Some form of basic training or obedience class is essential for your dog so that both of you can enjoy a harmonious life together. The training will also help the dog to fit into your family lifestyle.

A dog belongs to the animal kingdom and will behave differently from human. It will need to be domesticated or trained to blend into your daily family lifestyle.

Please do not assume that because you have chosen a small and mild mannered dog, it will automatically behave itself. Though a breed of dog has similar characteristics but each dog has its own personality too.

Identifying your dog’s mood plays important role in his everyday life…

No matter how intelligent you or your Great Dane is, it is usually difficult to identify what this sweet creature is feeling. A Great Dane, along with other animals, does not have the capacity to tell people what exactly they are feeling. Sometimes, animals are considered as plain creatures good at wagging their tails or barking out loud during the night. But, animals like dogs communicate in more ways than some people might imagine. A Great Dane has a variety of ways to express his feelings using all parts of his body. Understanding what your dog is trying to tell you will definitely create a happy relationship that could last for years.

Dog attacks are reaching epidemic proportions. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report that 4.5 to 4.7 million dog bites take place in the United States alone. Of these cases, approximately 756,000 require medical attention.

The majority of dog bite victims are children age 10 and under. Others susceptible to dog attacks are the elderly, postal carriers and others who routinely make “house calls” such as meter readers. The commonly held myth that strays are the culprits of most dog attacks is a fallacy. The reality is, the perpetrator of most dog bites are not strays, but the family dog. In fact, you are more likely to be attacked by your own dog or the dog of your friend or neighbor. The stereotype of a vicious dog lurking in the alleyway, ready to pounce on an unsuspecting victim, needs to be dispelled. Only then, can the issue of dog bites and their prevention be adequately addressed.
