I had a purebred Great Dane and a Dane/Rotti mix. I was told with them not to play tug of war for power struggle reasons, too. And I was also told not to play too rough with them as far as wrestling goes, and not to smack them playfully to get their attention or get them to grab at your hand (does that make sense? Smack in a playful manner?) becuase that encourages aggressive behavior as well.
