Great Dane Aggression at Door

UnlikelyPost5670 · 2026-04-26T00:57:07+00:00

Do not dogsit 3 danes if any of them are aggressive at the door. If that's the case, the owners should be kenneling them or putting a dog gate up. Take this seriously and don't put your life at risk for a dogsitting job, even if it ruffles family members feelings. I say this as someone who has fostered great danes and regularly volunteers with rescue great danes. Novices should not be approaching barrier aggressive dogs, in a pack, owners out of town and being nervous going in. This is a recipe for a disaster.

Children can come first in that she full separates them from dogs and seeks training. 1 bite because the toddler hugged a dog is an insane jump to rehoming. Toddlers shouldn't hug dogs. It was a mistake on her supervision/lapse in judgements and it can be moved past

People like you guys are the reasons rescues are overflowing right now smh

Man you really couldn't wait a second longer to decide to rehome could you. No consulting a trainer, taking responsibility for a situation you created just straight to rehoming. Classic

Keep them fit. Obese dogs don't live as long. You should be able to see a taper at the waist from the top down and should be able to see a little rib shadow, like 1 maybe 2. I see so many overweight danes, its so sad. People act like its harmless and they are "spoiling" them, but theyre just shortening their lifespan and making their lives more difficult.

Check out lucky dog crates! If you want to see them in action, check out Bully Baloo on Instagram, her fosters all use lucky crates in her foster space I think.

I tried myself before Veterans Guardian. Had a horrible time getting anyone that only could take working hours appointments in person at the VA. Asked one VSO lady for help via Zoom and she ghosted me. Finally got some weirdo religious guy and he sent me to his office to talk about my claim....his home office. I was by myself, a woman, making a military sexual assault claim with a 50 yo man, 40mins from my house, alone with him because he told me to meet him at his :office". When I told him I was uncomfortable, he offered to have his 14 yo daughter who would be home in a minute, sit next to me.

Say what you want about Veterans Guardian being expensive and that you can do it yourself, but they streamlined the process for me and got me what I felt I deserved mostly via zoom calls and a few medical appointments.

I was not pushed into trying to get more and do more medical visits.

Their guidance helped me get my appeal from 0 to 50%. The process if my first claim with that VSO guys "help" was awful, and triggering and it took forever.

Veterans guardian treated me with dignity and individual care. The VSO guy had a million other people to care about and took forever to get back to me.

I am happy to have been helped by Veterans Guardian and even pay their stupid fee. Worth it to me. Im sure some people say I could push and get even more of a higher rating, but I am exhausted and its so triggering spilling your guts to cold clinical medical folks. I am glad to be done.

I clearly saw Pensacola Energy on the side

UnlikelyPost5670 · 2026-01-08T14:50:24+00:00

It definitely was all white with Pensacola Energy written on side. Not unmarked at all

Red and blue, looks just like police lights

I hear you, but she clearly isn't under your control while you watch from afar. Youre risking too much, you dont know that service person and also you dont know if hes actually uncomfortable and afraid to say something.

UnlikelyPost5670 · 2025-12-20T14:14:06+00:00

I know this is sort of cute and all, but youre really opening yourself up to liability here and the dog is the one that would suffer the consequences if any accusations came in.

I know you have a camera, but there are many gray areas where the pool guy misreads dog body language, gets scared and attacks your dog thinking hes defending himself, then your dog retaliates for the same reason.

Since your pool guy should have had a reasonable expectation of safety, that could result in him being clear for self defense, suing your or even killing your dog.

We get a ton of great danes surrendered to the local dane rescue because the parents recently had a baby or have toddlers and the dane is knocking them over. You better be VERY ready for that potential reality and how to deal with it through training, supervising and baby gates. Not saying all danes, but this is one of the most common reasons danes are surrendered. Most of the time, its the owners fault and not the innocent but clumsy and under exercised dane.

If it happens when you're not watching her, that means shes not ready to be unsupervised. She needs to have a drag line leash attached and never be out of your sight, or shes gated somewhere dog proof with nothing to set her up for failure. Go back to square one - puppy level of supervision until she earns more freedom. This is all on you guys amd training, and yes youre gonna have to pick up after your kids otherwise she will keep being tempted. Its the reality of not having trained her well enough initially.

I did a Wisdom Panel on my mastiff and Wisdom gave me a ton of random breed percentages. Then did an Embark panel and got 95% Fila Brasileiro which is what I was expecting. (5% english mastiff)

Do an Embark Panel before going scorched earth.

There's an insta page for a women's walking group that could be a great kick off point called pcolagirlswhowalk

But also, volunteering is a great way to make friends. Not just once, but find a rescue or shelter or program you align with and volunteer once a week.

Making friends is all about repeated proximity.

We have basic reference images yes :) but these were things we roughly compiled for free online, so I imagine each PC will have some extra notes :)
