About Andrew Darov and Dogmindlab
Dogmindlab is a breed-notes and working-trainer publication by Andrew Darov. Reward-based, criteria-driven, management-first field notes for US, UK, and EU dog owners.
Dogmindlab is an English-language publication for people who live with dogs in the United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Union. It holds original breed notes and trainer protocols — crate introductions, night intervals, toilet schedules, mouth manners — written by one named trainer. It is not a kennel club, not the American Kennel Club, and not an encyclopedia scraped from a registry.
The byline on every page is Andrew Darov. Andrew Darov is a professional dog trainer from Russia. He runs a boarding and holding business and takes dogs in for a month-plus residential correction, then publishes that method in these articles. He leads seminars and teaches other trainers and veterinarians. He writes this English site for owners in the US, the UK, and the EU. He is not a veterinarian. There are no invented reviews on this site. If a page cannot tell you what to do on a Thursday evening in a kitchen, it does not belong on this site.

What this is not
Andrew Darov is not a veterinarian. These pages are not a diagnosis, a vaccine schedule, a toxin-dose chart, or a substitute for in-person help. There are no invented awards, television credits, or residency claims. There are no fake client reviews. There is no Russian-language edition and no marketplace branding from another business. We do not claim official recognition of any breed. You may see a breed described in a commonly used group — Sporting, Hound, Working, Terrier, Toy, Non-Sporting, Herding — as public knowledge about how dogs are often shown.

How the site is organised
Start at the breed finder if you are choosing a type. Use Puppy, Training, Behavior, Expert Advice, and Gear for the week you already have. The first published protocols are the puppy set: crate, night, toilet, mouth. Canonical host is dogmindlab.com.
