Our Story Begins with a Wolf Woman’s Legacy

Jennifer is a fourth-generation dog trainer with over 30 years of experience working with everyone from A-list celebrities to military veterans. She trained personal protection dogs for The Chameleon Group in Los Angeles and studied wild and captive wolves in Colorado and Yellowstone, earning her the nickname “Wolf Woman”.

Her expertise led to co-starring with Cesar Millan in Dog Whisperer: Wolf Dogs – Out of the Wild, and she's been featured on Bravo, E!, The LA Times, the Wall Street Journal, USA Today and People Pets.

As a Master Dog Trainer, she’s handled court-ordered cases, trained service dogs for trauma survivors, and taught nationwide seminars. Today, Jennifer channels her experience into creating innovative products that help dogs and their humans thrive together.
