Let's Raise The Woof!
Elevating Life For Both Ends Of The Leash
Innovative, effective dog and puppy training designed for everyday Lansing-area dog parents.
Our Expert Led Training Services:
Offering private, in-home training or training at our Mason facility using force-free and evidence-based training backed by the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior (AVSAB). All led by your Certified Family Dog Mediator.
Dog Training & Behavior Modification
From jumping, excessive barking, to leash pulling, we'll address everything from life skills to more challenging behaviors like fear or over arousal. Whether your dog is new to training or a seasoned learner, our engaging sessions promote choice and healthy decision-making throughout life.
Puppy Training & Socialization
Our Positive Puppy Program, (designed for puppies and adolescents who are 8-weeks to 2 years of age), lays the foundation for a dog who flourishes into adulthood. We focus on socialization, life skills, appropriate chewing outlets, house training, loose leash walking, reactivity prevention, and more.
Tricks & Enrichment Training
Dog behaviors we find frustrating often result from boredom, excess energy, or a lack of confidence. By having fun with your dog and strengthening your bond through mental stimulation and physical activity, you can encourage the behaviors you are looking for while helping your dog feel more fulfilled and confident.
Raising The Bar In Dog Training
Our passion lies in enhancing the lives of pet parents and their dogs using modern, science-driven training methods.
Dog guardianship is challenging, which is why we are dedicated in helping Lansing pet parents address their dogs' undesirable behaviors through effective management, behavior modification, and giving dogs the freedom to simply be themselves!
We view dogs as individuals living their own experiences and with needs to be met, just like us. That's why each dog we work with receives a personalized training plan tailored to its personality and your lifestyle.
Learn How To Authentically Communicate With Your Dog
Our training approach goes beyond teaching cues; we interpret canine body language, address stressors, and modify environments to grow a supportive learning atmosphere and build a stronger bond between you and your dog.
Our Commitment:
Helping you and your dog genuinely understand each other while achieving your training goals.
We look forward to meeting you and your dog exactly as you are now and guiding you on this rewarding journey.
Our Mantra:
The only bad training session you'll have is the one you didn't do!
TESTIMONIALS
What others are saying:
Mandy was so great to work with! As first-time puppy parents, we had no clue where to start...
...but we knew we wanted to stick with reward-based, force-free training. On top of general obedience skills, Mandy helped us with reactivity training as well as potty training. Everyone always comments on how well behaved Max is, and we have Raise The Woof to thank!"
- Courtney I.
Mandy has done a great job training me how to train my dog! My dog loves the training but it is me who needs most of the work!
Very kind and energetic which helps motivate us both! Thanks so much!
- Mark C.
Mandy has an incredible ability to not only train dogs but also teach their owners how to be calm and confident.
Her approach is patient, clear, and effective, and I’ve seen such a positive transformation in both Cardi and ourselves.
