Raise the Woof specializes in creating personal relationships with their clients. We pride ourselves on being relatable, communicative, and non-judgemental. We never want our clients to feel bullied or intimidated, because if we alienate the client, we lose the chance to change their lives, and their dogs’ lives. We liken ourselves to a cross between a personal trainer and a family therapist, for dogs and owners.
