- Training a Great Dane is quite literally no small feat! With help from my friend Brian, we decided to take on the challenge of teaching our Great Dane a new trick in 5 minutes or less!
Because Gus is already trained on typical obedience commands like sit, down, off, recall, etc... we decided to teach her a "party" trick. In this case, we chose to teach her the SPIN command.
Watch as Brian works with Gus to take a simple approach to teach her this brand new trick, and learn from how he encourages her and corrects for mistakes. Unlike many training videos where you see already trained dogs, you'll see Gus make countless mistakes while Brian works through teaching her this new trick.
While spin may seem like a silly trick, the same principles that Brian used for teaching it can also be applied to teaching any other command. Brian teaches this in his simple 30 step course that takes the frustration out of dog training. Whether you've got a puppy or older dog like Gus, his approach WILL work for you!
You can learn more about it Brian's course over at greatdanecare.com/dogfocus.

My dane learned I needed my shoes if she wanted to go for a walk so she started bringing me my shoes when she wanted to go. Pretty soon she could respond to 'get my shoe.' She even knew to get the matched pair.
Smart pup!
I have a similar thing in that I usually say “oh no” when I drop something- my Dane learnt that something needed picking up whenever I said it so often comes to that phrase!
It was pretty cool seeing Gus acting like a Dane puppy, she is usually pretty relaxed at home. Thanks for the great info.
She’s usually pretty chill but she does get excited to meet people and play!
Teaching tricks to a Dane is SUCH work. This was a great video to show how much work it truly is! Thank you! Gus did SO great!
Gus did wonderful. She is an amazing dog! It was so much fun to work with her.
She had a good teacher! 😁
You can see how much dogs need this kind of mental stimulation it’s great for their brains which also Will wear them out
It'd be easier to teach spin from a standing position over a sitting one so she would be less likely to lay down
True, but the dog is so tall that at standing position she's practically nose to chest with the trainer which makes holding the treat in front of her harder,
she'd probably be tempted to jump up to grab it , which she wouldn't have to even jump up much 😝.
I'm no pro but I think part of what sit does is creates a starting point for the dog and trainer, also like he said , sit is a quick easy command to teach the dog that she will get a reward for completing a command / trick
Lol. You can see how much of a leaner Gus is against the new guy, love it!!’
Gus is so beautiful. I learned a lot from this video. Thank you!
I love Gus!
She’s a sweetie 😊
Danes are such wonderful dogs. We sure miss our boy. They don't live as long as some other breeds but, they create such a sweet bond with their family. What a sweet girl Gus is!
This is very helpful! Also, seeing the mistakes is very helpfull!
That’s definitely the most useful part IMO!
She's so sweet! We taught my Dane this trick the exact same way but he wasn't full grown and the smaller turn radius made it easier 😂
It’s quite the large turn once they’re grown!
Need a video of Gus performing once you and her have practiced!
That’s a good idea for follow up!
I had a very good laugh ! 5 minutes, good luck with that. Gus is a pure Great Dane, with own ideas about life. How old she is ?
4!
5 minutes are up, dog is well fed. 😆
Tie your snacks to a small stick. Works
What a great video! She is a smart doggy!
She actually picked up on this trick quite fast. She definitely was not a fast learner when we first started training her!
Gus was getting dizzy with all the spin commands so she decided to teach YOU a new trick. :)
She’s very driven. My blue girl could almost be twins!
Hey i have a 2 month old great dane and ever time it sees me it starts shivering
Is it excited?
Great trick
I have a Dane of course but short arms. I am disabled and have a lot of grab canes and use them to extend my reach. I have found using a ball throw stick with the ball attached works really well for this kind of project as well. I get the dog to touch the ball and it gets a reward. So may think I'm adding a step to every task trained but when you are disabled you do what works for you 😏.
Really enjoyed this ! Totally agree with the “relationship” goal that Brian (?) explained. Now, my Great Dane girl is 6-1/2 years old (~ 145 lbs). I can’t help but wonder if the course would still help her/us ? Oh - she knows this trick, but we call it “go round”. I need to introduce the empty/opposite hand treat dispensing !
Love your vids! Can I know what euro percentage Gus is? (: I love her look
It is like trying to do a 360 turn in a semi trailer truck hehe. My Dane does do a spin when she chases her tail
That is fr exactly my blue great dane same white spots, build, and behaviour
I tried the link for the training but it only takes me to the site with no information about how to join or pricing or anything. Just the info and to log in which I obviously don’t have an account yet. Can you suggest a new link? I even searched the site myself and the same. I have a new Dane coming home in 3 weeks and I am trying to be as prepared as possible. Lol! Gus is a doll BTW!!! I really have enjoyed all of your videos!
Hi Iris, I just took a look on my phone and it seems that the site is having a temporary issue. I'm working on getting it corrected now, but if you browse to the same link (greatdanecare.com/dogfocus) on your computer it seems to show up correctly. Apologies for the inconvenience and thank you for bringing it to my attention!
Great Dane Care yes! Thank you! I was able to look at it on my iPad.
honestly half of the reason it took a while is because she's so big he can't reach far enough away haha. great video, worked for me :)
How old is precious Gus? We want to teach Harper tricks too. 💗💗💗
Good girl Gus!!! 👑💞👑
She's pretty special :)
I hit the link, but could not find it. Perhaps I am too late to find it. 😞
What kind of treats are good to use? We just got a puppy Dane and are excited to teach him!
Congrats! You can check out our full list here - greatdanecare.com/best-treats-for-great-danes/
My Great Dane is really smart he doesn’t need the baby steps
My Dane sits pretty on the couch lol
My Diva will give you the stink eye after few tries and the look that says : I won't spin for that! Not a circus dog! 😂😂😂
Gotta get better treats then 😉
@@GreatDaneCare nah...shebhas a mind of her own 😂😂😂
Didn’t realize she was a Shebha, but yes they do! 😂
@@GreatDaneCare 🤑🤑🤑🤑
My girl learned spin with a later cause like him my arms are short lol
What treats are you using? Gus is literally foaming at the mouth for them. I find my dane seems to just swallow treats without tasting. My arms are way to short for this.
Most of our arms are too short 😂 The treats are #12 from this list - greatdanecare.com/best-treats-for-great-danes/
Thankyou
Sir how is European great den
I'm going to guess she knows the "paw" command based on how often she offers it here looking for a treat.
My Dane does the same. First I thought I taught her to paw and sit in short interval so she gets confused when I tell her to sit she also picks up her paw but now that I've seen other Danes I figured Danes in general like to throw their paws.
No one taught my dog this trick: it we tap our shoulders she will do nothing but if we do it twice the puts her paws on your shoulders no joke
Y’all be careful their tails smack harder than my grandma can
Me at 6:58 😐
My Great Dane is not food or treat motivated at all !!
It’s wasn’t 5 minutes or under but good job anyway 👍🏽
Not sure about this Brian chap!!! letting dog jump all over the place..and confusing her.. he underestimates the Dane's intelligence. Gus is ''learning'' nothing except...''! I'm just getting those treats Duh!, but if he thinks I am going to do this party trick poodle stuff on command, he can KMA'"! To be honest I suspect Gus's owner is feeling a tad frustrated at the way this chap is confusing his dog. Sorry, I find this more than a little condescending to the dogs intelligence.
I was reading thru these wondering why Gus was being allowed to jump. If my Great Dane would have done that to me it'd be a crisis. It's really hard to find good training videos and while I want to follow this channel IDK how I can support allowing this and teaching the Dane to turn around instead of not jumping first.
All credibility is lost with the amount of jumping Gus does, I like the videos and all but really? Chasing treats and jumping is the first thing you should be training them not to do.... Also there is zero discipline, positive reinforcement training works the best but you still need correct when your dog is misbehaving or jumping! Dude your dog is in control during this entire video...
