Is there any reason a wolf animal companion couldn't wear riding-dog barding if it was trained appropriately?

The only thing I can think of is lacking the necessary Armor Proficiency. That seems a bit beyond the bounds of a Handle Animal trick. You'd want to stick to armor types that have little or no Armor Check Penalty.
