Decoying & Discipline ~ the art of training with Jared Wolf | Wolfpack Canine

Season 1 · Episode 10

Tuesday, June 15, 2021 • Duration 52:52

Jared Wolf is a PSA K9 Decoy, professional dog trainer & owner of @wolfpackcanine in New Hampshire, and a certified badass handler to his 2 year old Malinois @akuma_the_mali.

Jared was inspired to go into PSA by his pitbull Thai, a true Unicorn who possessed all the qualities needed for a successful PSA dog. He had the temperament, drive, strength, etc. & checked all the boxes. Jared worked hard to pull those qualities out of him which lit his passion for dog training.

Unfortunately, Thai passed in a house fire - but his spirit lives on through Jared and his new Malinois, Akuma (who Jared says owes everything to Thai).

The duo is one of our favorite teams to watch. The training is like art with precise heel work and speed coupled with inspiring music that moves you.

Jared opens up about his experience as a decoy, how he got started and learned the ropes, how to improve a focused heel & speed, his goals for Akuma, and more.

Sadly, he did not do the #orbitchallenge PART 2 dance... but we will look forward to him and Akuma’s *drop dead* rendition.

Cheers to you, Jared! Thank you for sharing so much with us. Keep inspiring us all 🙏

He has trained and titled competitive obedience and protection dogs in AKC, Mondioring and IPO / Schutzhund and his online training provides countless animal shelters, trainers, and dog owners with humane solutions to their dog issues.

We called up Robert to help us with our biggest battle at the moment - crying & whining in the crate! (We apologize in advance for the crying.)

Hopefully this real world situation is helpful for those facing a similar problem. Spoiler** the crying/whining does get dealt with... it just takes some time so be patient with us.
