Right off the bat our Great Dane Puppy Training article can make those first few nights go a little easier.

Puppy Nutrition

What you feed your Great Dane puppy now will play a major role in development, namely, the rate your puppy grows to achieve its genetically programmed size.

e want to reach that size at a slow, steady pace to avoid complications with legs bowing and swollen, painful metacarpals.

Speaking of size, use our Great Dane Growth Chart to monitor the growth of your Dane and compare progress to breed averages.

Key to slow steady growth is to avoid high protein, high calorie kibble (We actually feed RAW). For additional information on Great Dane diet & nutrition including good brands for a Great Dane puppy don't miss our "Great Dane Diet" section following the link provided on our "Main Navigation Menu".

Puppy Training & Great Dane Training

Always start early with training, at least basic obedience. Something as simple as a "sit stay" is fine and any training is better than none. Great Danes can be a train wreck simply because they have the size and power to do so. Always condition calm in your puppy to the best of your ability. Follow tips and techniques discussed in our Great Dane Puppy Training article.
