Meet The Team

Erin Whelan

Founder, Little Wolf Dog Training

CPDT-KA, CSAP-BC, FDM

I’m Erin, that little guy next to me is Oliver. For over a decade I’ve been helping dogs and their guardians make meaningful behavior change and improve their relationships. Through humane, science-backed techniques I’m able to help my clients achieve sustainable results without damaging their bond with their dogs.

When I work with clients, my goal is to give them the knowledge base and skills they need to succeed without me. They learn how to build new behaviors and also how to reduce and prevent unwanted behaviors.

I work with dogs of all ages but specialize in resource guarding, leash-reactivity, handling sensitivities, cooperative care, and separation anxiety.
