Hello Rona,
wolves ,as other species too,are aggressive animals.
And it is an absolutely essential behaviour to show these forms of aggression I mentioned in my previous comment.Without them it wouldn't be possible to survive,reproduce and form a stable pack.
But we have to distinguish between any form of aggression and hunting behaviour.
Hunting behaviour is not an aggressive behaviour.
Neither form of aggression is involved if a wolf or a dog kills farm or other animals.
No social interaction between the two animals happens if a sheep gets killed by a wolf.
But any kind of social interaction is necessary to show aggression.
So defence work with dogs for example, is normally based on play instinct which is a form of hunting behaviour.
If you do it properly the dog doesn't fall into aggressive behaviour.
But that's another story.
