Wolves don't know what stun batons or pepper sprayers are. They do know what a rival pack is.
Act like a bigger, stronger pack, and they will retreat to their own territory. Stay with the group. Be aware of situation and surroundings. Call for help. Coordinate the response using language. The Canadian human/dog pack has millions in it. It's just out of sight and downwind right now.
A wolf will never be afraid of a lone human, in their own pack's territory, no matter how many weapons they may carry. It understands forward-facing eyes, large ears, and sharp incisors. It understands when you stare it down while your buddies move to flank it and cut off escape routes. They aren't afraid of humans, per se; they are afraid of better wolves. So to trigger that fear, you have to be the superior pack-hunting apex predator.
You can't teach one wolf to fear one human. You have to teach the whole pack to respect our pack's territory.
