Walking a Great Dane
Danes are giants that grow fast; many owners keep puppy outings gentle and short while they develop.
Gentle giants with lower endurance than their size might suggest. Avoid extended walks in heat and be mindful of joint stress during the growth phase — the puppy guideline applies longer for this giant breed. Moderate, predictable routes tend to suit them better than highly varied terrain. Their stride is long and relaxed; most Danes are pleasant, easygoing walking companions.
