Yes, animal companion rules lets you forgo the advancement you get at 4th or 7th level, and instead increase DEX and CON by 2.
Admittedly, I am fairly sure that a dog has better stats after it advances (no trip property though). So replacing your wolf with a medium dog might not be a bad idea.
And you can just say that it is the wolf dog son of your current mount. Your usual mount has gotten on in years, and you are retiring him to serve as a stud (because going home to just sleep, eat, and have all the ....girls... all day is the life we all want for our fuzzy friends).

This question is in regard to pfs rules. I heard that at 7th level instead of a wolf mount becoming large you could instead choose to have it stay the same size and it gets a bit of a stat bump. Is this true and if it is can you do it in pfs
PFS has no special restrictions on this.
Just refer to the normal Animal Companion rules found in the CRB.

Animal Choices
Each animal companion has different starting sizes, speed, attacks, ability scores, and special qualities. All animal attacks are made using the creature's full base attack bonus unless otherwise noted. Animal attacks add the animal's Strength modifier to the damage roll, unless it is its only attack, in which case it adds 1-1/2 its Strength modifier. Some have special abilities, such as scent. See Special Abilities for more information on these abilities. As you gain levels, your animal companion improves as well, usually at 4th or 7th level, in addition to the standard bonuses noted on Table: Animal Companion Base Statistics. Instead of taking the listed benefit at 4th or 7th level, you can instead choose to increase the companion's Dexterity and Constitution by 2.
