Luna – Obnoxious Submission

Obnoxious submission is a behavior, often from a subordinate wolf, that attempts to get a more dominant wolf to interact or reinforce the rank order. This behavior often includes whining, biting, pawing at, or even bumping the other wolf, and generally getting into their face about their display. Needless to say, this behavior can get quite old quickly. Aidan will tolerate these behaviors for a while, but when it gets to be too much, he often puts an end to it by rolling Luna, or retreating to the upper portion of the enclosure.

It’s hard to say why Luna submits in such a way, but submitting still seems to be a new thing to her, so there’s bound to be a few (or more) awkward attempts.
