I think Cooper is well-behaved. He HELPS Dad off with his coat. He consistently finishes his people food, even if it's not his favorite meal. And he is happy to share the sofa and bed with the kids. Good boy!
I love this video, but as I was watching the beginning I thought to myself that Cooper needs some boundaries. I’m glad they sought out a trainer. Having a dog is a huge responsibility and a dog that size is like having another human around 😂 Glad to see Cooper responded well to the training. He’s a beautiful dog.
I felt the same way! I'm a vet tech, and Cooper is obviously a sweet, well-intentioned dog with no training whatsoever. He's the type of dog who at work would let me give him vaccines and draw blood without moving a stitch, then accidentally knock my ass right over because he wanted a hug. An absolute prime candidate for kind, positive-reinforcement training!
I’ve known a lot of bars that LOVE dogs. God rest his soul, but EVERYONE loved my Georgie. Every night Arby’s would expect me to come by, so they could give him a HUGE bag of chicken fingers. Nothing for me, but a HUGE bag for my boy. Every afternoon was dog biscuits covered in whipped crème by another place - and I would get scolded for not bringing him by. Taco Time always had plain Mexi Fries for him with a glass of water, and DQ loved to give him a tiny cup filled with whipped crème and dog safe toppings. He really was a treasure, and I’m glad people loved him.
@Che-e!!! VERY Well said!!! Native Americans claim that wolves are the "teachers". Since dogs descend from wolves, dogs are man's best friends and are our teachers...IF, that is, we observe, listen and respond appropriately. Just as you said!!!! When two people, who are not necessarily otherwise related, say the same thing...I believe that God or the Higher Power is talking to us!! Che-e...Thank You for being the second voice!!!! First, our Native American family members. Second, you! (And, now, you know exactly what I mean with this compliment!)
Of course it's chaos! Look at him! He's 200 pounds of pure love and joy! With a sprinkle of "play with me"! I understand that some people get scared of these dogs (I haven't met one so I'm unsure if I'm one) but look at Cooper! Look at that big face that just exudes "love me" energy!
I drag a 100 lb red nose pitbull with me everywhere as he is 🐕🦺 service. People get the the begeezes scared out of them when they see him in the grocery isle or just about anywhere. I get some really out there reaction or overreacting 😂 and my Murphy just look at them like "you ok?"😅 I cannot imagine 😄 how some folks respond to this lovely Great Dane Cooper! He is absolutely beautiful and wonderful as well as his owner. Dog people are my people and I absolutely loved this family video. Cooper brings so much to the table....😊 But I think 🤔 he walks away with some off the table as well ❤😂
Dogs make life so much better! Good job, Cooper!! Grandpa, your grandsons are adorable!! Glad you were able to train Cooper. Thank you for the video 💜❤❌⭕
They really do, and this Cooper is a wonderful companion! There is only one flaw. By His size and gray on His face, He won't be with His human much longer. 😔 Great Danes are GREAT!!
Cooper is the kind of companion we all need, at least he keeps her Da company and seems to love those kiddos. Eventhough he's a big goofball, hes got lots of love in that big, goofy heart..
This is so precious. I had three dogs and took them everywhere I went. They were my children. If you don't want my dogs you don't want me. Grandpa thank you for caring for this precious animal.
Love that this family put the effort into training. Everyone's happier, including the dog, which makes it a win-win all around. Dogs and animals in general are so much more intelligent than people give them credit for, and far too many people - some even well-meaning - believe physical abuse is the only way to teach. Positive reinforcement and consistency works every time.
This video had me in stitches. Cooper is a very big boy but loves his family. Dad is great and seemed to want Cooper to be better in the house. I'm glad they have each other. ❤️💙
Oh my goodness Cooper is massive-ly adorable 😍 And Grandpa, what a character! 🥰 I couldn’t help but think that trainer was a grandpa trainer instead of a dog trainer lol. What a fun video to watch, I laughed most of the way through. ❤️😍🥰😘❤️
@jenellbarnes4231...I couldn't agree more! 😂 I said something similar in my comment. As for laughing throughout, i think I might be a relative of your family!! I'm STILL laughing partly because of comments like your own!! Thank you for your post!!!!
Back when my husband was dog training, the first thing he'd tell the clients is that he wasn't there to train the dog, he was there to train them!. Training the dog is what the owners do, training the human is what the trainers do.
Wonderfully fun video! I ❤ this family. Dad and Cooper are so lovable. His daughter is so sweet and a great mom. Kiddies are adorable! I love how Cooper gets into bed with his nephews.😂❤
I have a boxer/great dane and this entire video sums up my life really well. Lovely family, Cooper is so blessed to be surrounded by such lovely folks.
I feel sure this got said…Cooper having a lovely old Irish grandad as a pet, is so very decent of him. Who else would love and cherish a stray grandpa like Cooper does? Taking him walks, letting him feed occasionally, and sometimes be with his grandchildren, which not all dogs might allow. Yes, maybe a little too much ‘the boss’, but an amazing dog. Take care all.

Cooper keeps grandpa young, active,physically and mentally healthy and happy. Big dogs rock❤
Yesss I agree with you
Yes exactly!
Handsome, too!

Big dogs rule!😂💖

@dad4ever... HILARIOUS!!! I couldn't agree more!! 😂😂😂
😅😅😅
Couldn't have said it better myself 👏 👏 👏 👏👏👏👏👏👏
😂
He’s always willing to give a helping hand
Grandpa just enjoy his life with Cooper, best soulmates forever, this is a beautiful journey for them! ❤
@@htth8633 Agree, thx for your reply :)
Cooper, for all his chaos and size, is incredibly gentle. And I laughed the whole way thru this one. Great stuff!
Me too.😂😂
Me three! 😂😊
Same here !

unconditional love
AMEN ! 😂

Yes 💯
humans set boundaries not dogs use your head
Training the Dad is the real challenge...that and consistency.
Well said .
"No. They're torture, the both of them."
Man after my own heart.
What a beautiful story! It’s so nice to see pets so well loved. Even better..places that allow a large dog to come in and chill.❤️❤️❤️
😅
😅😅😅
Dad is a funny guy 😂God bless you all

God bless your little Georgie. I pray we get to see our little and big companions when we get to heaven!
Simply put-that’s grandpa’s life partner-beautiful!!!!!
Dogs are our link to peace. They don't know evil or discontent. And when you sit with a dog and ponder life, it's not boring it was peace.
What a wonderful way of stating our relationship with dogs. ❤
Yes, lawd!!!

As an Irish person who pets every dog I meet, this dog is a 11 out of 10, super cute
Mo dheartáir!! Enda Kenny...Amen!!! Agreed 100%!
He reminds me of my boerboel. My boy is turning 14 July 1st. The vets said they never seen a mastiff so old
God bless him. He’s surpassed the typical lifespan of this beautiful breed. Whatever you’re doing, keep doing it. He’s got to be well healthy. Bless 🙏
@@the54thfloor47 high quality food, Turkey tail mushroom powder
that doesn't sound old at all : (
Wow ! A 14 year old Boerboel ? Amazing. 😂
After Cooper (and Dad!) got trained, everybody enjoyed the huge hound so much more! Lots of love in that house. 💞💞💞
❤What a lovely animal companion! Dogs are wonderful
Dad, looks like he was a looker back in his day! ❤️🙏🏾😊
He is doggone adorable.
@@Jeanie1107 yes he is!
He still is.
@@corneliusdenise IKR? For real!

So glad Cooper helps keep Grandpa company since his wife died. Dogs are the best companions, even more so when you're going through a rough patch!
Cooper is keeping your Dad alive & happy.
BE GRATEFUL !
And cherish every moment. I'm so sad to say this, but with the gray on His face, Cooper will not be around much longer.
Great Danes are GREAT!!
Grandpa & Cooper = too much fun & happiness ❤

After I lost my wife, my dogs were the only thing that got me through my darkest times. Cooper is a good boy, I love his big face.
Lovely! Both Cooper and the family's wonderful Irish brogue accents ☘
Cooper is giant precious baby!

Thank goodness for subtitles his accent is thick!! ❤ Cooper
Cooper can babysit! So cute ❤
Oh how i love Grandpas laugh. He has the best laugh. And the love he has for his family and Cooper is priceless. Beautiful story.
how could you not love cooper? beautiful irish family.
Agreed 💯!
You definitely can teach an old dog new tricks. Grandpa is learning well. 😂
The little one sticking his tongue out for the camera was hilarious!!
What a loving family. Getting the training both Cooper and Grandpa needed. Cooper is a happy good boy! ❤💞😍
Dad's got his mate and what could be better than that?!! Cheers Cooper!

Haven't had such a hearty laugh in a long time. Good Karma on your family
Cooper is one big boy!! he is so gentle and loving with his dad
and the grandkids. we didn't hear him bark though. LOL.
This is a heartwarming story
2:05 "You can't have it, kiss on the head". Says it all. What a great friend.
Your dad and cooper are living the dream. Their relationship gets me kinda emotional. I probably need a therapist.
I love how your dad just laughs. 💝
He is the CUTEST THING IVE EVER SEEN🤍🤍🤍
This video had me in stitches.
Cooper is a very big boy but loves his family. Dad is great and seemed to want Cooper to be better in the house. I'm glad they have each other.

This was so adorably funny!!! Cooper is your Dad's life, that's for sure!!❤❤❤🐾
Aww, dawg issa big baby
I love it! No alpha dog nonsense, no negative reinforcement or punishment, just lots of love and treats. A win win.
You hit the nail on the head. Coopers a sweetheart but most people don’t see it.
He's a giant sweetheart. Like a pet horse or great dane
Wonderfully fun video!
I ❤ this family. Dad and Cooper are so lovable. His daughter is so sweet and a great mom. Kiddies are adorable! I love how Cooper gets into bed with his nephews.😂❤

Lovely family, Cooper is so blessed to be surrounded by such lovely folks.
He's such a sweet boy, he only takes food that's offered to him 🥰
Look at how two of the little dog friends were keenly following big Cooper (5:18). So cute.
Ha, ha, ha, this is delightful. Grandpa and Cooper are quite the pair of buddies ❤️👍🦮
Dad is safe! Welll worth the chaos! ❤
Both Cooper and grandpa sure did need some training. It is truly heart-warming to see grandpa so happy! Dogs really can make a difference 😍
What a great dog!!!!!!!!!!!! Grandpa and Cooper are just fine!!!!! Love Cooper!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
I am not kidding… would love to see more Cooper videos!!!!
What a great, big, beautiful dog.
They all are beautiful gorgeous amazing adorable animals.
Go Cooper!!!
Cooper is a pretty well-behaved horse now. 🤣👍
OMG 😂😂😂❤
Big dogs make the world a better place❤
Dad's revenge for all those years his kids were also a bit naughty🤭 btw, what a great dad and grand dad💖
hahaha sooo cute!! Cooper you naughty boy 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Cooper would be perfect with some training. So would Grandpa. ❤
I love dad’s realization that the trainer is 1/2 there to train him. His face is perfect 2:56
What a great dog. A real companion.
Cooper is definitely the boss 😂
Now, that's a beautiful GIANT ❤❤❤❤
So funny and cute...i love Cooper and his grandpa, thank you for the trainer and grandpa's daughter.
Good boy Cooper! He is such a BEAUTIFUL dog, I LOVE HIM.
Cooper is so naughty. Totally controls grandpa, and grandpa loves it.
I have never seen a dog that big!! Looks like a teenager, gotta love him.
Cooper es el jefe de manada, hace y deshace y lo disfruta, encantador, su familia humana vive feliz con tantas buenas vibraciones de Cooper.
It was wonderful seeing the boys going from nervous around Cooper to loving being around him!
I love the way Cooper climbs in bed with Archie and he's bigger than the bed! So cute!
Cooper can do no wrong in dad's eyes. He's dad's angel. ❤️
I feel sure this got said…Cooper having a lovely old Irish grandad as a pet, is so very decent of him. Who else would love and cherish a stray grandpa like Cooper does?

Thats beautiful the dog loves him and him the dog God 🙏 bless you ❤❤❤
Cooper is so loving and sweet and playful 😍
Cooper gets a lot of love❤❤❤
Great Danes love training and working. They are highly motivated and very patient.
Cooper - and Dad - what characters!
This is so sweet
Great Danes are gentle goofy giants that love children. :)
Cooper is the best when he’s being the worst😂❤
😂
What a big boy. So much love!
HE'S A PART OF THE FAMILY ....NICE 😂😂😂❤❤
2:59. As a trainer, this is true. Training the people to be calm, consistent communicators with their dogs is the major hurdle!
Think the dog is fine it's the daughter and grandkids who need training. 😂😂😂❤
FACTS!!!!!!!!!
I love 💕 this breed Great Danes are soo human LIKE their larger than life personality 😂
I just love mini horses in the form of a dog! Good dog Cooper for rocking his training, keep up the great work Grandpa!🐕🤎
What a beautiful family!!
Dog that's a whole person
😂😂😂😂
whatever keeps grandpa happy, especially with grandma no longer around, is always a good thing.
Thank you for respecting his life 💜
