Dog Health Questions: Dog training help!!!!?

I have a 3 year old Chihuahua and a 4 month old Great Dane and whenever the GD comes close to the Chi she gets scared and starts to bark and scratch at the GD. The Great Dane is just trying to play with her but since hes already a big dog he comes of as trying to attack her. I've been looking in to training classes but I just want to know is there anything I could do to help them get along?

An Overview Of The 3 Most Common Dog Training Methods

Recommended Answer:
Walk them together as much as possible with a leash each. You can't blame the poor little thing for being scared of a huge Great Dane coming at you, put yourself in your Chihuahua's shoes, I know I would get palpitations from it. Try walking them, I read it in a book.

Hunting Dog Supplies Can Help Ensure Proper Dog Training and a Successful Hunt

• Can you get the Dane to drop down in front of the Chi and keep him in a submissive position in front of the Chi? If she has the ability to aproach the larger dog without having the fear of being stepped on or attacked then it should help her learn not to fear the larger dog. You might have to keep her on leash to stop her running away, but let her approach the larger dog in her own time.


• First the dane must learn the chi doesn't want to play. Then the chi can get over the fear. If the Dane starts trying to play redirect him to play with you or walk in between them and ask him to Lay down. If you need to make him drag a leash you fan step on.
  
  Walk them together so the chi can have fun while the dane is around. Eventually the Dane will learn the chi doesn't want to play and when that happens the chi will stop being scared.


• try bathing them together or love on them at the same time keep them so they are forced to be together so the chi know the Great Dane means no harm


• I would suggest severing your Great Dane's legs.
