Method

"Training is conducted using balanced, LIMA-based methods—Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive—with a

focus on guidance, consistency, fairness, and a stronger relationship between dogs and their

owners."

Booking and offers

"Every new client can start with a free consultation. Andrew will talk through your dog's age,

temperament, behavior, routine, and training goals before recommending the right service or

program." Additional stated benefits: a $25 referral credit toward future services for each referral

that books, and a 15% multi-dog discount on boarding or daycare for each additional dog from the

same household.

Service area

"Based in Monroe, Dog Psych Board and Train regularly works with dog owners across Downriver and

Southeast Michigan, including Trenton, Grosse Ile, Woodhaven, Flat Rock, and parts of Metro

Detroit." Because residential programs need travel mainly for drop-off, pickup and follow-up,

"clients also come from Temperance, Dundee, and Toledo-area suburbs."

Background

"From a young age, I've had a natural connection with animals… Growing up with an Australian

Shepherd helped inspire my lifelong interest in canine behavior, communication, and the way dogs

respond to structure, consistency, and trust." The practice began with one case: "My path as a

trainer began when I helped a friend whose dog was at risk of being rehomed due to behavioral

issues. Through patience, structure, and a balanced approach, I helped that dog build trust and make

lasting, meaningful progress."
