Testimonials
“Erin is able to explain dog behavior in a way that makes sense, she also doesn’t over complicate training. She’s deeply empathetic and has always made me feel supported.”
– Team Fozzie
“Erin has been a godsend for our anxious, reactive dog. If you’re looking for a highly skilled, compassionate trainer who knows their stuff, look no further.”
– Team Poirot
“I couldn’t possibly recommend Erin and Little Wolf Dog Training enough! Benjamin’s tail wags so hard when he sees her, I’m always afraid he’s about to take flight! We are longtime day school fans in particular. I love that Benjamin has a safe space where he can learn and hang and play, all supervised by someone who understands (and loves) his quirks.”
– Team Benjamin
