Question

my friend just bought a wolf (90%) this wolf puppy is already biting too hard its taking chuncks of meat out of them how do you decipline a wolf deciplining like a dog doesnt work any links for this info on deciplinary action for a wolfs bad behavior would be greatly appreciated this peticular wolf pup is not even 3 months old and already taking chunks out of people

Answer 1

when the puppy grabs for you, take your hand and wrap it around his nose. don't squeeze too hard but make sure he can't get free until you let him. a sharp tap on the top of the nose also works.
in the wild , wolves have a very definite social structure, and pups have one the same as any adult. if you get him trained to think that you are the alpha , then he will behave, if not, then he thinks that you are supposed to listen to him, since he is above you in the chain of command.
grabbing the nose is one of the ways that a wolf asserts it's dominance over another. he will resist having you do this , but if you keep it up it will work.
be consistent and things should get better.
on an interesting note, to the people that claim you can't train a wolf, your dogs DNA is identical to a wolfs in almost every way. they have all of the same innate behavior patterns that wolves do, and the main reason why your dog listens to you is because you are considered the alpha . ever see a dog that will not listen to it's owner, that is supposedly out of control? that dog is like that because it thinks that it is the one in charge.

Answer 2

The wolf's "bad behavior"? Who says it's bad? Most wolves do EXACTLY what wolves are supposed to do, what comes naturally to them, and which corresponds precisely to how wolves are designed. Even when they're taken out of the environment they were designed for (the WILD), you're not likely to have a high rate of success taking the WILD out of the wolf.
There are some folk who have studied wolves and their behavior (not dogs) and have some success interacting with wolves on their (the wolf's) terms. And there are always some folks who SAY they have perfectly gentle and well-behaved wolves.
Your friend, however, is SEEING the truth about wild animals, in this case, a wolf. A top-of-the-food-chain predator.
If they contact a federally licensed wolf refuge, such as the one referenced below, they might receive some guidance.
Stick with a German Shepherd - they LOOK a lot like a wolf (until you actually SEE a wolf close up) but that breed was only developed in the late 1800's and so, like other DOMESTICATED dogs, is FAR removed from their wolf cousins on the timeline.

A dog's level of aggression has been bred down over the centuries while the wolf's level of aggression is essentially intact. If you think you're up to taking on a wolf on IT'S terms, i.e., being the alpha male or female, good luck. The real problems arise when the household 2 year old child reaches for the cute wolfy's food but hasn't learned how to respond as an alpha CHILD when the wolf commences to protect IT'S FOOD. Never mind the crash course of alpha-training necessary for each visitor or neighbor.......
Frankly, I would rather reach an understanding with my dog and elicit it's cooperation rather than force it. If I have to INSIST that I am the boss, the alpha male, then I think I have already lost the battle as well as the dog's confidence and trust.
Here's a basic formula for one cause of training problems:
The greater the distance X is from Z, the more you will have to explain Y.
(X= Desired behavior Z=Genetically programmed behavior Y=WHY?)
In other words, it's not difficult to get a retriever to retrieve, a herding dog to herd or a Siberian to run. But you better have some pretty good answers when you send a Mastiff or a Greyhound out to retrieve a duck in icy waters, or ask wolf to stop behaving wolfishly.

Answer 3

Wolf hybrids are no longer canine get this by way of your head. A canine coach is verse in practise canine no longer animals that are section wild animals. whilst wolves and canine do technique and respond the comparable way in some circumstances, it isn't any longer genuine of ALL circumstances and in case you misread a wolf hybrid it may land you interior the well being center or lifeless. confident they're suited yet in all honesty NEITHER are suited pets. there are a great number of a actual canine breeds who appear like wolves and better on your surely point of awareness. And in my opinion the guy you understand in Florida extra useful be a sanctuary proprietor or something. it is quite irresponsible for the customary individual to possess a wild animal no longer to show one that is an endangered species.

Answer 4

if you or your friend want a wolf, get a malamute or a husky. Leave the wild ones alone, there are so few left in the wild now..
Take the pup to a rehabilitation center, it should not be allowed to be a pet.

It is NOT bad behavior, it is simply doing what it's instincts tells it to.

as someone else said it is illegal in most places to own a wolf, even if it is a hybrid, and even if it is as low as a 50% hybrid!

get to know your laws about these things, if that "pup" takes a chunk out of a kid, your friend will go to jail for harboring a vicious animal, have a hefty fine, probably won't be allowed to own dogs, and may be fined something for taking a potentialy dangerous wild animal out of it's habitat and putting everyone walking by his house in danger.

Answer 5

you hav to imagin youre in a wolf pack, and your friend is the alpha male/female (aka the leader of the pack).
this may sound crule, but when the puppy snaps at her, you have to grab it by the neck, slam him to the floor and pin him there by laying on top of him (still holding him by the neck) until he yelps. s/he should look at him in the eye and NOT drop eye contact first (else the puppy wins).
it sounds crule i know, but thats what wolves do in the wild. (when they show you their stomac, it means you are in charge.)
when he bites, s/he should flick him just where the tail joins him (you cn damage the noes if you hit it too hard somtimes) and say loudly and firmly "NO".
s/he has to get over to the pup that S/HE is in charge, if s/hes afraid of the pup, s/he should maybe find somone who knows how to handel them because the pup wil know.
S/he should also make sure he eats after her/him and doesn't have full run of the house (if he is inside)
try reading about wolves to know how the alpha wolves act ect.
good luck

Answer 6

You don't discipline a wolf. Your friend needs to contact a wolf-dog sanctuary to get specific advice on this situation.

Answer 7

Its like the ole saying " You can take the animal out of the wild, but you cant take the wild out of the animal.

Answer 8

Answer 9

I agree with everyone who said that wolves are not to serve as a domesticated house pet. Simple as that. Doesn't anyone think? Gawd.

Answer 10

well, you can't. the dog is 90 % wolf, he's wild he's going to have wild tendencys, and i advise that you take him to a wolf reserve. cuz the dog is going to kill someone and its going to be the owners fault
