Puppy Has Difficulties Convincing Senior Great Dane To Play

Max and Ellie are funny Great Dane dogs and most of the time they share the same passion for life and that is playing games. Being huge as they are, one would think that they need a lot of space to show their antics, but this breed doesn’t actually need a large space to be playful. What they need is some companionship i.e. somebody they can hang out with and reap the full benefits of that friendship.Show more

Though Max and Elli are dogs of the same breed, just like their human friends, they do not possess the same character. Elli is temperamental, over excited and erratic while Max is temperate and more timid, hence the problem. They can’t find a middle ground regarding the game of chasing. Ellie wants to constantly pester max to play with her, showing off her cool airborne dance moves in front on him. Her energy looks contagious to us but not to Max.

Elli is a real flying puppy, she can’t stop for a minute, all she does is jumping around Max, in futile attempts to make him like her game. He shows how self-composed he is and nothing in the world will make him change his mind. However, Elli goes on nagging him and she can’t grasp why Max is giving her a cold shoulder and turns his back on her instead of joining this silly chase. Elli is desperate for his attention and doesn’t do well when left alone. She is as energetic as she is large. She gets “the zoomies” - she will gallop, leap, spin and jump all over Max as long as she gets his attention.

However, Elli knows her limits and when she finally realizes that she will not drag Max into what she has imagined, she gives up. Good girl!
