From Wolves to Adventure Gear
Four Generations of Canine Expertise Meet innovative Adventure Gear.
Jennifer McCarthy isn’t your average dog trainer. A fourth-generation expert with over 30 years of experience, she’s worked with A-list celebrities, military veterans, and everyday adventurers. Known as the legendary “Wolf Woman” for her groundbreaking work with wolves, Jennifer’s mission has always been to strengthen the bond between human and dog.From Wolves to the Wild
Her journey has taken her from studying captive wolves in Colorado to observing wild packs in Yellowstone National Park, and trekking through the Rocky Mountains with her own pack of three dogs and two wolves. These expeditions gave her an unmatched perspective on what gear must endure—and what dogs truly need to thrive in rugged environments.
Her expertise with wild canines led to co-starring with Cesar Millan in Dog Whisperer: Wolf Dogs – Out of the Wild. When Cesar stepped back, Jennifer was invited to take over the show—a testament to her authority in the field. She’s been featured on National Geographic, Nat. Geo. Wild, Bravo, E!, The LA Times, the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, People Pets, and more. Her approach, rooted in Native American spiritual principles and modern behavioral science, has earned her recognition as a Master Dog Trainer worldwide.
Gear That Follows the Howl
After decades of training, testing, and trekking—from Hollywood to the Rockies—Jennifer created Wolf Woman Essentials: gear built for the trailblazing bond between human and dog. Every product is field-tested in real adventures and designed from insights gathered over generations of working with canines in the wild.
“I’ve seen what works and what fails—whether in Yellowstone’s wilderness or a celebrity’s home. This gear is built for partnerships that last a lifetime.”
With Wolf Woman Essentials, Jennifer brings her world-class expertise to adventurers everywhere.
Because when you’ve hiked the Rockies with wolves and trained dogs for leaders, veterans, and families alike, you don’t just make dog gear—you craft tools for extraordinary journeys.
“Definitely Not Your Average Dog Trainer”—and definitely not your average gear.
