A specialty service for your not-so-chill dog

Attendance NOT required , we do all the heavy lifting!

This service is for you if:

Sam, founder of Wolf.Man Dog Training & Consulting, specializes in reactive dogs and adolescent dogs (ages 5 months to 2 years).

If your dog is barking and lunging on walks, or if that perfect puppy you got a few months ago is now a teenaged terror, we can help you!

The most common problems we hear:

  • I don’t have the time to train my dog

  • I don’t know what to do when my dog isn’t responding to training

  • I can’t remember what the trainer said about this one thing

  • I’m just not seeing any progress

The toughest part about training is consistency, which pretty much includes all of the problems above. If this resonates with you, our services are for you!

Training while you’re at work

Convenient and easy!

  • No need to arrange drop off or pick up — we come to your home.

  • We handle the frustrating and time consuming parts of training your dog, so you can focus on rebuilding your relationship with your 4-legged family member.

  • We install new behaviors that will set you up for success long after your package is over

How does it work?

  • We build your custom plan during our consultation!

  • You schedule all your sessions at the time of sign up — set it and forget it! We handle the rest

  • Each session is recorded with the key elements and highlights broken down for you via video

  • You’ll get a video playlist each day that will help you to quickly review what your dog learned that day! No more reading long, overly detailed recap emails — we know that can be exhausting.

  • Consistent communication to make sure things are running smoothly. We’re just a text away!

Currently serving the Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax and Springfield areas of Northern VA

What my clients have to say . . .


Working with Sam has been a game changer for our leash reactive dog! We chose the Big Feelings package for 3 weeks followed by a few additional sessions. After a couple months of working with Sam, our dog is much more confident outside on leash and we are all better prepared to manage dog sightings to avoid big reactions. We’ve seen our dog choose to create distance between herself and other dogs instead of barking and lunging, and we have many more tools in our toolbox for helping her navigate triggers.
