Answer 1

dont be afriad of them and show them who is boss!!!!!

Answer 2

Ignore the dog when you come home and she's excited. Just turn around, and act like she's not eve there when she jumps up. When she calms down, then greet her and pet her. She will eventually learn that jumping gets her no attention but being calm does.

At 11 weeks your pup needs lots of toys that are okay to chew on. If you see her going for something she's not allowed to have, redirect her to something she can have.

With a dog this size you definitely need to be in control. I would suggest taking her to a puppy training class.

Answer 3

You and puppy need training.

In general, except for a few occasions, dogs should be positively affirmed by receiving little bits of treats when they behave properly. There needs to be a lot of "good dog." If she hid your slippers 2 hours ago, she will not understand when you discipline her now. If she jumps at you, lift your knee. It will hit her breastbone. She'll be done w/ that.

Is she not kenneled while you are out of the house? Kong w/ peanut butter inside then frozen? Should keep her busy for a while. She will need lots of exercise.

I have a signal that goes off when I see my dog doing something she shouldn't--AAAA! When she hears me say that, she stops in her tracks.

Good luck. Get that puppy under control before he's bigger than you.

With a dog that large, you need to take her to obedience
school and learn how to train her yourself at home. I have
seen that dogs will learn to obey tasks and such after they
have learned the simple things of heeling and fetching and
no jumping up on people.
Danes tend to be very gentle dogs and need just as much
love and attention as a small dog. In fact, they also like to lay
on couches too, thinking they are smaller dogs than they are.
I'd leave the teaching to a professional who you can learn
from. And minimize the trauma and frustration from trying to
teach her on your own. Just from observation of dogs over
the years, and also at the dog park where several run and
play.

Answer 5

In this situation, you should do the following. Take a newspaper or a large magazine, roll it up tightly, and then proceed to hit yourself over the head with it while saying loudly, "I should have been watching the dog."

In all seriousness, the problem you have here is one that you are creating by letting your dog have free reign of your household.

In a dog pack, your dog should be with you, or at least within sight at all times. When that's the case, it's easy to correct her for chewing things and hiding, because you can see her go up to them.

When you see that, clap your hands and say loudly, "Uh-uh!" or "No" or whatever you want your "don't do that" command to be. A loud noise like "ACK" or "PFUI" works better than "no" in many cases because it gets your dog's attention better (I assume you, like most people, use no for other things as well, but would probably only use the "no sound" for your dog - that makes things easier to understand for her). It Also works for jumping on company.

If you don't want to constantly pay attention to your dog, you may want to consider removing the temptation depending on what she chews on and such

Answer 6

Positive reinforcement!! It's really the best, most efficient way to train. Ignore her when she trys to jump on you...teach her to sit and when she does, give her lots of attention. The chewing is a puppy thing....best way around that is not to leave anything around your house that she can chew. I have owned dogs for many years, and I have gotten to the point that I "think" like a dog. I make sure shoes and slippers are picked up and put in a closet, I don't leave anything around that would be appealing for her to chew. Watch her when she is out. Confine her when you are gone. When you leave her alone, make sure she has lots of doggie things to chew like rawhides and toys to play with so she doesn't get bored. The hiding of slippers is cute....make it a game. When she hides them say "where are my slippers?" in a upbeat voice to get her excited. Look for them and have her look for them with you. When you find them say "there are my slippers!" in a happy upbeat voice and then give her a treat. Eventually, this could be a game that you and she play together. Dogs love to interact with their owners in that way. And last but not least...enjoy her....puppies are so fun and they don't stay puppies for long!

Answer 7

Make SURE you get the jumping under control now, because that will be a huge problem when she is full grown. When she jumps just make her sit and say NO. As far as the chewing, she is a puppy and will grow out of it. For now just buy her lots of chew toys.

Answer 8

danes are very intelligent so normal corrections will work. it is still a baby even though it may not look like one don't forget that

Answer 9

there is a spray 4 dogs and you spray it on things that she chews and it tasty bitter and fro the other things you tap her on the snout and say NO
