Don't give up on the crate training, because you're now the best pack leader the wolf has. We steal pups after just 8 weeks, but did you know, "[a] wolf may disperse from its natal pack when it is as young as 12 months old. In some cases a wolf might disperse and breed when it is 22 months old - the second February of its life." So remember, you're the alpha extension to guide your family member through journeys successfully. Good luck.
