Aidan's had a great week of fresh snow, fresh straw beds and a lot of attention from wolf care staff. Of course, the wolf care attention is never an issue as he guards the staff and keeps Denali away, but he has been more submissive this week, with a lot of active submissive roll overs. This is a positive conditioning piece that we encourage from the time they are pups and is very critical for the upcoming Pup Care Participants to practice on a daily basis. A scratch of the belly gives them positive reinforcement to be submissive to handlers. This is fairly easy when they are pups and appreciated by the staff when the wolves are adults.
