Yeti exposes the real problem behind squirrel-chasing: distraction. He compares dogs vs squirrels to humans vs notifications and explains why chasing every little thing keeps you from what actually matters.

Highlights:

Why dogs obsess over squirrel

The “squirrel effect” in human life

How to ignore taunts and temptations

Choosing one real goal instead of 12 fake ones

Yeti breaks down the legendary “Great Dane head tilt” and reveals it’s not confusion at all—it’s analysis. He shows humans how to use the same pause-and-observe technique to make better decisions and avoid unnecessary drama.

Highlights:

What dogs are actually doing when we tilt our heads

Different types of tilts and what they mean

How to pause instead of react like a human

Curiosity as an emotional superpower

In this crossover episode, Yeti reports from an estate sale as the unofficial Great Dane greeter, watching humans speed-walk, overthink prices, and emotionally attach to random objects.

From pricing panic (“this feels like it should be $8”) to dramatic negotiations and sentimental teapots, Yeti breaks down what estate sales reveal about human behavior: value, attachment, and the fear of letting go.

With big-dog logic and estate-sale chaos, this episode delivers real wisdom:

Perfect for fans of GRDa...

Yeti defends the Great Dane lifestyle: long naps, heavy sighs, zero guilt. He explains why humans treat rest like a weakness, how that backfires, and how adopting “Nap Rights” could fix moods, relationships, and productivity.

Highlights:

The science of “flop and recharge.”

Why tired humans act like overstimulated small dogs

How to permit yourself to rest

What a “Nap Rights Amendment” would look like

Yeti uses the humble leash to teach some big life lessons. From boundaries and safety to control and connection, this episode shows how walking a dog mirrors how we handle relationships, time, and emotional limits.

Highlights:

Why leashes are really about safety, not punishment

The illusion of control on dog walks

How “slack in the leash” is a model for healthy relationships

Why humans need stronger boundaries and fewer burnout sprints

In this episode, Yeti calls out a funny human habit: asking dogs questions we absolutely cannot answer. From “Who made this mess?” to “Are you okay?”, Yeti explains what humans really mean, what dogs actually hear, and how to ask better questions — to dogs and to yourself.

Highlights:

Why “Who did this?” is the world’s worst detective question

The truth behind “Do you want a treat?”

What “Are you okay?” reveals about human anxiety

Better questions to ask dogs… and your own brain

In this episode of Dane’s Delight by Yeti, Yeti explains why dogs — especially Great Danes — make better therapists than humans. From unconditional presence and nervous-system-level comfort to boundary-setting and guilt-free naps, Yeti breaks down “canine therapy” in a funny but surprisingly accurate way.

Highlights:

Why dogs treat your nervous system, not just your story

The power of silent, slobbery listening

How Great Danes model healthy boundaries

A simple “treatment plan” you can steal from dog logic

Episode Summary:

In this episode of Dane’s Delight by Yeti, your favorite big-dog philosopher breaks down the difference between Big Dog Confidence and Small Dog Attitude — and why humans tend to act like tiny yappers when life gets stressful.

Yeti explains the quiet power behind true confidence, how big dogs remain calm without performing for attention, and why humans often default to loud insecurity.

You’ll learn how to borrow Great Dane logic to handle stress, drama, and nonsense with giant-dog peaceful energy.

Episode Summary:

In today’s episode, Yeti — your favorite brindle Great Dane philosopher — explains why Great Danes would absolutely make better politicians than humans. From honest sniff-based diplomacy to calm leadership, zero drama debates, and campaign promises built on snacks and integrity, this episode breaks down politics the dog way: simple, calm, loyal, and absolutely hilarious.

Humans argue, posture, and shout.

Great Danes sit, observe, and use head tilts as psychological weapons.

And honestly? That’s the leadership the world needs.

Grab your snacks and stop overthin...

In this episode, Yeti dives into the dramatic world of human overreactions — from their panic-inducing sneezes to the way they behave when a giant Great Dane slurps water too loudly. With deadpan humor, Yeti breaks down why humans treat everyday events like catastrophic emergencies while dogs handle chaos with quiet dignity (mostly).

Hey human — it’s Yeti.

In this episode of Dane’s Delight by Yeti, we’re not talking about the exam room… we’re talking about the place where the real drama happens:

the vet lobby.

This is the zone where:

cats think the revolution starts at 3:15pm

tiny dogs vibrate like malfunctioning drones

birds question their life choices

humans panic like they’re filing taxes in public

And then I walk in.

Silence. Whispers. ESPN-level weigh-in coverage.

But here’...

Think of it this way: your eyes are great for seeing things, right? You see a sign that says "No pooping!" and you understand it. My nose reads that sign in a thousand different ways. It’s not just a "no pooping" sign; it’s a "Fifi the poodle was here, she had salmon for breakfast, and she's a little anxious about something" sign. Fascinating, right?

We also use our noses to explore. The world is just bursting with scents! Every new smell is an adventure. Is it a new restaurant opening down the street? *sniffs* Oh, glor...

Can you teach old Great Danes New Tricks?

So, to recap my Dane-tastic safety tips for a happy home:

1. Elevate and Secure: Keep food, chemicals, and small items well out of our reach. If a Great Dane can reach it, it's not truly "out of reach

2. Traction Action: Add rugs or non-slip surfaces to prevent slips and slides.

3. Cord Control: Secure all electrical cords to prevent chewing hazards.

4. Clear the Floor: Small items are choking risks. Keep your floors tidy!

5. Outdoor Fortress: Ensure secure fencing and check for toxic plants.

6. Door Duty: Use gates to...

1. **Be Observant:** You know your Dane best. Notice any changes in their scratching, licking, skin condition, or bathroom habits.

2. **Don't Hesitate to Visit the Vet:** They are the professionals, the wisest humans with all the fancy diagnostic tools. They can rule out other issues and guide you through the process.

3. **Patience with the Elimination Diet:** It’s tough. It’s boring. It might make your Dane look at you with the most judgmental eyes you’ve ever seen. But it’s the gold standard for identifying food allergies. Stick with it!

4. **Become a Label De...

The trick is vigilance. Regular vet check-ups—another fun technical term: preventive care—help catch any weather-related issues before they turn me from goofy sidekick to tragic hero. When in doubt, err on the side of comfort. Remember, I can’t text you when I’m too hot or cold, but I can give you the sad eyes. Trust me, they’re powerful.

So, keep an eye out for warning signs, and together, we’ll beat the heat and freeze with style. After all, I’m happiest when I’m healthy—and plotting my next snack heist!

My job involves visiting places where humans might be feeling a bit down – hospitals, nursing homes, even libraries during exam season. You wouldn’t believe the stress those students are under! But then, I arrive, a beacon of calm and drool, and suddenly, shoulders relax, smiles appear, and the sound of gentle petting fills the air.

It’s enriching. Though I must admit, the belly rubs are a significant perk. And the occasional dropped cracker? Pure professional dedication.

While my human laces up those weird paw covers and gets ready for another adventure, I’m already bouncing around because I know we’re going exploring! My tail is wagging so hard it might knock over a tree. But what happens if we run into something scary on the trail, like a squirrel that refuses to be chased?

Don’t worry – my human always brings water for both of us, and I’ve got my super nose to sniff out any trouble. Additionally, my long legs are ideal for stepping over rocks and logs. So, are we ready to sni...

Now, I know what you’re thinking. “But doesn’t all that noise make you nervous?” Well, let me tell you something – I LOVE our movie nights! Sure, sometimes I get a little jumpy when I hear a doorbell sound on TV (because, obviously, I need to protect the house from fictional visitors), but mostly it’s awesome.

Music is pretty great too. I’ve got to admit, I’m not a massive fan of heavy metal – all that banging hurts my sensitive ears. But put on some nice jazz or classical music? Now we’re talking! It makes me feel relaxed...

To sum up, getting walked by my humans isn’t just some boring daily thing—it’s the best part of my day! It strengthens our friendship and keeps my large body healthy. When my humans pay attention to whether I’m a bouncy puppy or a wise old dog, they make sure every walk is perfect for me.

So, humans, grab those leashes and let’s have some fun! After all, isn’t life way better when you have a gentle giant like me as your walking buddy? Together, we can turn every walk into the most exciting a...

Woof! So there you have it – keeping my giant paws looking good is super important for my health and happiness. When my humans learn the correct way to trim my nails, it makes everything so much better for both of us. Trust me, it’s not just about making me look fancy – it’s about keeping me comfortable so I can run around without my nails hurting. I know nail trimming can be scary at first, but if my humans stay calm and patient, we can actually make it fun! With practice, my nail care time might even become something I lo...

Hello, hello! And welcome - to Danes Delight, the podcast where I, your friendly neighborhood Great Dane, Yeti, tell you what life looks like from down at paw level, though let’s be honest, I’m taller than most coffee tables. Some even say I’m a sofa with legs.

Today we’re diving into a question humans love to wonder about: How many words does a dog like me actually understand? Spoiler alert: it’s more than you think, and sometimes a lot less, depending on how distracted I am by snacks.

You humans are a funny b...

How to Keep Your Great Dane From Escaping - Great Dane Tips

The most challenging part of owning a Great Dane is knowing when to let them go.

Welcome back, everyone, to another episode of Danes Delight! I’m Yeti, your giant lapdog host with paws bigger than your dinner plate. Today we’re wading into a tender topic—one every Great Dane, and especially our devoted humans, must face eventually: Great Danes & Euthanasia.

Let’s set the scene. We Danes are built for grandeur—long legs, deep chests, massive hearts. I’ve been told more than once I take up the whole couch, and frankly, I consider tha...

Great Danes are clingy dogs. Tips on how to prevent Separation Anxiety.

Woof! Welcome back to Danes Delight, the podcast where everything is better when you're looking down at it from six feet tall. I'm your host, Yeti.  

Today, we're talking about something that hits close to home for a lot of us four-legged friends - separation anxiety. Now, I know what you're thinking: "Yeti, you're a Great Dane, you're practically the size of a small horse, what could you possibly be anxious about? 

 Well, my friends, size doesn't matter when...

To summarize, welcoming a Great Dane into our family can be as rewarding as opening a door to a world of companionship and love. By understanding their needs and characteristics, we can guarantee a harmonious life together. With their affectionate nature, these gentle giants can become the heart of our home, just like a cozy fireplace that brings warmth and comfort. With the proper care and attention, our Great Dane will thrive, enriching our lives for years.

Commercial puzzle toys represent one practical approach to cognitive enhancement. Yet, homemade mental stimulation activities offer cost-effective alternatives that we can customize specifically for each Great Dane’s cognitive profile and behavioral patterns.

We can construct homemade puzzles using cardboard boxes, toilet paper tubes, and treat-dispensing mechanisms that require problem-solving behaviors. Sensory games incorporating different textures, scents, and auditory stimuli activate multiple neural pathways simultaneously.

Additionally, incorporating adaptive intelligence in these activities can help enhance your Great Dane’s problem-solving skills and overall cognitive development.

So you want more than 1 Great Dane. Find out more about having multiple Great Danes in the same house.

When Great Danes cohabitate within the same household, their social hierarchies are established through subtle behavioral cues rather than overt dominance displays.

We’ll observe these gentle giants developing intricate communication cues that maintain the stability of the pack mentality. Their dominance hierarchy emerges through controlled, playful interactions and strategic positioning during the distribution of shared re...

Can Great Danes get along with cats? They sure can, and my household is proof. Mocha put Pippens down. Anyway, cats and Great Danes do share some commonalities.

Cats require elevated vertical spaces and secure retreat zones, while Great Danes need substantial horizontal territory for movement and rest. We’ll designate separate feeding stations, sleeping areas, and elimination zones to prevent resource guarding behaviors.

Territory boundaries should include cat-exclusive elevated perches, dog-specific ground-level spaces, and neutral zones for supervised interaction between cats and dogs.

Resource allocation involves providing duplicate water sources, multiple litter boxes po...

Now, you might be thinking, "Yeti, what does a Great Dane know about road trips?" Well, let me tell you, I've logged more miles than a long-haul trucker, and I have the drool stains on the car windows to prove it! 

Now, before we dive into the juicy details of my latest adventure, let’s take a moment to appreciate the sheer magnificence of my stature. As a Great Dane, I am not just any passenger; I am the passenger! I require ample space—a king-sized throne, if you will. But alas, my human insists on cramming me in...

Yeti covers several reasons why a Great Dane is a welcome addition to the family. He includes his dog humor in his video.

Listen, when my time comes to chase endless tennis balls in the great backyard beyond, I want your family to remember how I made your house a home. Sure, I knocked over a few things with my enthusiasm and left drool art on your windows, but I gave you something priceless – unconditional love wrapped in a gentle giant’s heart. That’s the Great Dane promise, and we always deliver.

Early exposure to your family’s daily chaos helps me build confidence and makes me even better with your little humans.
