I have to say that I treat my big dogs, and little dog exactly the same.
Neither of them are allowed on the furniture, they are not allowed to jump on people, not allowed to sleep in the bed, etc.
I think the only way I ever treat them differently is I do lift up Kyrel sometimes to bring him in the car when it's muddy, and because the big guys squish him so much in the car I let him sit on my lap
But that is the most special treatment he gets.
I just dont' think it would be fair otherwise.
Training methods wise, yes I would say they differ in that. Like when I am going to pick up Kyrel to go in the car when it's muddy, I get him to jump into my arms.... I could not do that for my big dogs. lol.
Kyrel I let off leash alot more becaue he is not as intimidating as my big dogs. I find people seem to avoid me a bit if they are off leash. But he is trained to heel, so he's not wondering.
