Thank you all that resonded to my wolf inquiry. This is turning out to be interesting. I got some excellent advise from the Listers and started it today. As it turns out, although the wolf (Rain) has already bonded with me, it seems my early efforts with her have paid off. It is reported that she is much more open to people now. I have had limited contact with Rain but she already knows my voice and waits for me to see her when I go there. She watches me like a hawk too. She doesn't seem to mind the dog scent on me except when after I was working a bitch in season. Wouldn't get near me for awhile. She no longer tucks her tail or hides from me when I stand up or move. This is major progress after only 3 weeks of knowing her. She really wants to socialize but doesn't know how. I really hope the owners will let me work with her after she goes home. The behaviors are very different form domestic dogs. However, I know all of you have had a neurotic dog a time or two. That probably goes back to that wolf heritage as wolves can be very neurotic. Anyway, thank you all that responded. We have a plan now. I have talked people out of the movie thing and the idea is to let her be a wolf that can be social with people.
