Everyone, help me in giving a warm welcome to Cooper who has joined Little Wolf Canine Academy to become his best self!

Cooper is a seven month old Coonhound Border Collie mix who is already full of that working breed enthusiasm.

This sweet boy is going to be a big dog, so we are beginning a short series of targeted training sessions with his owners Jeff and Tiffany to set him up for long term success for a few behaviors that need addressing.

Our work together will focus on developing proper play skills so the children in the family have safe, structured ways to engage with him. We will also be building a reliable recall, establishing clear marker training, and guiding appropriate dog to dog introductions with their extended family’s dog where they frequent.

Cooper is an incredibly fun dog to train with an abundance of energy, so we are also incorporating strategies to help channel that energy both mentally and physically.

Welcome Cooper! I’m excited to play a small role in your development boy!

Wishing a heartfelt CONGRATULATIONS to my amazing clients Casey and Chelsea, as well as their incredible pac Russell and Poppy, on officially graduating their Behavior Modification training program.

Throughout our work together we focused on meaningful behavior modifications, including dog reactivity and developing calm, reliable leash skills both individually and as a pack. Place work was an integral valuable skill and tool we also added in to give structure to the day.

Casey and Chelsea showed unwavering dedication every step of the way, practicing their homework with consistency and intention. Their commitment and trust in the training process supported their dogs to now move through the world with greater obedience , calmness, confidence, and in turn connection as a unit.

Watching this team grow has been SUCH a privilege.
I enjoyed so much working with this family and felt immense pride seeing how much progress they made together.

Their pack is now truly dialed in, and they are stepping into their next chapter of life with a deeper understanding of their dogs and more harmony in their everyday life.

Here’s to many more adventures, shared moments, and continued connection with Russell and Poppy. It has been an honor to guide you through this journey Casey and Chelsea!

It is my pleasure to introduce Kobe, the absolute rockstar mini GoldenDoodle, to the LWCA pack!

This amazing puppy stole my heart the minute I met him and his larger than life personality.

This little dude is just over 4½ months old and ready to begin his journey of confidence, independence, and foundational obedience skills.

Our focus will be on helping him feel strong and secure when left alone, targeting his separation anxiety and bringing out his inner “big boy” self.

His owners Kush & Sheryl are incredibly dedicated, ask thoughtful, intelligent questions, and are fully invested in helping Kobe reach the next level of training.

We’ll be shaping real world skills to help Kobe share life in every way possible with his owners social lifestyle.

I’m so excited to be part of this team’s success and can’t wait to keep you updated on this adorable pup’s evolution.

Love you Kobe! ❤️

It is my pleasure to welcome to Little Wolf Canine Academy the absolutely amazing superstar Bandit!

Bandit is a long haired French Bulldog whose stunning eyes and beautifully spotted coat first caught my attention at a local coffee shop a few weeks ago.

Fast forward a few conversations later and his dedicated owners, Hong and Paul, have joined LWCA to become confident leaders in guiding Bandit toward the obedience goals they have set for him.

We’re focusing on foundational obedience shaping essential skills, building focus and communication, and preparing Bandit for realworld success so his owners can enjoy their favorite downtown spots with ease and confidence.

This boy is all love and drive, and I can’t wait to continue working with him and his family. I absolutely love Frenchies!

Welcome Bandit! Love you boy! ❤️

You guys!! It’s my honor to announce a Graduate Spotlight wishing a huge congrats to Caitlin, Dan, & their gorgeous girl Riley!

This team has come such a long way! When we first began Riley was quite pully and reactive on the walk. Fast forward to building her skills and practicing structured pack work Riley now displays a confident loose leash walk with solid foundational obedience!

One thing I truly appreciated throughout this journey was how much heart Caitlin and Dan put into their training. They showed up every week with enthusiasm, embraced their leadership roles, and stayed consistent despite life’s busy schedule.

Now these incredible graduates have joined my Ambassador Program and are continuing Riley’s journey with the long term goal of getting this beautiful Golden confidently ready to join the LWCA pack walks!

Congratulations you three! 🎉 This experience has been not only SUPER FUN , but also full of heart and dedication. I’m so proud of the progress we’ve made together and am so excited to continue the journey!

Please give a warm Little Wolf welcome to Cairn Terrier puppies Willow & Sammy, along with their senior Golden Retriever pack mate Cooper!

The Cairn Terrier is one of the oldest terrier breeds, originally bred in Scotland to hunt small game among the rocky “cairns.” These spirited little dogs are known for their confidence, intelligence, and curiosity. I can attest having met them, this breed is small in size but mighty in personality!

Willow and Sammy are eager to learn new skills and I’m most excited to help them conquer their reactivity.

Their wonderful owner Kate had one beautiful goal, to be able to enjoy peaceful pack walks through her neighborhood, taking slow mornings and calm evenings to experience a meditative walk with her dogs.

When Willow and Sammy’s reactivity began to make walks stressful, that dream started to feel out of reach.

But not anymore. Enter Little Wolf Canine Academy to the rescue!

It’s my absolute honor and joy to help reawaken Kate’s dream of calm, connected, and confident leadership walks with her pack and together, we WILL make it happen.

Welcome to the Little Wolf family, Kate, Willow, Sammy, and Cooper. You’re in the best of hands. !

It is my absolute pleasure to wish a HUGE congratulations to my amazing client Kendall and her pup Teddy for graduating with honors the Puppy Foundational Obedience series!

I truly feel so honored to work with such dedicated clients and this incredible dog mom was no exception. In fact, Kendall is an absolute rockstar! 🌟

Between being a business owner, a busy mom, and raising not one but two puppies (shortly after welcoming Teddy, an adorable English Cream pup named Ranger joined the family!) Kendall has remained steadfast and unwavering in her dedication to the training journey.

Even through challenges, including the heartbreaking loss of her beloved senior companion Duke, Kendall faced everything with the utmost grace, strength, and courage.

I’m beyond excited to continue this journey with Teddy and his soon to join sidekick Ranger as we move into our next training series, focusing on real world experiences helping this pack thrive together in every aspect of family life.

I couldn’t be prouder of this team! Watching their growth has been an absolute dream. You’ve made me so proud Kendall and Teddy and I can’t wait for all the fun ahead!

Wishing a Congratulations to Bailey and Mocha “Mo” on graduating their behavior modification series!

Their owner Lori was such a joy to work with, always showing up with a positive attitude, ready-to-get-it-done energy, and full trust in the process.

Along the journey, we introduced many new concepts and tools (crate training, many new rules and boundaries, slip leads, prong collars), while teaching and reinforcing new skills for her pack. Lori never wavered and each week I loved hearing her updates on how much progress she was seeing at home as consistency shaped lasting, positive change.

Family dogs can make consistency a challenge, but Lori led by example and committed to setting her pack up for success. Bailey and Mocha, despite being older, embraced their new follower mindset beautifully like they had been waiting for this their whole life.

This was such a meaningful experience, and I feel honored to have been a part of it. Love you Mo and Bailey!

Sending a HUGE congratulations to the amazing Muniz family, Chris and Laura, for graduating the Puppy Foundational Obedience Program with their superstar Bernedoodle pup Chloe!

These two absolute rockstars tackled every challenge puppyhood threw their way with leadership and courage that made me proud week after week.

Watching Chloe blossom and grow was such a joy, this sweet little spitfire has so much personality! From her hilarious aroooo’s (that always reminded me of my husky Aura) to the way she shifted gears depending on our training focus, she kept me smiling every session.

Chris and Laura, I can’t thank you enough for your dedication — always showing up, asking amazing questions, and putting in the work to shape a relationship of trust, obedience, and freedom with Chloe. You’ve already crushed a family trip to Yosemite, and I’m so excited for our next goal: getting Chloe ready to join the LWCA pack walks!

I’ve loved every minute of this journey with you three. Thank you so much for trusting me to be your trainer. Love you, Chloe!

Oh my God , Oh my God, Oh my God, Oh my God, Ohhhhhhhhh Myyyyyyyy GOD!!!
YOU GUYS!! LOOK AT THIS FACE!! 😍

Introducing a puppy whose smile and sweet , amazing vibes create the ultimate happiness pie, it is my honor to welcome the BEYOND ADORBS Squid to the LWCA family for training.

Squid is a young English Bulldog with the most wonderful temperament that impressed me right from the start in every way.

He is confident, engaging, intelligent, super connected to learning new things and takes the title for being LIFE OF THE PARTY.

Squid and his dedicated family are thrilled to begin the training process building a strong leader | follower relationship while providing the structure, guidance, skills and tools to set this youngster up for success.

In Squids Behavior Eval , he caught onto multiple new concepts in just one session. His family is now empowered to set new rules and provide leadership guidance around puppy biting, leashing up manners, how to use meal time to provide mental enrichments and these superstars are already working on teaching their pup to be in a follow mindset.

I am beyond excited to work with my amazing clients Ferdinand, Neda and their pup Squid helping set all of them up for a life of success.

I love you Squid and your little Squishy face! Sky’s the limit for you and we will reach for it together! 🥰

Everyone it is my pleasure to give a warm welcome to Pickles, the sweet as pie and very wiggly young doodle to LWCA for training.

This adorable pup is so lucky to have been adopted by the Mooney family who are the most dedicated, patient and committed dog owners. .rdn

I worked with Nick, Sabine and their wonderful kids previously when training their spit fire cattle dog Pittie mix Phoebe, and now we are at it again with their newest addition.

Our first priority was ensuring pack compatibility with slow and structured intro’s between Pickles and Phoebe with plenty of boundaries to ensure both dogs were able to get to know one another in a safe environment, void of pressure.

Next up on our goals is getting Pickles dialed for his foundational obedience, building compliance and skills to make him a joy to take on walks and share moments in the real world.

We are a few sessions in and already making great progress . To be honest, the biggest challenge so far has just been getting Pickles to sit still long enough for a good photo. Now that’s a work in progress that I WILL tackle LOL!

Love you Pickles! I am so excited to be working with you and have the honor of getting to know you!
