How to unlock the Covenant: Watchdogs of Farron achievement in DARK SOULS III - Definitive Guide
but just in case you dont want to watch the video here are key notes to finding the wolf:
As soon as you walk out from the "Farron Keep" bonfire you will notice ruins of what look to be bridges, Keep on the right hand side of these and run straight
once you reach the final bridge you will see items over to your right (one will be a sunlight talisman, and the other is a Estus Soup so you can heal up)
Just past those items there is a ladder leading up, climb it and find your way inside and bingo
interact with the wolf and ask to join the covenant and there you have it achievement unlocked
Starting at the Keep Ruins bonfire; turn to the exit that does not contain enemies and head outside then down the bridge you'll see nearby. You'll know it's the correct bridge because in the distance you'll see an ominous door flanked by candles and junk.
About halfway down, turn to your right and you will see a nearby tower with slug enemies all over and inside it. Walk around this tower until, on the right side, you'll see a wall that leads to a small lit area with more slug enemies. There is a lit lantern so it is very hard to miss! They are surrounding the base of a tall ladder, so clear them out or roll through and climb up the ladder. Once at the top you can head to the right and you'll find a small doorway, inside which is another bonfire and the Watchdogs of Farron covenant leader.
Simply walk up to the giant wolf, kneel and ask to join the covenant. That should pop the achievement.
Here is a video playthrough
Near the end of Farron’s Keep, by the door you open by snuffing out the flames, is a tower full of slugs and next to that a ladder surrounded by more slugs. Head up this ladder and interact with the Wolf at the top. You need to get this Covenant to Rank 2 in order to acquire a unique ring, which requires 30 Wolf’s Blood Swordgrass.
You get two in the swamp area and can acquire others by fighting off interlopers or farming the Ghru enemies. Spawn at the Keep Bonfire and kill the Ghru Caster and Spearmen on the bridge in front of you – rinse and repeat. The drop rate is roughly one in thirty if you have the Symbol of Avarice, Golden Covetous Serpent Ring and use a Rusted Coin.
Watch the video on how to get there
For 10 blades you get a Weapon - "Old Wolf Curved Sword"
For 30 blades you get a Shield - "Wolf Knight Greatshield" and a Ring - "Wolf Ring"
Farm bloody blades. 3 enemies are standing right next to the fire.

It is easy to farm herbs for the covenant in the Ruins of the fortress in the same swamps (there is one of the torches nearby for opening the gate to the boss) - there are 3 Husks on the bridge (2 with a spear and one magician) - we kill them, return to the fire and farm again.
For easy and fast farming: Helmet of Greed, Rapier of the crystal enchantment expert, Golden ring of the snake (all this can be acquired already on NG+, after beating the normal game), pumped up Luck.
Sometimes summoned as a phantom to kill a host
