have a puppy that weighs 100 pounds bounding about the living room. Due to the fact that Great Danes grow so quickly and because of their sheer size and mass, it's important to get them started in obedience training as young as possible. While he may not mean to cause mischief, puppies can't help being clumsy and playful, and Great Dane pups are especially affectionate. Teaching them control and moderation, while they are still young, is very important.
