Walking a Great Dane

Danes are giants that grow fast; many owners keep puppy outings gentle and short while they develop.

Moderate energyenergy level — general orientation

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.
