Great Danes Put Down Their Forks

Most Great Danes I have had the pleasure of training and spending time with, know how to eat. They eat slowly when compared to other dogs (and some humans). It is more of a process for them.

I can almost hear them saying “this is good!” or “this doesn’t taste right.” Looking back to make sure they are being acknowledged for their thoughts and comments regarding dinner. Their plate is full and as if to know that no one would even consider slipping in to get a bite as they stroll away from their meal to take a breath.

If they hear something that needs addressing as they eat, they will leave to investigate in case it is a matter that needs their attention.

I think of it as them putting their fork down. Don’t be fooled into thinking they have had enough just because they take a break and walk away. They will in time circle back to their dinner and continue where they left off. We can learn from them. Not that we should leave the table and circle back; however, putting our fork down between bites, is a much healthier way to eat.

A Great Dane makes kibble drizzled with warm water worthy of eating slow and enjoying every bite – unless, of course, they are called to take action! (Wait, they’ll be back)
