The Great Dane is a dream dog for many, known for its loving and calm character. These gentle giants are very people-oriented and get along well with children and other pets. They excel at promoting the well-being of their family, making them excellent companions. Thanks to their sensitivity and desire to please, they are highly trainable. With positive reinforcement and early socialization, they grow into well-rounded and adaptable dogs. Though Great Danes are large, they need daily exercise to stay healthy and happy. Adult Danes should get 30 to 60 minutes of daily walks, while puppies and young dogs need around 90 minutes of activity. A large yard for play is beneficial, but care should be taken not to over-exert them during their growing years, ensuring healthy bones and joints. Overall, Great Danes are gentle and affectionate companions. They need space, family connection, and regular exercise to thrive. They are not suited for small apartments, but with proper care, they become a joyful addition to any home.
