It's a bit late for that unfortunately. We got him fixed when he was a pup.

My cat Shooter likes to go outside quite a bit during the day, so she smells like dirt. My dog Zappa smelled like coconut when he was a puppy, it was strange. Unfortunately he just smells like **** now.

Same. Never used to mind dogs but wouldn't own a dog now. Exception may be a greyhound because of the short fur and how docile they are.

Has anyone had any difficulties with large breeds of dog destroying your house little by little? If so, how the **** do you stop it?

Yup, that's pretty much the only time she's chewing. She has separation anxiety as well so that probably doesn't help.

yeah. danes are kind of famous for not really valuing anything but their humans. it actually killed one of mine.

one thing it's important to consider is that when you're not there and they're ripping something apart, it's not fun for them. it's not a party. they're doing that because they're stressed out to a point most people just can't imagine. so if you feel the need to reprimand the dog make sure you do it in as loving a manner as you possibly can. their whole world comes crashing down when you come home (which relieves them of the stress for a moment) and then you get angry at them. their emotional intelligence is frighteningly high.

as far as preventing it, you may need to invest in a crate or another dog. if you get a crate, you'll need to do some research on getting your dane used to it, rather than just sticking her in there and expecting that to somehow not be a traumatic experience. there are ways you can create a safezone with a crate that she will come to enjoy and appreciate. getting another dog (of a more independent breed) will give her something to love and pay attention to which is not you. i know that's kind of a big investment, but if your dane is exhibiting separation issues now (i believe she's still quite young, no?) she could end up being very depressed as a mature dog... which is the saddest thing to see in such a goofy, fun-loving breed.

oh, and toys. get a few toys that can take some serious abuse. and play with her with the toys and kind of create memorable experiences with them. when she has toys around and memories of being lovingly reprimanded she might gravitate toward them in hopes to not disappoint you. crates aren't the only option. but really, if you do spend a lot of time away from your pup you should seriously consider getting a second dog. it will make a world of difference.

Altogether we have six cats (3 of each gender). Here is my oldest boy (7 August 11th) a purebred Ragdoll:
