Dogs have been bred for living close to man - wolves have not - they are wild creatures.

Re: Wolfpack Syndrome?
I don't agree with this theory because humans are not wolves... Humans are far more complex group animals, it's how we survived against enormous odds. It will ultimately lead to our own destruction.One of the first things you study in psychology is social identity theory. Tajfel's research really explains so much about human behaviour. You have the "in" group and the "out" group. The in group will exclude outsiders. Members if the "in" group will try to fit in lest they be rejected. Every group vies for power because they all want to be the "in" group. That's why games like football are so popular. It's why religions are so strong and why we have wars. The "one world" movement is about having one human group. But it's impossible to achieve because humans are programmed to behave in this way.
The strongest groups control everything. If someone powerful in any group feels threatened they will try to oust the threat. Only insecure individuals will try to do this. This is why sucking up works so well. Insecure people love to be sucked up to. You can find yourself ousted if you don't suck up to the strongest.

Then the next one would be picked out and the process would repeat until only a couple of the most obstinate ones remained.
Whoever were the "strongest" wolves, and survived, were not always the most intelligent.
He advised managers to be aware & prepared because it nearly always happened..
Strangely enough, maybe, you can see this at the Golf Club, and in many other places.
Have you seen it happen?
. I have never felt the need to be part of a group or to have someone else doing my thinking and decision making , I leave that to the sheep rather than the wolves
