決める前に知っておくこと

Important behavioral traits that potential owners should understand:

ChallengeSeparation Anxiety

Great Danes are profoundly social animals, often described as "Velcro dogs." They do not tolerate isolation well. Left alone for long periods, their anxiety can manifest in destructive chewing or digging. Given their size, a panicked Dane can destroy a door frame or a sofa in minutes.

ChallengeThe "Zoomies" Hazard

While generally calm indoors, young Danes experience bursts of frenetic energy known as "zoomies." In a small space, a 100lb puppy moving at high speed is a physical hazard to furniture, children, and themselves.

CriticalAdolescent Unruliness

Between 6 and 18 months, Danes are essentially giant puppies. They may not realize their own strength, leading to accidental knocking over of children or elderly family members. Leash manners are critical; a pulling Dane cannot be physically overpowered by most owners.
