When I was working rotating shifts we had a 110# German Shepard named Bear. My wife could walk him anytime of the day or night and NO one bothered her.
The problem with Great Danes is that they are so friendly. They will protect their families without being trained, but I have an ace in the hole with my Dane therapy dog. I just lean over and whisper in his ear, “What does the mean dog say?” That is his cue to growl. When 175lbs growls people listen. Of course he is wagging his tail so don’t look back there. I haven’t ever done it in public but would if I had to.
Our lab, Alex was friendly but certain people he didn’t like at 95 lbs and growling he was very very scary….didn’t happen often but when it did I’d have a protector with that person around me till they left.

Excellent. Start with a low growl and then a good chase for exercise.

Danes are great protectors of the young. Bet the bullies don’t try that again.
