Our Story Begins with a Wolf Woman’s Legacy

Jennifer McCarthy, fondly known as the "Wolf Woman," isn't just our founder; her core values inform everything we do here at OutPaw. Her profound connection with the canine world, developed through years of training dogs, time spent studying wolves in the wild and dedication to her beloved pets, has woven a rich tapestry of knowledge and passion into the fabric of OutPaw Essentials. Her expertise in canine behavior has made her a sought-after consultant, educator, and trainer to the stars. Jennifer's legacy is not just a tribute to her work but a roadmap for us, guiding every step, from design to delivery of our top-tier pet gear.
