Our home is livened by the lives of three Harlequin Great Danes and a lil rescued mini-mutt. For Saber (our mini) the dogs are his herd. I would have to say I think his favorite among the dogs is ...

You may want to find a common treat they both like (Nilla Wafers - Mini size) are a hit here.
And in the beginning have your mini in its pen and your pooch outside the pen and give treats to both.
First to the horse then to the pooch.

Do this frequently... by doing this both critters will associate that these special treats happen only when they are both together.

That's the starter.

my collie is not really that interested, he is more interested in me throwing something for him, a bit nervous when the mini comes over, the mini shows interest in him has a sniff and nudge.
My mini tended to chase the cats a bit when i got him but has relaxed a bit more now because they are always only lying a few feet away. He has a lovely nature and has accepted every thing we have done with him so far, he follows me around like a wee dog and even comes into the house sometimes to say hi.
my dog is a softy he would not hurt a fly, generally he tends to ignore anything else around him focusing on his stone instead. I would just like my mini to be accepting of my dogs presence and hopefully not chase him as i like to take him to my mums for a visit where he will be in the garden with the dog.

First of all what do your mini & dog think of each other?
Is one overly interested in the other or more reluctant to interact with?

What sort of personalities do both of them have?
What is there activity & intelligent levels? I mean how would you describe them?

Is your BC treat motivated?
I'm assuming your mini enjoys treats ;)

Hi there, love your page. Your mini is gorgeous and looks like a pleasure to be around. I have not had my mini long, he is only coming 2 next month. Just like your mini i plan in the future to transport him in a van. I think its great the friendship he has with the Great Dane they look great together, if you have any tips you could give me on how to get my mini Sparky to accept my boarder collie that would be great. Great Photos!

I had great danes for a while. I loved them so much! Now, I have this sheltie named Darla, the one in the picture. She's wonderful. I grew up riding. Both of my grandpa's were veterinarians. Horses ran in my family. (pun intended)
The first horse I bought of my own was a 6 month old quarter horse, when I was 12. I had him 26 years. He was the best!!!

I am looking for a logo (horse related) with farm name Trinity Ridge Farm=TRF. Not sure what though. I bet you'd have an idea. Do you have a direct link to horse related samples?

I thought about doing CT and actually was starting some with him for things but honestly felt I didn't have enough hands so switched to verbal cues.
There still was a treat reward .. which is Nilla Wafers.

The reason I say I didn't have enough hands were to train Saber a sit I used my arm cradled behind him that I'd gently pull inward above his hocks as he pushed outward with his rump.

An exercise of trust.
He trusted me that I would support him & keep him safe and I trusted him not to kick.

When we 1st started sitting he started in the house on a mattress on the floor.

His sit is from a stand.. not a down then sit up.

About my art THANKS! :)
I also have Great Dane art that can be seen at
