It sounds gross, but.....
Wolves will usually protect their territory by marking it with their urine, just like dogs do. If there is a larger threat, e.g. bears or humans, then they are usually more likely to try to find a new territory. Usually, predators will just fight with each other if they can't find a wide enough range to stay away from each other, like if the area becomes deforested a lot and humans start to move in. Otherwise, they will tend to avoid each other's home areas. Predators are very sensitive to each other's smells, being able to instinctively avoid areas where there are lots of genetic rivals to them. It's done with pheromones, a substance produced by their bodies that the other animals can smell.
