Exercise
Now this is a minefield out there and this is personal to
us. It what works for us.
This goes by age of Dane as you can walk your dog from 12
weeks. Not just in the garden but she will greatly benefit from the training
there.
No forced exercise at all till 6 months and as much as free
play as they want they will tell you when tired.
JUMPING
No jumping is allowed at all not till he is over 18 months
because of joints. Please this is
important over jumping and climbing of stairs as in not allowed as you can and
will damage the bones as they are soft and pliable so easily broken.
I ask you to put up baby gates where there is stairs as
precaution as puppies are naturally nosy and will climb up to see what is
there.
Do not allow your Dane to jump on couches, chairs or beds as
their joints are still pliable. No jumping up on you either is to be encouraged
as again it can damage the joints.
If in a flat please be aware of the stairs and supervise at
ALL times. If bouncy put him on lead and take down slowly and same back up. Make sure that the flooring you use isn’t of
the slippy kind.
Not to frighten you it will cost you in excess of £2-5,000
for fixing broken limbs a long stay at the vets and a long haul of
recovery.
Over exercise is not on either as again you can hurt the
joints of your pup. Please do not walk
and walk with your Dane Pup if you have a long walk planned take into account
the age of Dane and go accordingly. As
in lots of breaks for him and drinks too.
Please do not run with your puppy either again this is to do
with joints and growing. Running isn’t
allowed till he is also over 18 months.
Zoomies are when they have a mad 10 minutes if they go OTT
stop them with a firm no and even standing near them remember to jump out of
the way now though.
House flooring
If you have wooden or marble flooring I ask you to put rugs
down in case your dog falls as this will damage tendons and joints over time if
he does it a lot and we know Danes love doing zoomies so rugs are a must that
don’t slide about. This will save you in
the long term on vet bills.
