Aidan continues to show fear aggression to one of the handlers based on a negative experience that he had as a 4-week old pup. Wolves have a much stronger response to negative experiences and it is very difficult to overcome this behavior. This is why we have to be so selective on Nanny applications when we are working with pups. Overall, the remainder of the staff have a good relationship with Aidan, but one of his characteristics is aggressive grabbing when he's insecure. Grizzer did the same thing when he was a pup, now he's a very calm adult. When Aidan finds his role in the pack, his insecurities will likely diminish.
