Learning Course

You
will see vivid images of the valley, forest, lake and streams and of
course our wolves. The late 'lower valley pack' are seen early on,
followed by a tour of the large enclosure featuring the red deer
currently occupying this area. It then finishes with a personal
introduction to one of our socialised wolves - Kgosi. You will see
that the first stage of introduction to our enthusiastic ambassador
Kgosi is begun from behind a five bar gate. This ensures that the
introduction from both sides is controlled and that if for any reason
Kgosi feels unhappy with anyone or thing we can detect it and prevent
any possible problems. Remember that however socialised our wolves
may appear they are still wild animals. They are only socialised
rather than domesticated (a domesticated wolf is called a dog and
that takes about 2,000 years of selective breeding), therefore our
wolves are quite capable of natural aggressive behaviour if they feel
disturbed by something.
Once
it has been established that there are no apparent problems, Kgosi
can be lead in amongst the group more freely which often takes place
on a lawned area. An early control method which Tony taught Kgosi and
Madadh from a young age is to sit for a treat which helps to calm
their instinctive, boisterous tendencies. Individual characteristics
of the wolves will also make them more or less suitable for
introduction to people. Firstly they have to have been socialised
from a very young age as with Kgosi and Madadh. All contact is
dictated by the interest of our wolves, as their welfare is our
primary concern. We are fortunate that Kgosi and Madadh seem to be
very happy and content individuals who very much enjoy meeting new
people and so have proved to be excellent wolf ambassadors on these occasions.
