        This is actually what it is.

        People always let puppies on their lap and the dog doesn’t understand why they’re suddenly not allowed in the lap it’s always been allowed in.

        In fact most training is best done as a pup because that’s when they learn the best

      The couch is the only “dog bed” that’s a comfy size. The fact that it’s already occupied is just a minor inconvenience. Plus, dogs like to be close.

    I’m 6’6", I’ve always wanted a dog that could put its paws on my shoulders and look me in the eye.

    That dog looks like it could do that!

      I’m pretty sure that dog could carry you around in between its paw pads and completely forget you’re there.

      First thing you want to teach Great Dane is not to jump on you. They are big and heavy dogs who don’t realize they are big and heavy. Add playfulness to that and it’s a recipe for hurt.

          Yeah but you can tell his dog is still heavy because when he starts running, it takes like 5 steps in place before he actually moves

      Great Danes can definitely do that. They are couch potatoes who unfortunately have short lives.

      Unpopular opinion, but I detest word art.

      ‘Detest’ is a word, a word that is being used, um… strongly. Could it perhaps be being used, overly so?

      You are entitled to your opinion, but it seems a little hostile to voice it here in that way. What value do comments like this add?

      Scooby-Doo would a word with you…he just enjoyed some things in the past that are now legal in most U.S. states. That doesn’t make him, or his relatives “disgusting”!

        Been around these disgusting things enough, they smell, always drooling all over the place. Taking massive horse sized shits. Nasty dogs. Not for me.

          Humans stink, drool, and take horse sized shits, too. Great Danes are more loyal and friendly, though. I mean I understand not wanting to home one, but hating them for existing seems weird.
