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.
--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/yolo-pup/support
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 🙏 -

Out of that mindset, the biz was born. The passion and purpose has always been to help owners live more fulfilled, enriched, and meaningful relationships with their dogs. In this live we discuss: - Clear communication - Importance of a balanced mind - Dog Training schedule - How to calm an over excited dog - How to greet visitors Thank you so much for joining us, Amanda!

Small Business Series with @yolopup.la & @etsuandme
"Our small business series is meant to shine light on the background of some of our favorite small businesses, their highlights and struggles as well as just honestly see what it’s like on the other side. My hope is to get to the heart of each person so we can bridge the gap between dog owners and small business owners.
Today’s episode is with Jillian from @yolopup.la We dive into her background in media and how that has helped her develop an inclusive community in the dog niche while also maintaining her mental health as a business owner."
YOLO PUP is an online resource & community designed to inspire deeper connection and play with your dog.
Ryka the Belgian Malinois is the inspiration and what started as a simple instagram page [@yolopup.la] has spiraled into so much more. As we showcased the reality of life with a high drive working dog and shared our own personal struggles, other owners and first time handlers going through similar challenges came to light.
The YOLO PUP line is made up of interactive dog toys & training tools we personally use. The gear is designed to challenge highly motivated dogs, empower pups & parents, and encourage owners to engage more with their animals.
The YOLO PUP collection began when Ryka was 8 weeks old and I was desperately searching for the perfect tug toy. I wanted a soft cowhide tug that would be gentle on her baby teeth, yet comfortable with 2 handles. Other tugs were too hard for her small mouth and she didn't care for the alternative textures. Cut to, the birth of the YOLO PUP tug.
With the help of world class trainers, we're able to provide training tools, techniques, and education to help dedicated owners & enthusiasts build trust and a life long bond with their dogs. Thank you to all the professional trainers for contributing to our weekly digital Q&A series, testing out our gear, and helping us fine tune what YOLO PUP is all about.
This has been a tremendous labor of love and we are so grateful for all the support and positive encouragement from the community.
We thank you. Keep training!
