Redhawk Caldera Mama said knock you out

Fox rushed him immediately, without a single hesitation or hint. This was enough to cause Nightjar to pause, and she was upon him in an instant. Ordinarily, this was cause for any wolf to instantly submit, but Nightjar himself was bold to the point of stupidity. He was without fear, at least when it came to fighting, because his instincts always took over for him, as they did now.

So when Fox loomed over him, the puppy didn't surrender as his mind should have told him to. He lashed out as his body told him to. He would not hurt his mother intentionally, not even a little, but nothing about what he was doing now was intentional; in fact, it was all instinctual. His brain was no longer engaged, and only his blood was doing the driving, and his blood thrummed hotly with the threat of losing. So as she easily barreled him over, he struck with his teeth, limiting his growing strength just enough that the damage would still be minor, at the chest right in front of him.

At the same time, he scrabbled at her undersides with his hind paws (again, not with the intent to hurt, but likely scraping despite his intentions) looking for a way to trip her up and gain the upper hand, though she was still larger and probably had him solidly pinned no matter what he did. Fox was his mother and Alpha, but she was now also an opponent, meaning he couldn't give up without a fight.
