Little Wolf Dog Training

Erin provides excellent, thoughtful, and effective dog training services. She is truly an angel on earth when it comes to her trademark care, patience, and good humor dealing with every dog student as the individuals they truly are. We have been working with Erin for most of our dog Dolly’s life at this point. Dolly absolutely loves her time with Erin, learning positive behaviors, tricks, and gaining more confidence in all the right ways. We implicitly trust Erin as an expert behavioral specialist, and all around great person. We are particularly grateful for her expertise and consultative support of Dolly’s separation anxiety training. We highly recommend Little Wolf Dog Training to anyone who wants to improve the life of their beloved pup!

I can’t say enough about Erin and Little Wolf Dog Training. We were first introduced last year when I got my Bernedoodle puppy, Cornelius. He was (and still is) an extremely shy and timid dog with a lot of urban anxiety. Most walks ended up in a lot of pancaking in fear or reactiveness around other dogs/new objects. I really struggled with helping Cornelius to acclimate to life in the city (I live in the East Village so it’s extremely lively) and after being turned away from another program due to his reactiveness, I was referred to Erin and her Day School program in Midtown West. This was a game changer. Erin welcomed Cornelius to Day School and really helped to lay the groundwork to a well-adjusted and confidant dog. Through Erin’s Day School program, she began to socialize Cornelius with other pups in a safe and fully-supervised environment. Erin built upon his skills and introduced critical components to his (and my) training toolbox. Her positive reinforcement methodology was effective, engaging, and demonstrated a deep understanding on how to work with reactive and anxious pups. The daily report cards afterwards (along with pictures and videos) provided detailed insight into his day, as well as notes on what we should continue to work on at home. As an added benefit, this enabled me to return to work in office with comfort that Cornelius was well-looked after. I have also taken the Calm Canine group course with Erin and would recommend this to those who want to work on techniques to manage reactiveness in their pups towards other dogs. While the goal of Day School was to help acclimate and eventually prepare Cornelius for a transition to doggy daycare, he loves going to Day School so much that I continue to send him twice a month as a supplement to daycare (which Cornelius has successfully been able to transition to with Erin’s help!). Thank you so much to Erin who has really been such an invaluable resource and safe space for my questions and Cornelius’ development. I would recommend Erin as a trainer or her Day School program for those looking!
