Aidan is getting a bit of dominance from Maya, but pups understand dominance, and he does everything right, rolling over, submitting, letting her sit on him until she’s done, then getting up and going about your business. What’s important to understand that Maya’s not being mean, just keeping a rank order that is critical to wolf pack cohesiveness. If the pups didn’t have any limits or boundaries established, they would be testing everyone and chaos would be likely. The pack is actually a lot calmer because of the short rank order displays that give a clear message of the order within the pack. Maya may perceive Aidan as more of a threat, which is why she focuses on him. We do know that Aidan has a stronger alliance with Shadow and is a much more intense predatory pup.
