Meet Blaze, a spirited and affectionate young girl with a big personality! She is highly treat-motivated, already knows "sit," and absolutely loves interacting with people. Blaze walks well on a leash, enjoys playful romps, and happily leans into hugs and attention from her handlers. Despite showing some initial kennel stress, her demeanor has improved significantly, becoming loose, wiggly, and very affectionate.
As a Great Dane, Blaze possesses a naturally high energy level, requiring ample physical and mental stimulation. This breed is known for its intelligence, athleticism, and playful nature, often described as gentle giants. While she can get overstimulated and jump, she responds well to verbal corrections and guidance, indicating her eagerness to learn. With consistent positive reinforcement and clear boundaries, Blaze will continue to develop excellent impulse control and thrive.
Blaze is searching for an experienced adopter who is familiar with active dog breeds and committed to continued training. Her ideal home will provide clear boundaries, consistent training, and plenty of physical and mental enrichment to help her channel her energy constructively. A supportive environment where she can decompress from kennel stress will also be crucial. Blaze is a loving and playful companion ready to bring joy, energy, and fun to the right family!
