grizzer – Sep 15, 2008 12:00 AM

While Grizzer is still social with the pups, the pups are showing a bit more aggressive behavior towards him, probably due to the lack of discipline. Grizzer gets overwhelmed sometimes and has started displaying a huff or half bark towards the pups, and runs away from them. It seems like he doesn't want to dominate them, but just wants them to stop chewing on him. Unfortunately, that means he needs to show a little more dominance. This will likely come as the fall weather and the pups size increases. But as wolf care staff have learned, it's better to start showing boundaries young, or the pups will take advantage of you.
