About Raise the Woof Dog Training

Raise the Woof Dog Training works from East 19th Street near Union Square and sells private, personalized training rather than classes.

The service list

Seven tracks are published: puppy prep (before the puppy arrives), puppy training, adolescent and adult dog training, fear and aggression, separation anxiety, new rescues, and virtual training. The split between puppy prep and puppy training is unusual and useful — the first is for owners who have not collected the dog yet.

The first appointment

The initial consultation is described concretely: ninety minutes, a deep dive into the dog's behavior, and immediate steps the owner can take for relief from the presenting problem while longer-term training begins. That is more detail than most practices publish about what the first session buys.

Who sends them clients

The business states that it is recommended by veterinarians, veterinary behaviorists, shelters, rescue groups and other trainers. Client accounts name the trainer Malia and describe a relationship that continues over years rather than one course.

Framing

The site is candid that New York City presents challenges that need experience, creativity and flexibility — an argument for customized plans over a fixed curriculum.
