Grayson – Response to External Influences

Grayson continues to be the wolf that responds to external influences such as backhoe work around the site (yes, the new fiber optic line is being dug this week.. maybe a return of the retired camera broadcast next week?).  We did have  break through this week.  For years, Grizzer has been bark-howling at the vets when they come on site for medical checks. As you can imagine, this past month has had a lot of visits to help Luna (and now Aidan), to heal from the various medical issues.  Grayson, hearing Grizzer bark howl, would join in and even started a few bark howling sessions at the vet before Grizzer even figured out they were on site.  This is an obvious concern because bark-howling is a warning sign to other pack members and we certainly didn’t want a vet visit to be a negative thing.  On Tuesday nights vet check with Aidan, Grizzer actually approached the vet, sniffed and licked her hand and never let out a single howl.  Fortunately, Grayson didn’t either and Aidan had a good check, while the respective packs remained calm.  Positive and negative conditioning are issues we deal with on a daily basis.  To learn more about conditioning, Join us for Wednesday, August 14th at 7 pm Central Time for the Wolf Care, Positive Conditioning Webinar – we will share news on Luna and Aidan’s medical condition an have a special guest join us for some tips on positive conditioning for our 2020 pups.  Follow this link to register.   https://wolf.org/programs/webinars
