Big dog Great Dane, Honey, going for a walk...

www.bighoneydog.com / Honey the Great Dane going on one of her daily walks...we like to take her on different walks throughout the week to keep things interesting for her, from off-leash romps in the dog park to strolls through busy downtown areas to leashed pavement walks around the neighbourhood - and of course, a weekly visit to one of our local beaches! We try to never do the same walk two days running - and we're very luck to have so many lovely places within easy reach in Auckland...

Aren't dogs usually ecstatic for walks? I keep the leash on a hanger near the door, and when my dog wants to walk, he actually leaps up and grabs the leash, finds me, and brings it to my hand.

@scaIpeI That shows how little you know Great Danes - and giant breeds, ha! ha! These dogs are famous for being lazy and unmotivated about most things. Other people can't even whisper "walk" - whereas Honey never gets very hyper for anything. Doesn't mean she doesn't enjoy it. It's just different personalities. It's what makes them such placid, easy-going dogs to live with - but also what makes them difficult to train because they have a lot less motivation to do things compared to other dogs.

How did you teach her where she had to stop, and couldn't go before saying 'ok' ? :)

Very nice.

Through consistency and repetition - Honey knows the "Wait" command so I always said this on opening the front door and then her release word "OK" - if she stepped through first, she was called back and had ot wait until she got her release word. After a while, I started testing her by opening the door but not saying "Wait" - and praised her LOTS if she didn't step through by herself. Now, it has become habit.

The off leash area always so dead like that ? Here it doesn't seem to matter what time of the day I go there's always at least one other dog usually many for Raven (my dane) to paly with. :D

@Jessica141996 It's not even a choke its a chain collar.  I use a pinch on my Dane anytime I take her outside of the apartment.

ER I only disliked this video because of the choke coller! That should only be for show not use!
