- Pulling, tugging, and getting distracted are just a few of the common poor behaviors that can make walking your dog on the leash an unenjoyable experience. For larger dogs, like Great Danes, these poor behaviors are further magnified due to their large size and strength.
To help teach your dog to walk better on a leash, we like to use an easy game called the Sprint-Walk method.
For more tips like this, make sure to take a look at our website, and specifically, our book "The Great Dane Puppy Handbook".

Well, paraplegic here, our puppies were just born 2 weeks ago so we’re awaiting their homecoming. I’ve had dogs my entire life, para since age 17. Mom of 3 and dog owner and lover. Have definitely been able to maintain a dog, but I’m super excited about training my Great Dane early and enjoy the journey. I’m new to Danes and to your channel, but looking forward to trying out all the ideas, just from my wheelchair.
Thank you for the information. I tried it and it worked initially my Dane was always trying to grab the leash and pull me for a run 😂. I can run/walk him now without a leash
I just got a great dane puppy. Learning alot from you. Subbed
This is great! Love the workout and the leash training! We have always just used a Gentle Leader, but I want to give this a try in the future. Thank you!
Let me know how it goes for you 👍
Thank you! My family and I adopted what we *thought* was a Catahoula hound dog mix puppy during social distancing (we live in Colorado too, shout out!). The family who adopted her sister did a DNA test, and it turns out she's a Great Dane!! We've only had German Shepard and Rottweiler mixes before, so a Great Dane is a whole new world... your channel has been so helpful these past few weeks! I can't wait to try this game with little Daphne Doo tomorrow. :)
Glad that it’s helping and best of luck with your Dane! Make sure to take a look at our website (greatdanecare.com) as well as our other UA-cam videos
Love that method. Haven't tried that before. Thanks for sharing
Thanks! Hope it helps 👍
I really wish to have a great dane..it's like one of my dream...but they are very expensive here....hope I too have a day
I just found a rescue that is about 18 months old. Super good dog. There were several at different rescue groups in MO and other states. Google Great Dane rescue and keep checking back and be patient. Good luck
Thank you very much for your videos. They are very helpful. I take my best GF, ( she needs wheelchair), dane puppy from time to time & he is learning to walk , not pull , with leash from help of your videos. xo
Your channel offers such great advice in such a professional manner!! Gus is also the perfect assistant 🥰 Thank you!!
A good assistant is key 😉 Thanks as well!
That’s right - no Divas on set 😅 Gus is handsome and such a lovely dog! Our Great Dane Puppy moves in next week.. 23rd of May! We are soooooo excited! He will be blue as well and our breeder gave us the opportunity to take part on every step of their way becoming a 9 week puppy. And because of you sharing your experience I really want our „Krümel“ become as happy and balanced as Gus is! Please give her a special hug for being an ambassador for her breed 😅🥰!! Have a nice week to come and stay healthy!!
Will do and wish you the best with the new pup!!
Very informative information
I’ll try this today
My fav doggie
Your videos are the best! This is what people need with great danes, very everyday issues;) I have a 2 1/2 year old female spayed dane/mastiff, my question is "did gus ever go crazy on walks everytime there is another dog?" She has been thru training, she is very obedient in every other way, but this🙃 if you have any ideas I trust your opinion, Thank You😊
Thank you!! Gus will get excited when she wants to play with other dogs but she’s not “going crazy” or pulling us. Have you taught yours how to be introduced to other dogs?
@@GreatDaneCare
No I haven't because I don't know how to, can you tell me how to do it?
I’ve wanted to make a video on this for months but the quarantine has kept me away from filming it with a friend 😔
@@GreatDaneCare
That would be great when you can😊 it is one thing they should teach in dog classes, instead thru all her classes except first puppy class, you were instructed to keep dogg away from them and never meet on leash. Now I don't feel comfortable taking her for walk for fear of seeing another dog. So when you can I will be patiently waiting to watch it. You and your family stay healthy!😊
Thank you and you too!
Do you still use your fi collar with gus? Can u do a updated review? Thx
Great video!! We do this with our Blue Dane Toby and like using a gentle lead.
How old is Gus?
Gus is 4!
Most of the time my great dane walks well but has on occasion pulled me what do you recommend a collar or harness. She weights 155 and I weight 102 so what do you recommend for the best control. Thank you I really enjoy your videos
So I have a she will be three months in a week and she is stubborn to where I walk her and she’ll sit down and won’t move I was trying to see I will definitely have to try to do this method but if you have any recommendations I watched most of your walking videos on leash
So our great dane puppy is socialized and still barks like crazy at people. Do you have any tips other than keep socializing her to get her to stop barking?
Curious at what age we should practice leash training. We just got our Great Dane puppy on Saturday and he just turned 7 weeks. Amazingly his neck is a little tiny for current collar.
I’d start ASAP. Grab a smaller collar for now so it doesn’t slip off his head
Great Dane Care and I’ve gotta ask what you think we should do while he’s still small collar wise? Regular around the neck or get him used to something like a small joyride harness?
I’ve read the section in your book but not sure for puppies.
I’d go with a collar to start then you can grab a harness if need be.
My Dane is a 13 week old puppy he becomes stubborn by not wanting to go for walks initially I have to nudge him along then he will begin to walk but then he will start to sit down and kind of try to resist me especially when going up and down stairs any advice on correcting this behavior
I noticed in this video there is no distraction (like children or other dogs) my great dane would drag me across the field to play ! How do I stop that? The only thing I have used that is effective is a shock collar.
my 3month old doesn't move when I use a leash. He whines and sits, doesn't budge .This is my 1st Great Dane. Please help!!
Great information. I can do this with my dogs separately, but once I try to walk the both of them they forget everything. They do not want ANY type of treats when we are out doors, I've tried so many things (including safe human foods). Do you have any advice on how to do it when you are walking 2 great Danes? Thanks
Have you tried a front clip harness ?
How well behaved are they on leash when being solo walked? As in are they just kind of good, or really good?
@@JamesHardenMVP-tr8uq(they broke the body harness front clip at the stitches from pulling) I tried all the different harnesses & more until I decided to give in and try the Halti head face harness. Which works great, stopped them from pulling.
@@GreatDaneCare They are good, not great yet. I'm still having trouble with distractions, but they don't pull away, they just don't fully pay attention to me like they are suppose to.
How much does gus weigh? I’m curious bc I’m getting a Great Dane that’s female and I wanna honks how much she might weigh?
Gus is ~145 lbs, so on the bigger end for females
My last female was never over 100 lbs. Even later in life she maintained this weight. She came from a very large litter, so maybe all of them were lighter than average. Her parents were pretty big though.
She went to 6 weeks shy of 10 years old. The veteran was convinced her weight really helped her throughout her entire life.
Will this method work for Bulldog?
I don’t see a reason why it wouldn’t
This method is great if your active, but for someone who is elderly or mobility limited like myself this is not a great option. We started using a prong collar on our 11 month old last week and she immediately stopped pulling.
Yup, I completely agree that it’s not a perfect fit for everyone. It’s just a another tool in the toolkit, so to speak
May also try a gentle lead harness. They work great
Another method is to turn in the opposite direction every time they pull. Like Zach said, keep them guessing.
