I think Cooper is well-behaved. He HELPS Dad off with his coat. He consistently finishes his people food, even if it's not his favorite meal. And he is happy to share the sofa and bed with the kids. Good boy!
I love this video, but as I was watching the beginning I thought to myself that Cooper needs some boundaries. I’m glad they sought out a trainer. Having a dog is a huge responsibility and a dog that size is like having another human around 😂 Glad to see Cooper responded well to the training. He’s a beautiful dog.
I felt the same way! I'm a vet tech, and Cooper is obviously a sweet, well-intentioned dog with no training whatsoever. He's the type of dog who at work would let me give him vaccines and draw blood without moving a stitch, then accidentally knock my ass right over because he wanted a hug. An absolute prime candidate for kind, positive-reinforcement training!
@Che-e!!! VERY Well said!!! Native Americans claim that wolves are the "teachers". Since dogs descend from wolves, dogs are man's best friends and are our teachers...IF, that is, we observe, listen and respond appropriately. Just as you said!!!! When two people, who are not necessarily otherwise related, say the same thing...I believe that God or the Higher Power is talking to us!! Che-e...Thank You for being the second voice!!!! First, our Native American family members. Second, you! (And, now, you know exactly what I mean with this compliment!)
I’ve known a lot of bars that LOVE dogs. God rest his soul, but EVERYONE loved my Georgie. Every night Arby’s would expect me to come by, so they could give him a HUGE bag of chicken fingers. Nothing for me, but a HUGE bag for my boy. Every afternoon was dog biscuits covered in whipped crème by another place - and I would get scolded for not bringing him by. Taco Time always had plain Mexi Fries for him with a glass of water, and DQ loved to give him a tiny cup filled with whipped crème and dog safe toppings. He really was a treasure, and I’m glad people loved him.
Oh my goodness Cooper is massive-ly adorable 😍 And Grandpa, what a character! 🥰 I couldn’t help but think that trainer was a grandpa trainer instead of a dog trainer lol. What a fun video to watch, I laughed most of the way through. ❤️😍🥰😘❤️
@jenellbarnes4231...I couldn't agree more! 😂 I said something similar in my comment. As for laughing throughout, i think I might be a relative of your family!! I'm STILL laughing partly because of comments like your own!! Thank you for your post!!!!
Back when my husband was dog training, the first thing he'd tell the clients is that he wasn't there to train the dog, he was there to train them!. Training the dog is what the owners do, training the human is what the trainers do.
Of course it's chaos! Look at him! He's 200 pounds of pure love and joy! With a sprinkle of "play with me"! I understand that some people get scared of these dogs (I haven't met one so I'm unsure if I'm one) but look at Cooper! Look at that big face that just exudes "love me" energy!
Dogs make life so much better! Good job, Cooper!! Grandpa, your grandsons are adorable!! Glad you were able to train Cooper. Thank you for the video 💜❤❌⭕
They really do, and this Cooper is a wonderful companion! There is only one flaw. By His size and gray on His face, He won't be with His human much longer. 😔 Great Danes are GREAT!!
I drag a 100 lb red nose pitbull with me everywhere as he is 🐕🦺 service. People get the the begeezes scared out of them when they see him in the grocery isle or just about anywhere. I get some really out there reaction or overreacting 😂 and my Murphy just look at them like "you ok?"😅 I cannot imagine 😄 how some folks respond to this lovely Great Dane Cooper! He is absolutely beautiful and wonderful as well as his owner. Dog people are my people and I absolutely loved this family video. Cooper brings so much to the table....😊 But I think 🤔 he walks away with some off the table as well ❤😂
Cooper is the kind of companion we all need, at least he keeps her Da company and seems to love those kiddos. Eventhough he's a big goofball, hes got lots of love in that big, goofy heart..
This is so precious. I had three dogs and took them everywhere I went. They were my children. If you don't want my dogs you don't want me. Grandpa thank you for caring for this precious animal.
Love that this family put the effort into training. Everyone's happier, including the dog, which makes it a win-win all around. Dogs and animals in general are so much more intelligent than people give them credit for, and far too many people - some even well-meaning - believe physical abuse is the only way to teach. Positive reinforcement and consistency works every time.
Wonderfully fun video! I ❤ this family. Dad and Cooper are so lovable. His daughter is so sweet and a great mom. Kiddies are adorable! I love how Cooper gets into bed with his nephews.😂❤
This video had me in stitches. Cooper is a very big boy but loves his family. Dad is great and seemed to want Cooper to be better in the house. I'm glad they have each other. ❤️💙
I have a boxer/great dane and this entire video sums up my life really well. Lovely family, Cooper is so blessed to be surrounded by such lovely folks.

@Kelly365 Guess you've not been around a Chihuahua! small dogs like them can be the worst of the worst, biters, nervous, barkers, possessive...no kidding!
I feel sure this got said…Cooper having a lovely old Irish grandad as a pet, is so very decent of him. Who else would love and cherish a stray grandpa like Cooper does? Taking him walks, letting him feed occasionally, and sometimes be with his grandchildren, which not all dogs might allow. Yes, maybe a little too much ‘the boss’, but an amazing dog. Take care all.
Cooper keeps grandpa young, active,physically and mentally healthy and happy. Big dogs rock❤
Yesss I agree with you
Yes exactly!
Handsome, too!

Big dogs rule!😂💖

@dad4ever... HILARIOUS!!! I couldn't agree more!! 😂😂😂
😅😅😅
Couldn't have said it better myself 👏 👏 👏 👏👏👏👏👏👏

He’s always willing to give a helping hand
"A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than you love yourself."
unconditional love

Yes 💯
humans set boundaries not dogs use your head
Training the Dad is the real challenge...that and consistency.
Well said .
Cooper, for all his chaos and size, is incredibly gentle. And I laughed the whole way thru this one. Great stuff!
Me too.😂😂
Me three! 😂😊
Same here !
Grandpa just enjoy his life with Cooper, best soulmates forever, this is a beautiful journey for them! ❤
@@htth8633 Agree, thx for your reply :)
"No. They're torture, the both of them."

Dogs are our link to peace. They don't know evil or discontent. And when you sit with a dog and ponder life, it's not boring it was peace.
What a wonderful way of stating our relationship with dogs. ❤
Yes, lawd!!!

As an Irish person who pets every dog I meet, this dog is a 11 out of 10, super cute
Mo dheartáir!! Enda Kenny...Amen!!! Agreed 100%!
He reminds me of my boerboel. My boy is turning 14 July 1st. The vets said they never seen a mastiff so old
God bless him. He’s surpassed the typical lifespan of this beautiful breed. Whatever you’re doing, keep doing it. He’s got to be well healthy. Bless 🙏
@@the54thfloor47 high quality food, Turkey tail mushroom powder
that doesn't sound old at all : (
Wow ! A 14 year old Boerboel ? Amazing. 😂
What a beautiful story! It’s so nice to see pets so well loved. Even better..places that allow a large dog to come in and chill.❤️❤️❤️
😅
😅😅😅
Dad is a funny guy 😂God bless you all

He still is.
@@corneliusdenise IKR? For real!

Cooper is giant precious baby!
❤What a lovely animal companion! Dogs are wonderful
After Cooper (and Dad!) got trained, everybody enjoyed the huge hound so much more! Lots of love in that house. 💞💞💞
Dogs make life so much better! Good job, Cooper!! Grandpa, your grandsons are adorable!! Glad you were able to train Cooper. Thank you for the video 💜❤❌⭕
They really do, and this Cooper is a wonderful companion! There is only one flaw. By His size and gray on His face, He won't be with His human much longer. 😔

So glad Cooper helps keep Grandpa company since his wife died. Dogs are the best companions, even more so when you're going through a rough patch!

You definitely can teach an old dog new tricks. Grandpa is learning well. 😂
Cooper is one big boy!! he is so gentle and loving with his dad
and the grandkids. we didn't hear him bark though. LOL.
Cooper can babysit! So cute ❤
Cooper is the kind of companion we all need, at least he keeps her Da company and seems to love those kiddos. Eventhough he's a big goofball, hes got lots of love in that big, goofy heart..
Dad's got his mate and what could be better than that?!! Cheers Cooper!
Lovely! Both Cooper and the family's wonderful Irish brogue accents ☘
After I lost my wife, my dogs were the only thing that got me through my darkest times. Cooper is a good boy, I love his big face.
That's a whole lotta love! ❤🩷🧡💛💚💙🩵💜
This is so precious. I had three dogs and took them everywhere I went. They were my children. If you don't want my dogs you don't want me. Grandpa thank you for caring for this precious animal.
Grandpa & Cooper = too much fun & happiness ❤

This is a heartwarming story
Cooper is a pretty well-behaved horse now. 🤣👍
OMG 😂😂😂❤
This was so adorably funny!!! Cooper is your Dad's life, that's for sure!!❤❤❤🐾
Cooper is keeping your Dad alive & happy.
BE GRATEFUL !
And cherish every moment. I'm so sad to say this, but with the gray on His face, Cooper will not be around much longer.
Great Danes are GREAT!!
What a loving family. Getting the training both Cooper and Grandpa needed. Cooper is a happy good boy! ❤💞😍
I love how your dad just laughs. 💝
He's a giant sweetheart. Like a pet horse or great dane
Your dad and cooper are living the dream. Their relationship gets me kinda emotional. I probably need a therapist.
Cooper is definitely the boss 😂
2:05 "You can't have it, kiss on the head". Says it all. What a great friend.
Cooper is the best when he’s being the worst😂❤
😂
Haven't had such a hearty laugh in a long time. Good Karma on your family
Thank goodness for subtitles his accent is thick!! ❤ Cooper
Dad's revenge for all those years his kids were also a bit naughty🤭 btw, what a great dad and grand dad💖
Wonderfully fun video!
I ❤ this family. Dad and Cooper are so lovable. His daughter is so sweet and a great mom. Kiddies are adorable! I love how Cooper gets into bed with his nephews.😂❤
Dad is safe! Welll worth the chaos! ❤
What a great, big, beautiful dog.
Think the dog is fine it's the daughter and grandkids who need training. 😂😂😂❤
FACTS!!!!!!!!!
Oh how i love Grandpas laugh. He has the best laugh. And the love he has for his family and Cooper is priceless. Beautiful story.
Big dogs make the world a better place❤
Both Cooper and grandpa sure did need some training. It is truly heart-warming to see grandpa so happy! Dogs really can make a difference 😍
He's such a sweet boy, he only takes food that's offered to him 🥰
Go Cooper!!!
Aww, dawg issa big baby
This video had me in stitches.
Cooper is a very big boy but loves his family. Dad is great and seemed to want Cooper to be better in the house. I'm glad they have each other.
❤️💙
What a great dog!!!!!!!!!!!! Grandpa and Cooper are just fine!!!!! Love Cooper!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
I am not kidding… would love to see more Cooper videos!!!!
Ha, ha, ha, this is delightful. Grandpa and Cooper are quite the pair of buddies ❤️👍🦮
I have a boxer/great dane and this entire video sums up my life really well.
Lovely family, Cooper is so blessed to be surrounded by such lovely folks.
I love it! No alpha dog nonsense, no negative reinforcement or punishment, just lots of love and treats. A win win.
You hit the nail on the head. Coopers a sweetheart but most people don’t see it.
Now, that's a beautiful GIANT ❤❤❤❤
So funny and cute...i love Cooper and his grandpa, thank you for the trainer and grandpa's daughter.
hahaha sooo cute!! Cooper you naughty boy 🤣🤣🤣🤣
how could you not love cooper? beautiful irish family.
Agreed 💯!
Look at how two of the little dog friends were keenly following big Cooper (5:18). So cute.
Thank you for respecting his life 💜

Cooper es el jefe de manada, hace y deshace y lo disfruta, encantador, su familia humana vive feliz con tantas buenas vibraciones de Cooper.

What a lovely man. It's wonderful that he has Cooper, but I'm sure that his daughter is wishing that Cooper was a chihuahua. 😂

@@elisemiller13 Hi Elise. Cheers for the reply. I was just making reference to Cooper's large size. Sorry.
Cooper would be perfect with some training. So would Grandpa. ❤
I have never seen a dog that big!! Looks like a teenager, gotta love him.
I love the way Cooper climbs in bed with Archie and he's bigger than the bed! So cute!
Oh my. ❤ Love this guy and his dog. Needed a good laugh. 😅
Cooper is so loving and sweet and playful 😍
Great Danes are gentle goofy giants that love children. :)
I love dad’s realization that the trainer is 1/2 there to train him. His face is perfect 2:56
Cooper can do no wrong in dad's eyes. He's dad's angel. ❤️
Cooper gets a lot of love❤❤❤
Adorable and congrats on training success (Cooper AND Dad)!
It was wonderful seeing the boys going from nervous around Cooper to loving being around him!
Cooper had me laughing so hard! He's truly the boss! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Cooper - and Dad - what characters!
Good boy Cooper! He is such a BEAUTIFUL dog, I LOVE HIM.
Nice to see Grandpa paying more attention to his grandkids, and doing so while training and getting Cooper to obey♥️
Cooper's head is above the countertop when just standing around on all four paws 😮
Most dogs can only dream of having access like that 😅
I love everything about this! Those two need their own show. Happy Father’s Day to Cooper’s dad! ❤
I love 💕 this breed Great Danes are soo human LIKE their larger than life personality 😂
What a beautiful family!!
I just love mini horses in the form of a dog! Good dog Cooper for rocking his training, keep up the great work Grandpa!🐕🤎

That’s like having a pony in the house!
