@MrKasnas Whoa, I"m suprised to hear this....look at more of my videos...does he look or act stupid to you? I mean, intelligence, like people will vary from dog to dog, but for the most part, I can say that Danes are gentle, kind, intelligent, protective and HILARIOUS. If you need more proof, find a breeder or visit a Dane meetup. (Meetup.com)
So I've been helping in training my neighbor's dog (an English Retriever) and I was wondering if you could tell me how you managed to teach Agent the "Off" command. I don't even know if its possible to teach neutered retrievers how to do it because they're always so hungry, but I would love to give it a shot. Agent seems to be extremely well mannered!
@rutwiko01 Youre so nice to help ur neighbor! I taught the OFF technique from "The Well Mannered Dog". Goes like this: Put a treat your closed fist. Let him sniff & pry but DONT let him have it. Eventually, even for a second, he'll turn his head away from ur fist/treat. THAT'S when u IMMEDIATELY give the treat. Timing is key. It teaches him that looking away gets them the treat. Be consistent & always end a session happy. Good luck! I'd love to hear back about his progress!
@moregunnz Depends on where you get them from of course...but I've seen them cost anywhere from FREE to $2000 for a "show dog." Of course, you have to consider costs of food, vet bills, misc. (Big dog, bigger costs at the vet.)
I have never understood why people want there pets to act like sircus-animals,.. i just dont get it. Dogs are so loyal to there owners, no matter what and people want there pets to look like ridiculous monkey. I dont call that respect. Oh boy,..if your dog could speak.. Hes not a toy. Would you do that to your kid?
@konnuli I'm simply showing off manners & trainability...essential things unless u live alone on 100 acres. Re: "ridiculous monkey" tricks, he does enjoy a treat for it! We go to the beach, walks, car rides, dog parks & he sleeps in my bed. & he DOES speak. We communicate very well given our tight bond. Look, I DO insist on manners at minimum ESPECIALLY with dogs of his size. When in public, u can be damn sure he will be polite. I'm sorry konnuli, you've completely missed the point.
@Mejuz Ya know, I've heard the same thing. That the big dogs are stubborn. He was a BREEZE! I highly recommend puppy training classes and books however.
I used to string tricks together like this for my Australian Shepherd/Chow mix (he was a rescue and one of the sweetest dogs ever). He'd start wining and would get just as impatient! Does Agent ever try to do all the tricks at once when he gets really impatient? Teddy used to do that. :-P
Danes are by no means stupid, I think alot of people mix up clumsy with stupid.
when a dane walks into a small room things tend to get knocked over and when they run sometimes people get knocked over. they're mostly giant dogs that are great with kids and very devoted to their family. I have had 3 and they are always the same, wonderful but giant dogs. good luck and I highly recomend the breed.
lol his barking is cute lol my dog does that same thing when we tell him to do something he whines a little and hes so obnoxious =P theyre amazing dogs thought
@cryingsakura Thank you! He's purebread Great Dane. However, he doesn't look like the "typical" Dane, as he is VERY beefy in the chest and shoulders and he's quite short (due to a horrible syndrome he went through as a pup.)
Thank you everyone for your kind words! I haven't been on in awhile, so sorry! I did train Agent myself and we only got through 1/2 of his training before he got terribly sick. Luckily, he learned lots before he got sick. He recovered a few months later thank God. I used a couple books to train him, one being "The Well Mannered Dog". He was the first dog I trained. Credit goes to the book and Agents phenominal attitude and breeding. He's my love.
@TrulyLivindaLife Ya know...I can't say. He's my first dog as an adult. I've had several dogs growing up, but they weren't "mine." If you've had previous experience with dogs...then MAYBE. If you've NEVER had a dog, I'm not so sure. I would definately recommend finding and visiting a breeder and asking questions or find a local Great Dane club or meetup and observe, ask questions.
@salmandini LOL no clue. Might have something to do with getting traction on the treat (carpet holds it in place better) or perhaps they don't like their lips, teeth, tongue clinking against hard tiles??
@misslisa1 Dogs take their treats back to their "homes" or territory to enjoy it there. It's a natural instinct to "take your spoils back home after a hunt" and eat it there. That's why dogs run back to their beds, or family room carpet, and eat their treats there. :-)
@MrJONKS I used the book called "The Well Mannered Dog". Hmm...now I'm starting to wonder if YouTube is going to think I'm promoting that book or something and remove my posts....eh, oh well.
Gorgeous Dane and exquisitely well behaved!! A Dane just joined my family at almost 8 weeks old. Can you point me in a direction for a good training book or source? Thanks a million.
@teej302 Hi there! I"m so sorry I didn't respond earlier, I haven't been on in awhileand don't get notifications. The best book was The Well Mannered Dog. Give it a try!
Oh wow, he's GORGEOUS!! So well behaved and well trained, he's a credit to you...you are clearly a patient and loving owner...give him a hug from me! x
