How to post your Great Dane’s ears
yep okay so this isn’t gonna be like
real scientific but it’s kind of a gist
of how to wrap the ears so I have backer
rod it looks like this unwrap that I
have backer rod and it’s reverse tape so
do that and take the tape fold it karma
come here you’re gonna fold it so that
the sticky side is out you’re just gonna
kind of wrap downwards on it I like to
do two loop like two layers kind of
gives that back around a little rigidity
rip it off and that’s gonna be the piece
that goes between her ears so the buff
one
I stick it on to the reverse tape this
is sticky so come here come on
now I stick it down into her ear I don’t
know if you can see it from that angle
I stick it down into the ear and I pull
her ear up and I don’t wrap it real
tight I just wrap it loosely around and
kind of downwards just enough so that
holds it and her ear will stick to it
mm it’s a little longer we’ll trim it
afterwards but good girl karma you can
see she’s kind of used to it so I do one
done around the base and then I do one
towards the top kind of angle it
downwards a little bit I’m kind of
filling in the spot in the middle
there’s no hair exposed so pretty loose
I know come here sweetheart you know
right now the laptop got you didn’t it
and I do one down towards the base
you’ll be able to see it easier on the
other side but I just kind of get a
little tighter so that it’s down so that
this backer rod piece of your camp back
out and I make sure I pull her you’re up
the whole time so they stand straight
when I do the same thing with this here
just start it up but an inch from the
bottom finally
usually I wait till she’s sleeping but
tonight she’s got energy so we stick it
in same thing I wrap it back around just
push it down so that it’s girl stay push
it in so that it’s comfortable and pull
the ear up and then I wrap it back
around same way I did on the other one
so that you’ve got nice little brace at
the bottom you can see she doesn’t
really mind it start back up here do a
tip you’re just doing the same thing we
did on the other side filling in a
little spot in the middle so I’ll show
you what tape I use here at the very end
so I usually use about four pieces total
come here back what stop I know you were
doing so good go back down towards the
bottom as you can see so it doesn’t so
that it can’t fall out just kind of
squeeze the tape on so it’s nice and
comfy and then I take my finger and I
feel where the tip of her ear is and I
put my finger on it so I can’t cut her
and then I trim the ends off so that
they’re about the right length and then
they’re not crazy long so but if you cut
them too short to begin with then you
have a whole different problem so now
her ears are taped but she has a little
problem with overcorrecting her ears
like to go in in the middle so what we
do is we take this piece that I did at
the very beginning and it’s reversed
taped and it’s about the length that
where I want her ears stand but it needs
to be a little bit shorter it’s still a
little too long so I’ll just trim it off
Oh tell you that’s rank
okay now let’s
that’s more about right you see how our
ears are standing perfectly straight so
that’s about where I wanted to be I’ll
trim off just a tiny bit more on the
ends and then I tear off a nice long
piece like so it’s about two widths of
her head or a little I guess it’s more
than that
about two and a half nice start it I
just stick the sticky side on this is
already sticky here this is sticky here
so come here back the nice stick it
perfectly straight on to the ear itself
I wrap it around the ear then I bring it
back to the sticky side so she’s not too
fond of this one she doesn’t like her
ears being taped together but and then I
bring it to the next year and it’s
braced so that it’ll come back around
and it meets
now to brace it it’s here two short
pieces just real short Karma’s gonna
stay and I just bring it down and around
so that that little rod that I just did
in the middle can’t just come Undine and
this just keeps her ears standing
perfectly straight up and down versus
tilting in in the middle or tilting out
or anything like that so the tape that I
use here I use the Johnson’s athletic
tape there’s other tapes you can use but
this one doesn’t stick too bad on our
ears you’ll pull a little hair off but
it’ll stay pretty well for five six days
we clean the ears with alcohol so all
the ears are cleaned with alcohol
don’t forget treats afterwards and as
you can tell it doesn’t faze her but
probably not the best tape job that I’ve
ever done seeing I did it while I was
talking but as you can see okay as you
can see here as you can see she’s
perfectly firing and they stand nice and
straight at the top of her head and
it’ll work out it’ll stand for about mmm
five six days in the post and then we’ll
take him down this morning she decided
that it needed to come off herself and
cook it off herself so if you guys have
any questions
um I guess write me and that’s yeah
that’s Phantom and black ones I Talia
and then obviously we have karma who’s
being a good girl so thank you guys
