Are you looking for ways on how you are going to bond with your Great Dane? Good thing that you found this page. You can try one of these enjoyable activities to create a strong bond with your dog leading to lasting friendship and loyalty.

Walk for a cause.

Walking is a great form of exercise both for you and your dog. Take your dog for a walk daily or at least every other day. It's a great time for you and your dog to bond as well as remain healthy. You will also meet new people along the way and eventually become friends.

Go hiking.

Head for a hiking trail that allows dogs on a leash. Make sure that your dog is protected against fleas and ticks. Bring enough water as well as lunch to keep you and your dog fueled and go on with the hike.

Grooming time.

Grooming not only makes your Great Dane look better but is also important in keeping him healthy. It is one way of discovering health problems (skin, ears, eyes related problems) early on. Your dog will be happy of the time, attention and care you are giving him.

Movies and more.

Watch a movie with your dog where the main actors are dogs. Remember to have a few dog bones for your dog and enough popcorn for you to munch on while watching the movie. Some good movies with dogs as stars are 101 Dalmatians, 102 Dalmatians and Homeward Bound.

Learn new tricks.

Who says you cannot teach a dog new tricks? It's definitely not true! Dogs, despite of old age can learn new tricks provided correct training techniques are used. Your dog will be happy and busy learning the new tricks you taught him.

Make others happy.

Because of this breed's gentle temperament, you can take him to visit people in hospitals, nursing homes, retirement homes, prison, mental institutions, schools especially to special education students and stressful situations like disaster areas. You and your dog can spend time together while helping other people. Inquire first if your dog is allowed in those institutions and the procedures to require for visits.

Pick out a toy.

Ask if your local pet store allows dog into the store. If so, go to the store and let your dog pick his own toy. In this way, you can be sure that your dog truly likes the toy you buy.
