Description: This is an extended version of Knick Knack Paddywhack, Give a Wolfdog High Five. Nikki is a 3 year old midcontent wolfdog. She loves laying in mud and giving high fives. Nikki was brought to the sanctuary after biting a young girl. Children and wolfdogs tend to be a bad mix; kids don't have the experience and knowledge necessary to properly read body language, and wolfdogs tend to have much more subtle language, making reading it that much harder. Wolfdogs can be much mouthier animals than other dogs as you can see with Nikki's repeated teeth-filled greetings. This behavior can be trained out, but we were unable to give Nikki the attention necessary to eradicate the behavior, and since she lives in sanctuary (where we're quite accustomed to being chewed on) we decided we would focus more on her health and happiness than training. That decision would occasionally come to bite us in the butt (literally), but a few bruises and scrapes were par for the course and her propensity towards mouthy behavior was diminished when she was put into a huge pen with a good friend. Nikki was one of the animals I personally believe should have been in a home, and had I been given the option she would be in my home. From what I hear, the sanctuary owners have fallen in love with her (as most people tend to do) and have integrated her into their house pack. I sincerely hope that's the case, Nikki is a special girl who deserves endless love, attention, and belly rubs. * Jukin Media Verified * Find this video and others like it by visiting jukinmedia.com/licensing/view/958120 For licensing / permission to use, please email licensing(at)jukinmedia(dot)com.
