denali – May 11, 2009 12:00 AM

Most of the pack received vaccinations this past week. Denali was the easiest wolf to vaccinate, with Grizzer coming a close second. He didn't even notice the needle, and after his second vaccination, stood waiting for another. This is the reason why we socialize wolves. Denali continues to initiate dominance behavior over Aidan, doing stand-overs and wrestling, but Aidan's tolerance is waning, and there may be a day when he doesn't take it anymore. We are working on brush training with Denali, he has a tendency to want to grab everything in our hands, but after a few minutes of muzzle grabs, he did let us successfully brush him last week.
