Another vote for crate training. Our dog will be 14 this summer. Every evening when he's tired, he'll go to his crate and sleep. During the day, he'll nap in his favorite spots but at night he knows where his bed is at. When he was younger we used to close the door on the crate at night, but after a while that wasn't needed. When things get hectic around here (guests, etc.) he'll sometimes retreat to his crate, its in a quiet spot of the house. Its his home within our home.
You might want to take an obedience course. Its just as much for the pet owner as the pet. During the course, you establish that you are the dominant one in the relationship. Its very critical to do this otherwise you won't be able to control your dog.
Never tried a raw diet. One issue with that might be if you ever board your dog. That diet might be difficult for the staff to follow. We always provide the same food/treats when we board him when we're out of town. Boarding is stressful enough without a diet change on top of it. And if you do board, have your vet give your pup a shot to prevent kennel cough before hand.
And exercise you pooch daily. Take a walk - on the leash, of course. And not one of those retractable leashes, either. Get a good lead and keep your dog under control during the walk.
