Wolf-dog has two conflicting instincts, wanting human interaction and being suspicious of unfamiliar humans.

When you have a husky and people go "ooh looks so much like a wolf," so you go and get a wolf so people stop saying that about your husky.

Wolf dog is as confused about love as I am

I like how even outside Kane is like; "Yes, hi! But don't touch. Look at me run! Right past you. I wanna say Hi! But I don't know you. Zoom!"

Kane is rocking the introvert mood about going out on weekends.

Kane is stuck in a paradox

Wolf: (Jumping up and down) yay it's a human, I will leave them alone. Husky: Human, come here!!!!

And here we see a model of a canine solar system, the wolf dog orbits around this human as it cannot resist the pull of many pets from said human, but is unable to get too close to the human due to its own forces pushing back against it. Meanwhile the husky, being made of less mass, feels less of a pull, but has less resistance as well, and therefore flies directly at the human, at near lightspeed. Soon however, the wolf dog will do the same, as the pull of pets from a human is one of the strongest forces in the universe.

the way wolves run is beautiful. idk how.

Kane is me socializing irl.

When you wanna play, but the ancestors say no.

My friend had a wolfdog and this is what they do. They see a strange human and they want to go off and be far away from them. Or they would go hide between the legs of their owner. Took me a little while for the wolfdog to warm up to me. Mostly I kept on going to pet or play with him and give him treats. Lots of "smiles" like in my profile pic. I finally knew when the wolfdog accepted me when he would hide between my legs when someone new came over lol.

its so cute seeing how indecisive kane is. running around all energetic and wanting to make friends but still isnt too good with socializing? too relatable

Bless him, he's working his way up to it

Anyone who happily walks up to dogs/wolf dogs saying “oh my goodness” is someone I would trust with my life.

For everyone wondering about Kane's wariness of the new human. I study wolves as part of learning about canine behavior. While Kane is a Malamute/Wolf mix, the wariness of a unknown person is quite stressful at first. When he was slightly worried at first, he still subtly showed his submissive gestures to her. The main one being to show his sides to her with his head slightly downward and not maintaining eye contact. But his running in a circle around her is him not only willing to accept her as a potential friend, but his way of checking her out. It does take more time for wolf dogs to trust but once it's there it'll never go away. I actually started following this channel for my classes just to study each of their behaviors and body language. So this absolutely helps me understand their similarities as well as their differences. So happy I found this channel. I adore wolves and Huskies. 🥰

Kane is handsomely adorable. My mum lives in the country and a neighbor of hers had a pure bred wolf. His name was Wolfie and he thought everyone should pet him. He would stalk you on a walk and the minute you acknowledged him, he would turn into a great big heaping pile of wolf goo. I miss Wolfie.

i love how harvey is like the more personable older brother that's trying to help his very large but socially awkward younger brother stay calm and have fun with his friends

Wolf was like : play with me! But don't touch.

cool to see the differences between a wolf dog and a husky right there. wolf was very cautious while the husky was open to getting pet right out the bat lol

That's what a Bluescreen Error looks like in Wolf OS

my husky died a few years ago, and I was fine with my labradoodle but now I want a husky again. both your dogs are so sweet and well trained, and the perfect example that the behaviour of dogs is 90% training EDIT: sounded like I was seeking attention, but I just wanted to appreciate the videos

I see lots of patience and respecting boundaries

I love how the wolf has a beautiful, majestic, and serious look while the husky has a silly, cute, and derpy look XD But both are cute my favorite dog is a husky but I love wolves and foxes too

“Hello this is my nose” 😂 so cute

"This is generally what you can expect from a high-content wolfdog (if you don’t take human socialization as a top priority). I prefer Kane to be pleasantly distrustful as opposed to Harvey who will happily jump into the back of a white van - especially if promises of ice cream are involved. " That line just killed me

Ah yes, so much for a “Big Bad Wolf”. See wolf dogs can be kept as pets. You just need them to be with the right person, give them the correct training and they will be as gentle as a pit bull.

He is cautious from people he doesn't know well ?

That's super interesting - it's the same sort of thing we see from domesticated foxes.

Kane makes me laugh at the beginning of the video how he is happy to see grandma but he's kinda bouncing up and down and Harvey is so over ecstatic that he shows grandma how happy he is by wanting to tussle with Kane. Kane is shy. Looks like Kane is saying " I want to come to greet you but I'm scared" Then they both do a demonstration outside for grandma, how they enjoy playing and show her how fast they can run. So adorable to me. I thought that was nice of the boys to be so happy for mom. 🤣😂 LOL

surprised he had that kind of sustained excitement. my sisters old wolfdog would go absolutely ballistic happy to see me when i came over foooor about 5 minutes. then was back to the couch potato he normally was, just crushing me as well since his spot was the only other place to sit.

the way a wolfdog runs is so different from a dogs.it seems more like a gallop compared to other dogs. jeez such a majestic creature, i wish i had the personality and ability to have one as ive always loved giant wolf dogs

The best way to introduce a new visitor to your wolf is to have them stand with their back to your wolf and ignore him. That will give him a chance to approach and sniff and learn who they are. Facing your wolf by a stranger is aggressive and confronting.

Oh his sweet wolf self 💗. The company lady has it down though. I wish all ppl would approach unsure k-9s that way instead of bounding in yelling “HI DOGGO” and looming over their heads! Harvey’s markings still mesmerize me. So handsome.

Well the Husky and the Wolf are soo beautiful together 😍 Nice Video 👍

i dont think i have ever seen a dog this confused before in my life

wow you can see the wolf movement and gestures in the garden. fascinating :)

People say wolves aren't pets, and I mean they AREN'T but mankind DID allow wolves into their lives all that time ago.

OMG Soo cute! He's such a shy boi. He wants those pets but is soo unsure, I love it!

it’s like he’s debating with himself as to why he shouldn’t eat her

You raised your wolf dog so well it's honestly insane not aggressive in the slightest and he is a big baby 💯

Kane is such a dorky fluffball! Love it! 💕

The wolf is trying to introduce her into the pack, he is running playfully around her trying her to chase him. That's one way for dogs introducing new members

Watching your vids is so enjoyable thanks

he's a wolf he's keeping he's distance because he's afraid of hurting them or he might be as confused as i am about love

So very interesting. Both are beautiful animals. They are so lucky to have such a responsible person. You are amazing. What dedication and love.

I'm cautious of people I don't know well either, as well as certain people I do know well.

Sit in the middle of the room/space, remaining relaxed... after having played with Harves a bit. Showing two sides one positive and one neutral to him as he gets to know you maybe. Letting him smell and see first, but also smelling him back slightly and remaining calm. Then going back to talking a bit and maybe trying to play again. P.S. And then I keep watching and that's largely what happens! Only other aspect I might think of doing with the humans he does trust is 'belly up' perhaps.

Damn,wish youtube was like this before

12k views with almost 900 likes with 0 dislikes. I wouldn't want it any other way

The size difference is absolutely apparent between a dog and a wolf-dog. HolyFFFFFFF

fun fact: dogs are the animal that kills the most people a year whereas the wolf barely passes 5 people killed a year

This wolfdog is so cool

So cute when their jumping to meet the person 🐺❤

When my Chihuahua mix is pleased to see my friend, he'll gallop towards her and then scamper in circles. He's clearly pleased to see her but excited to be off leash at our park too. It's quite funny. Reminds me a lot of Kane's running in circles here.

Kane looks like he likes that there's a visitor, but doesn't want to go near them lol.

One of my favorite books, "Never Cry Wolf" by Farley Mowat!!!

That wolf is gorgeous!

This is normal behavior for a wolf, to avoid company but still want to be involved, it’s very normal, and their energy levels are super high❕😘❤️wolves are amazing dogs to have.

The way he paces at 6:15 looks soooo elegant :)

You have beautiful dogs.

I want pets. …. Just…. without the touching…. Haha brilliant. I love it so much xoxo

The guy is his alpha, shows how loyal it is

He's a big scaredy cat LOL

Huskys are super intelligent, I knew one which was kinda aggressive towards people he didn't know, but as soon as they saw a new born, he that approached it, and he became as calm as a sheep and just played along, the same dog that once nearly tore my calf when it was still younger. He's a cool dog tho.

Nah, man, the wolf's just practicing good social distancing.

high quality content

Kane is so sweet... he wants to play so bad!!! Shy guy

New person? Must do the zoomies!!

Wolf dog is me when I'm about to order my food 🥴

Kane is me with people I don't know well. I feel ya, Kane!

He's a bungle of energy today

Kane reacts to people the same way my black lab reacts to the vacuum cleaner :p

U have such a cute wolf and husk and “hi”

The wolf is like, ugh I….just….can’t…..dog for this human

there both so adorable

Kane is shy with strangers? Is that the cautious wolf side of him?

*FREE CANDY VAN* Dog instincts: CANDY? FREE? TREATS? Wolf instincts: ...Something's up with this van... Wolfdog instincts: Is it really free? Doesn't cost anything? I want that candy, but... I really do want that candy... No, no - Maybe? Are there any hidden costs?

I see you have a pair of vicious killers there 😂

Your wolf dog howls, my dog does nothing, the doorbell rings, my dog barks for 5 minutes.

So cute

Now I really want to pet Kane... Probably wouldn't take me 5 min, and once a animal tasted my cuddly skills they can never forget it again. But respect to that lady, she knows how to act around animals.

“Who is it?” “Shut up I’m trying to listen!”

Aww!! Its okay sweet kane, there are some dogs who fear humans more then u do ;)

*confused zoomies intensifies

I’ve heard this is why wolf dogs don’t make for good guard dogs. They’re very shy and their aggressiveness arises from fear, rather than in dogs where it arises from protective instincts.

Harv and Kane doin a hip hop performance....looks like it anyway...🐺🐺👈👉👋👌

ok so it's kind of his wolf insticts that tells him to be caustious around people he does not see as in his own family? can it be trained away if you put them in tons of social interactions when they are puppies or is it somthing that a wolf will allways be caustius when it comes to strangers/people they don't know that well? like if i got a wolfdog puppy and then just bring him out everyday to parks and such where he get's to interact and get peted by random people (if he is comfortable with it ofcourse) like if i train him like you whould train a dog to just love all humans whould it be possible to make them less scared of stranger interactions?

Responding to your footnote : What DOES it take to wear out a wolf? (How old is each one?)

thats really cute and interesting

Your reasoning is quite sound with Kane. He is a beautiful boy, and while I personally would just want to meet him; I know it would be from a distance and that's just fine with me. Although Harvey prefers to be the star of the show so, it'll work out for him at least lol

Is wolf body language the same as dog body language? Like how she was outside his tail was low, almost tucked, as a sign of worried in dogs but when she went back inside his tail went in big circles, interest in a dog?

Look at him Standing there *wolf*

Smart lady, letting Kane get used to her.

DD! Doing good boy!

Kane: much graceful much introvert

looked like he wanted her to join in on the game of tag

*(Dramatic cat noises)*

Kane is a mood

Kane is me in wolf form. The introvert is strong with him
