I finally adopted a Dane :D! Unfortunately she is deaf, so her training has been a bit difficult. But, she is still doing really well, and I'm so proud of her.
I have to say, your Danes are GORGEOUS!!! I love your Fawnequin! We used to have a Brindlequin. ;-) Both of your babies are gorgeous, and I love your training techniques. So nice to see someone train positively!
That was loads of help thanks David, I havent had a Dane for many yrs and just got a new one! Great reminders for me. 7 weeks and we are in amongst it!
We have a female Blue Merle named Willow, and we are in love with her. She’ll be 9 months old on January 13th and a year old on April 13th (we got her at 2-3 months old). She’s a bit difficult to train (super stubborn lol), but she’s a good girl overall.
Great job David!! It is so refreshing to find new and different techniques/words to use for training. Always appreciate seeing a fellow dog lover who takes the time invest in good training. I have a 15 yr old Shep/Boxer and it's so nice to hear nice comments on how well behaved she is....makes all those hours of training and bonding/play time well worth the effort.
Mr. Hogan, you are a wonderful leader representative for these wonderful, and beautiful Danes! I am so glad that you posted a video of your techniques because the are identical to the techniques I have used on my past Rotties and now Wolf hybrid. It is extremely effective, positive training. Great job and I look forward to more of your videos. Please give Rocky and Augie a hug for me. I want to wrap my arms around both of them and squeeze!
Thank you. Should have watched this a long time ago. Have been walking my 2 danes together for the last 8 years and one is always faster than the other.
Excellent video, David! I love your work with your Danes - they both seem like such nice, happy boys! I'm going to start working with my Dane using these ideas. He's pretty good on a leash but I'd like him to be better.
Your videos have been a godsend to me....I'm taking classes to get by dog trainer cert...I can only hope to be as good as you in my training...thx for the great info! You rock
when I was a kid 50 years ago, I recall these neighbor's down the road who had Great Danes. they would attach the leashes to the front bumper of the truck and drive slowly around the block ( large blocks)
This was an excellent video for what information I was seeking. Well, you could call it reassurance lol! I happen to be barely 5ft tall, and although I have experience leash/walk-training large dogs, Great Danes and other Mastiffs are a bit larger. I'm glad to see that handling of such big, beautiful dogs is the same as with any other sized dog.
I live in a rural area. I want my dogs to listen to me, but I don't want them to be robots. Let them run, have them cone when you ask. I'm so happy I need to put them on a leash so occasionally.
Love your fawnequin ... don't see them very often (because they can't be show for conformation ... but they are gorgeous pets!). I've learned a lot from you. We have a 10 month old Black and he is well behaved but needs some fine tuning ... I do believe the clicker may be the answer because it is an IMMEDIATE response to the dogs behaviour while getting a treat takes a second or two. I had someone tell me you "load the clicker" so they associate the sound with a treat (repeating click/treat numerous times) then not as many treats are needed in the training process. Great video!
I love, love, love your Great Danes, my husband and I will be getting our first Dane puppy this weekend and I am super happy!!!! He will be a harlequin. :D I have always had good luck training puppies with the face harness like you have. (not sure exactly what they are called) I am happy to see you use the same thing!! This video was so helpful.
i love your videos they have been such a huge help in training my dane how to behave properly! i do have one question though. when it's just me and him, he does beautifully, no barking or anything. when i take my other three dogs, they go balistic and get him excited as well, so its not enjoyable to take all my dogs for walks... what should i do? thank you again, i really do love your videos!
Thank you thank you for showing me the danes. I have a dane and I need to train him. I used clicker training on my smaller dogs and it was extremely effective. Now I know that I can use the same approach with my Great Dane. What kind of treats are you using for them in this video?
Now that my boy Sisco-Ray is 6 months old I’ll be using some of these heel techniques that I’ve not implemented yet at this stage. My boy has the audible and hand sign commands down flat but he’s not making eye contact as much as I feel he should by 6 months of age but he has been increasing his eye contact for sure. I want eye contact upon his name call, even though he’s taking commands once I say his name, just no eye contact, that nose stays down or he stares at the passerby(while still taking commands, is this strange?)…
I was given a harlequin Dane that had "lived on a chain since it was a puppy, the owner had no idea how to train it. It was out of control & had NO MANNERS. I had it for a half hour and it came, sat, healed, and went down on command. He was smart, he just needed someone as smart as he was. Dogs are like cloths. You don't ware a dress or suit when you go mountain climbing, and you don't get a any dog when you don't know what type of dog will fit in your lifestyle and expertise.
My husband and I are looking at adopting our first Great Dane female 11 month old this next week. However, from what I have learned from the family that is fostering her is that she seriously lacks in socialization!! I have a 15 month old blind shih tzu. How would we go about introducing one to the other without there being any altercation? She will be meeting with a trainer on a regular basis until we know that there won't be any issues between the two dogs. But what can we do to allow them to co-habitate without having to banish one or the other to their kennel?
Lots of different reasons WHY people would use clickers. Mostly = speed up training process in a lot of applications. Also, food-based training = faster training, especially for general obedience. IMO, the "dogs just want to please their humans" stance usually = more reliance on outdated methods, including dominance/hierarchy models and correction/compulsion styles. Anyhow, this is not really a forum for a lengthy debate. But, it's nice to get people talking, so thanks for participating.
Are you sure those does aren't slowing down from all of the food you gave them? :) Just kidding.. my friend has two and they're out of control at times. Thanks For The Video!
my wife and i just got a baby great day and we are walking her and she is pulling on the leash a ton!!! When i try to correct her she doesnt take a reward for being good because she is so distracted. Any advice??? i dont want to be drug around our neighborhood by our dog!
This is great. I am having trouble with my Dane. When we go to off leash parks, with people walking other dogs around he is great. No issues, follows us everywhere. But at home walking in the area, he get reactive to other dogs, pulls growls, and barks. We had issues with other people, and kids, but we mastered that part. He still has issues with other dogs....Any tips. Redirection doesn't help, or even treats, once he sees a dog from far, he goes for it.
.I have a 7 month old dane. I have been socializing him since he was 8 weeks old. I take him on regular walks and to the dog park where he is so good. He plays and interacts with dogs and kids there fine. However I have started to have the occasional issue with him. Example. tonight I walked him in a very busy park and a boy ran up behind him to tackle him and Walter freaked out growled at the boy multiple times. It only happens with kids. how do I fix this issue? it only happens occassionaly.
... "And I don't have a sled" Hahaha! We are getting a Great Dane in a few months and I'm doing all the research on training I can. Don't want to be suddenly pulled down and dragged on the sidewalk on my face!
I just watched a video of a guy using a shock collar on a Dane, I figured the Dane's movement were slow and hesitated for that reason, but I wanted to see how Dane's move generally(not knowing the breed too well). I'm happy this was the next video I watched.
How do you do that? My daughter adopted a Great Dane/Lab mix from a rescue and he does listen but when we are outside and other kids or small dogs are around he wants to go play.
What about other dogs approaching them? My dog is perfectly trained, and I am responsible, but it's not the case for a lot of dog owners, once we were almost attacked by one medium size dog and a small dog who pulled so hard on their owner that made him fall down and almost got loose, we ran, but what to do in these cases? I don't take my Great Dane out that much because I am afraid he is going to get in trouble due to irresponsible owners.
Hi I have a 2 year old Great Dane and he barks at other dogs when we are driving (he is on the back of a ute). He was chased and attacked by a blue cattle dog when driving in town and I think it stems from that. What processes can I go through to get him out of this. He is really kind natured but his bark scares almost everyone and their dogs.
+Philippa Murphy I walk my Dane with a halter as well. The only way I can control her, as we are basically the same size. There is no discomfort or pulling with normal walking. It only pulls if she has a sudden burst forward, it just pulls the nose down and then she stops.
Clicker training is great except when you have deaf/visually impaired Danes. We use sign and touch therapy and our non-Dane rescues (hearing and seeing) also know sign. It works for us but takes patience.
Hey, I'd like to have some advice about adopting a Great Dane! I'm 16 and I live in a pretty big appartment (so no garden, unfortunatly) and both of my parents would love to adopt one too. The thing is that they're both working all day except on wednesday, friday afternoon, saturday and sunday. We had a conversation about adoption and they were afraid that the dog'd be lonely... I come home everyday for lunch (I've got a bit more than an hour break) so I told them I could take the dog out, and spend time with him/her during that time. Also I don't come home very late, because my school schedule is quite good. So do you think the dog'd be sad? Because that's really what matters to us... We want to adopt a dog if we're a 100% sure that he/she 's gonna be happy with us! thanks a lot!
David Hogan...ON WHAT NICE CITY YOU ARE...????... EN QUE CIUDAD ESTAS TU....???? ..IT IS VERY BEAUTIFUL THE PLACE .....!!!...ES MUY HERMOSOEL LUGAR....!!!
But they don't need this head shit!!!! A untrained chihuahua off leash is much more dangerous than a trained great Dane!! I'm owning dogs since I was a kid (BIG and little) so I know what I'm talking
I was wondering when is the right time to train a Great Dane? I have a nine month old Great Dane and she is scared to go out the front door.What should I do so she wont be scared. I am also worried about her seeing other dogs on the street because she is very curious.
I have a harlequin blue merle Great Dane he is papered and I would like pups. I know if I breed him with the same type of breed there's a good chance of being deaf or blind what do you recommend?
kaila k You either have a harlequin or a merle. They are two different colors. Never breed merle x merle! You are likely to have deaf or blind pups, or both. Only breed harls to solid color dogs. Never breed spot to spot, in other words. A harlequin is a while Dane with black spots. A merle is a gray Dane with either black or blue (darker gray) spots. I hope that this helps you.
Yes, thank you but he does happen to be the surviver of both. He has awesome spots and the blessings of the blue eyes . He is papered and is neither deaf or blind but the only one from the litter.
do not breed your dane because you have papers and you like his spots. please read up on what responsible breeding is, showing great danes that are champions in conformation and temperament (it's important), and all of the health tests that should be done to both parents....heart, hips, eyes, etc. if you are truly serious about breeding and love danes, as i am sure you do... please find a mentor. this breed is in trouble and riddled with health problems. don't be a backyard breeder, please. real breeders show their dogs and work to improve the breed overall, not to make money off puppies. it is a hobby, and it is a hobby that does NOT pay. breeders invest far more into their lines and showing than they make off of puppies. please reconsider the current state of these dogs and the heartbreak of having an unhealthy dog, or a dog that has temperament issues.
I was here to gain insight to why people use clickers & treats. As I said David this question was not to mess with you, I really wanted to know. I still stand by dogs wanting to please you, but as with people some are just slower then other to understand what you want. Giving them heart felt praise gets results because they do just want to please you. I have had everything from mutts to double paperd dogs, house, game hunting, & flock & military guard dogs, All have had the same results.
I am a part of the Human Deaf Community. The Deaf use lights or vibrations where Hearing prople would use sound. I recommend it in training your dog. Use a flashlight and snacks instead of a clicker.
ok but you have the dog clipped/fastened to your most vulnerable point. Your center of gravity which would magnify any action by the dog. Am I incorrect?
great danes are such a handsome breed, dont you think?
I finally adopted a Dane :D! Unfortunately she is deaf, so her training has been a bit difficult. But, she is still doing really well, and I'm so proud of her.
+Anjounet Leavell Awww congrats!!!!
+Anjounet Leavell you go girl!
+Kirstin Mitchell Thank you!!!
+rosa west Thanks#
How is she now
I normally love long haired dogs, but Great Danes are so awesome. I just wish they would live longer lives.
psychotic _Bear That's probably a world record. Hope you got that documented by a vet!
@BlindBear 🤔 mix breeding is why breeds have problems and defects. Mixed isnt the way to go with danes at all. No.
@BlindBear " with danes " 🥱
Wonderful video. Beautiful dogs.
I have to say, your Danes are GORGEOUS!!! I love your Fawnequin! We used to have a Brindlequin. ;-) Both of your babies are gorgeous, and I love your training techniques. So nice to see someone train positively!
My dog loves watching your videos.
Adorable 🥰🥰🥰nice work by teh way
That was loads of help thanks David, I havent had a Dane for many yrs and just got a new one! Great reminders for me. 7 weeks and we are in amongst it!
What gorgeous Danes! I can't wait to get my harlequin girl.
Brittany Perry me too sweetheart 😘

I just stumbled across this as I want a Dane soooo bad! These guys are beautiful!!! You do such a great job
Great job David!! It is so refreshing to find new and different techniques/words to use for training. Always appreciate seeing a fellow dog lover who takes the time invest in good training.

Omg I have a great dane and he's driving me crazy!!!! I'm so glad I found your channel!
Thank you. Should have watched this a long time ago. Have been walking my 2 danes together for the last 8 years and one is always faster than the other.
Hi great job where did you get the belt and leashes whats the name? i also have 2 great dane i see they are just great !!!
Excellent video, David! I love your work with your Danes - they both seem like such nice, happy boys! I'm going to start working with my Dane using these ideas. He's pretty good on a leash but I'd like him to be better.
I have a lab puppy but I was certainly tempted to get a great dance, they are so gentle amazing dogs
The Tango and the Waltz would be good breed choices. I would suggest you steer clear of the Hip-Hop breed.
I love your danes!!! Great job! ✋👍
Your videos have been a godsend to me....I'm taking classes to get by dog trainer cert...I can only hope to be as good as you in my training...thx for the great info! You rock
Your dogs are beautiful!
when I was a kid 50 years ago, I recall these neighbor's down the road who had Great Danes. they would attach the leashes to the front bumper of the truck and drive slowly around the block ( large blocks)
Oh please tell me where did you get the leash, or the name of those types of leashes. Amazing video, thanks!!!
good looking dogs, do you know where i can find a good quality dog with pedigree?
I wish so much that I could have a Great Dane...
I wish so much that I could have a Caucasian Ovcharka. And we will!
Just realized you said you wanted one and a recent one I saw you said you adopted one lmao
They are pretty easy to train. Some people do not take the time to do so. I love great danes. LOVE LOVE LOVE
This was an excellent video for what information I was seeking. Well, you could call it reassurance lol!

you are a wonderful trainer
im definetly gonna use those tips on my dane someday
@ 6:48 "who can run faster? aha" love it!!! 8:02 my FAVORITE PART!!!! You are hilarious! I will definitely save this for when we get our dane.
I love, love, love your Great Danes, my husband and I will be getting our first Dane puppy this weekend and I am super happy!!!! He will be a harlequin. :D I have always had good luck training puppies with the face harness like you have. (not sure exactly what they are called) I am happy to see you use the same thing!!

Those boys are gorgeous! None of the Danes I work with will take treats on walks 🤷♀️
Can you do a video detailing their leash n harness setup?
Great content keep it up
Love it! Us Dog Training "Nerds" are the best!!
I like this guy he's cool, I taught my one year old female Dane to walk without pulling but this is super advanced but still it's cool
Love u r lessons.

The belt is from a Seattle Company called Dolan's Dog Doodads. The leashes are made by LOOPZ.
I did not use clicker training on my dane and he turned out fine, but this is interesting! Might try it on a future dog;)

What kind of Dane is the White and Fawn colored Dane?
Both are incredibly beautiful.
This is super late but he's a fawnequin
I have a Dane who I swear listens to me through his stomach!!! How do you stop rewarding with food and start rewarding with touch?
Where did you buy that leash?
Nice work.
How do you do that? My daughter adopted a Great Dane/Lab mix from a rescue and he does listen but when we are outside and other kids or small dogs are around he wants to go play.
Braun gefleckt.
Seit wann gibt es das?
Und wie entstand diese Farbe?
Hi, I was wondering if you had any puppy great dane training video's? My pup is almost 12 weeks and already super stubborn lol
What about other dogs approaching them? My dog is perfectly trained, and I am responsible, but it's not the case for a lot of dog owners, once we were almost attacked by one medium size dog and a small dog who pulled so hard on their owner that made him fall down and almost got loose, we ran, but what to do in these cases? I don't take my Great Dane out that much because I am afraid he is going to get in trouble due to irresponsible owners.
Thank you so much :) I will be working on that.
I would like to see how you deal with distractions like dogs, squirrels etc?
Thanks!
Where do you get those leashes at?!
Good for you.
Thanks for watching!
~ David the Dog Trainer
what kind of cheese do you use for treats?
So do you still give them food every time you click?
amazing dogs
What kind of leash is that?
Hi I have a 2 year old Great Dane and he barks at other dogs when we are driving (he is on the back of a ute). He was chased and attacked by a blue cattle dog when driving in town and I think it stems from that. What processes can I go through to get him out of this. He is really kind natured but his bark scares almost everyone and their dogs.
I’ve never seen a Dane that was brown. Very pretty.
Do the head harnesses tighten if the dogs move forwards? Would a harness be more humane?
+Philippa Murphy I walk my Dane with a halter as well. The only way I can control her, as we are basically the same size. There is no discomfort or pulling with normal walking. It only pulls if she has a sudden burst forward, it just pulls the nose down and then she stops.
I miss mine
my gentle leader always rides up to right underneath my babys eyes. how can i stop that?
Clicker training is great except when you have deaf/visually impaired Danes. We use sign and touch therapy and our non-Dane rescues (hearing and seeing) also know sign. It works for us but takes patience.
Can someone please tell me, What do you call Augi's coloring? I have not seen a dane with fawn spots. I have a black dane, just fyi, lol.
Its called fawnequin :)
I think it's harlequin, maybe fawn harlequin or something I don't know haha but he's gorgeous
I just realised how old your comment is haha. I searched it and the colour is fawnequin

How old are the Danes in the video?
David Hogan...ON WHAT NICE CITY YOU ARE...????... EN QUE CIUDAD ESTAS TU....???? ..IT IS VERY BEAUTIFUL THE PLACE .....!!!...ES MUY HERMOSOEL LUGAR....!!!
Thank you for commenting! Yes, dogs need a lot of work! Especially if they are THIS BIG!
But they don't need this head shit!!!! A untrained chihuahua off leash is much more dangerous than a trained great Dane!! I'm owning dogs since I was a kid (BIG and little) so I know what I'm talking
I was wondering when is the right time to train a Great Dane? I have a nine month old Great Dane and she is scared to go out the front door.What should I do so she wont be scared. I am also worried about her seeing other dogs on the street because she is very curious.
Maybe try feeding her treats while you're walking out the door and praise her each time she gets further out the door
hey hogsie, if i pay you to come to australia, will you train my great dane ?
Yes it is. I find dogs are only as smart as their masters, but both can be educated.
A Great Dane with tan spots? Is it possible?
I have a harlequin blue merle Great Dane he is papered and I would like pups. I know if I breed him with the same type of breed there's a good chance of being deaf or blind what do you recommend?
kaila k You either have a harlequin or a merle. They are two different colors. Never breed merle x merle! You are likely to have deaf or blind pups, or both. Only breed harls to solid color dogs. Never breed spot to spot, in other words.
A harlequin is a while Dane with black spots. A merle is a gray Dane with either black or blue (darker gray) spots.
I hope that this helps you.
Yes, thank you but he does happen to be the surviver of both. He has awesome spots and the blessings of the blue eyes . He is papered and is neither deaf or blind but the only one from the litter.
do not breed your dane because you have papers and you like his spots. please read up on what responsible breeding is, showing great danes that are champions in conformation and temperament (it's important), and all of the health tests that should be done to both parents....heart, hips, eyes, etc. if you are truly serious about breeding and love danes, as i am sure you do... please find a mentor. this breed is in trouble and riddled with health problems. don't be a backyard breeder, please. real breeders show their dogs and work to improve the breed overall, not to make money off puppies. it is a hobby, and it is a hobby that does NOT pay. breeders invest far more into their lines and showing than they make off of puppies. please reconsider the current state of these dogs and the heartbreak of having an unhealthy dog, or a dog that has temperament issues.

I was here to gain insight to why people use clickers & treats.
As I said David this question was not to mess with you, I really wanted to know.
I still stand by dogs wanting to please you, but as with people some are just slower then other to understand what you want. Giving them heart felt praise gets results because they do just want to please you. I have had everything from mutts to double paperd dogs, house, game hunting, & flock & military guard dogs, All have had the same results.
thanks a lot for this, you're so cool :)
Not true at all.
Many dogs pull with head collars on.
Thanks for watching!

I am a part of the Human Deaf Community. The Deaf use lights or vibrations where Hearing prople would use sound. I recommend it in training your dog. Use a flashlight and snacks instead of a clicker.
ok but you have the dog clipped/fastened to your most vulnerable point. Your center of gravity which would magnify any action by the dog. Am I incorrect?
David great at barking isnt he.??
