I'm Gavin and I'm the proud owner/daddy of a 3 year old great dane named Annie. She's one of my favorite parts of my day and Annie and I have spent the past few years training.
I'm currently thinking about broadening our training to include therapy requirements because Annie is so gentle that she'd make an excellent therapy dog and loves to go and say hello to everyone.
I'm looking forward to talking to you all and give some advice on training dogs since I've been doing pretty well with Annie and have helped with a couple of classes.
Hi Gavin, and welcome! I won't be able to offer any training advice, having never trained a Dane or even the lab/hound mix we used to have. But I'm looking forward to hearing about your experiences with Annie. The idea of you sharing your sweet friend with others for comforting purposes is a wonderful thought!
