Let's Raise The Woof!
Elevating Life For Both Ends Of The Leash
Lansing's Top Dog Trainer
Games-based puppy & dog training for calm, confident companions — designed for everyday, busy Lansing professionals and families.
We Raise The Bar In Dog Training
At Raise The Woof, we grow resilient dogs through games—because when learning is fun, it lasts.
Our science-backed approach turns play into skills that create lasting behavior change and deepen the bond between dogs and their people.
We offer private, in-home training throughout the Lansing area and are proud to use force-free training methods backed by the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior (AVSAB).
Every program is thoughtfully designed to support real life for busy families and professionals and is 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.
Level Up Life With Your Dog
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. Dog guardianship is challenging, which is why we are dedicated in helping Lansing's dog parents address their dogs' undesirable behaviors through effective management, behavior modification, and giving dogs the freedom to simply be themselves!
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.
