Wolf’s Lair K9 is a professional dog training business founded by Carlos D. Aguirre, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and Master Trainer certified by the Tom Rose School for Dog Trainers, and his wife Elizabeth. They offer personalized training solutions tailored to each dog’s learning style, focusing on building a balanced, strong bond between owners and their pets. Services include Boot Camp (board and train), private in-home training, day training, and specialized programs for behavior modification, obedience, and working dog skills. They train puppies, adolescents, and adult dogs of all breeds, including rescue dogs with reactivity, aggression, or anxiety. Their methods combine positive reinforcement with balanced techniques, using tools like training collars and treats. They also provide training tips, resources, and have been featured on Fox News for home training solutions.

Carlos has extensive experience training military, police, service, and competition dogs, and his Belgian Malinois, Beulah, is a certified service dog. Elizabeth is a dedicated dog rescue advocate with years of experience fostering and rehabilitating Pit Bulls, including training her own rescue, Luigi, as a service dog. Together, they help families transform challenging behaviors into calm, obedient companionship.

In addition to training, they offer dog boarding through their Boot Camp program and sell dogs, but do not provide grooming, walking, daycare, or pet sitting services.
