Silvertip Mountain In teaching, you will learn

Steady successfully grabbed a hold of Moon Shadow's scruff, and he gently, but firmly, held his grip, not hurting her, but allowing her to realize she got herself in a bit of a pinch. She asked what she was supposed to do now, and Steady let her go, not being able to answer otherwise. He sat back on his haunches, an indication he wasn't going to attack her again. It's a difficult thing to get out of. Usually, in a fight, if a wolf gets a hold of your neck, he's either going to force you to submit, or he's going to try to kill you, he explained seriously.

He paused a moment to let that sink in. You could try to wiggle out of it. The bad side could be you rip your neck open if the other wolf has a strong enough hold on your skin; the good side being you get to continue fighting. It would have been a very bleak situation. He watched her carefully, trying to gauge her reaction to this session. How are you feeling? he asked. He supposed it could be very overwhelming to begin to realize how many things could go wrong in a fight, but he hoped she also realized what could go right once she got some experience under her belt.
