unless they are in a rescue situation with a totally secured area.
I had a Newfie-wolf mix. Not much wolf but enough to have significant intelligence. I did not have him by choice but he proved to be unadaptable to others and bonded hard to me as his pack. He was found on a local reservation. His other choice was euthanasia.
Wolves learn by watching and will teach themselves things unlike dogs. He taught his self to retrieve my shoes and put them at my feet without me ever telling him to do so. He just knew when I needed them. He also returned them to their place when I took them off. He would freak me out that way. I dropped my other dog's leash and he picked it up and walked him.
He also turned on me once after we moved and cornered me against the kitchen counter letting me know he was not happy. I had to avert eye contact. He was easily over 120lbs.
Blessings that this being is safe.
