Boltz – Back in the Middle?

Boltz continues to show less confidence about taking over leadership of the pack. He still postures towards Aidan but is quick to back off when Aidan shows some dominance, especially if the interaction involves food. This week there were several bouts of testing towards Boltz by Axel and Grayson. After a testing event, the response from Boltz is to display some active submission, rolling over and licking Denali’s face.  There were a sequence of behaviors photographed taken of this event.  In Boltz’s log, you see the submissive response of Boltz.  In Denali’s log, you see a Denali seeming to enjoy the social grooming that is part of active submission.
