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.
What We Offer
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®.
From jumping, excessive barking, to leash pulling, we'll address everything from life skills to more challenging behaviors like fear or overarousal. Whether your dog is new to training or a seasoned learner, our engaging sessions promote choice and healthy decision-making throughout life.
Our Positive Puppy Program (designed for puppies and adolescents aged 8 weeks to 2 years) lays the foundation for a dog that flourishes into adulthood. We focus on socialization, life skills, appropriate chewing outlets, house training, loose leash walking, reactivity prevention, and more.
The dog behaviors we find frustrating often stem 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 want while helping your dog feel more fulfilled and confident.
Level Up Life
With Your Dog!
Dogs are sentient beings with big feelings and individuality (just like us humans). Our games-based training meets them where they are, with custom plans that fit your dog and your life.
We help Lansing dog guardians work through behavior challenges—while keeping training fun, effective, and helping build a stronger bond with their dog.
