Did you know Great Dane dogs, just like any other dog breeds are highly intelligent creatures. They have the capacity to read and understand your body language, but many pet owners overlook that reality. What our body language shows has a major impact on how well a dog will listen and obey our commands. With the correct form of body language, your dog can quickly realize what behavior to act in a given situation.

Let say for example you got overexcited Great Dane dogs who are fond of jumping on every guest who come to visit you. This is common to most dogs at some point in time. They are overwhelmed with happiness and excitement every time they notice that somebody is standing at your door. Your dog will wonder whether or not the newcomer wants to play with him. They are curious about the treats, even the smell and how they are going to react in that given situation.

You, on the other hand are doing your best to get your dog to stop being so excited and jumping on everyone. You started yelling at him but instead of controlling him, this approach only adds to his excitement. You gave harsh and loud 揙ff?commands but it抯 not working. What is supposed to be a peaceful intention turns into a big chaotic party.

Why chaotic party? This is because to your dog you are just joining in on the fun and excitement that he is feeling. Your Great Dane misunderstood your body language and the way you are communicating with him. Instead of changing your dog抯 behavior, you are only making the situation worst.

Given the above example, you now realize that your body language and excitability only made your Great Dane dogs feel more stimulated about what they are doing. All you need to do to make the situation better is to take a different approach, no matter what action you are trying to communicate with your dog. Below are some useful tips that you can use when dealing in situations like this.

1. Avoid chasing your pet even if you are angry with him. You may be upset with them, but to your dog, he thinks that you are playing a game and he needs to run in order to be in the game.

2. Show a very bold and upright body position when giving your dog a command. Simply stand up, chest forward and head back. Your Great Dane dog will have a slight bit of intimidation and you will gain more respect from him.

3. Being aggressive will only worsen the problem. The best thing for you to do is to move slowly and talk in a soothing tone of voice. Display the same behavior you wish him to use. This will calm him down and will be easier for you to change his behavior.
