Written by Ann Beyer, Nanny Team Leader Week #5: During this period of the pups' socialization process, nannies and wolf care staff are observing many behavior patterns emerge, particularly more pronounced "play fighting". For example, while Aidan frequently initiates play fighting and tries to dominate Denali, Denali will vigorously defend his deer leg or beaver tail by growling, snapping, displaying a lip curl, and doing a hard muzzle bite on Aidan. It is interesting to watch the behavioral developments each day.
