Training dogs to be okay in a crate when you go out or to bed are essential, i was wondering though, do they make crates for a fully grown Great Dane?
Answer
They sure do make crates for adult size Danes.

What should I do when my great dane puppy is escaping from his crate?
TG
My great dane puppy has been crate trained since before we got him at 2 months. He didn't mind it at all and was perfect in it until about 2 months ago (6 months old). We bought him a bigger crate because he was getting too big for his old one. At first he was fine. After about a week he started relieving himself in it. We made it smaller with a divider but didn't change the behavior. A friend suggested putting him back in his old crate just to see and he was fine despite initially getting in it. Then he started moving his crate around (with him still inside) and then full blown breaking out. He can get out of both crates and hurts his snout doing it.
We felt awful so decided to try him without the crate while we were at work. He was ok at first. Just moving rugs around. Yesterday he took the couch cushions off the couch and started tearing out the foam.
What should we do? We love him to pieces! He's 8 months old now and over 90 lbs

How long do you crate him?
Great Danes are very Velcro type of dogs and just love their people. When you're gone it is torture to them. If you crate him for more than 5 hours you're can't expect much. As a Dane owner, I down right refuse to have any of them left alone or crated for more than 4 hours.
If you're gone longer than that, I highly suggest you dedicate a room to them and dog proof everything completely. Don't leave anything out you wouldn't want destroyed. A laundry room, bathroom, etc. Get a neighbor, friend, or professional to check in on him, let him out, and maybe play a bit.
Lastly, exercise before leaving. If you let him romp around a field with a ball for awhile (30-40 mins) he'll be too tired to be up and pacing but rather will be inclined to sleep.
Good luck!
