Editorial policy

Dogmindlab publishes original English field notes by Andrew Darov. The standard is a protocol you can run, not a mood board. If we cannot name the criterion, the failure mode, and the next drop in difficulty, we do not publish the page.

Authorship and expertise

The byline is always Andrew Darov, professional dog trainer. We do not ghost-write celebrity names onto the work. We do not claim veterinary credentials, invented diplomas, television appearances, or a country of residence we do not have. We do not publish fake client reviews or composite testimonials dressed as evidence.

What a page must contain

• One H1. A unique title and meta description.
• An answer in the opening stretch, before the atmosphere.
• Headings written as questions the reader actually has.
• A visible FAQ that only includes questions already on the page.
• Failure modes, and a ladder or day-by-day when the protocol has a sequence.
• A fence for medical and true-aggression problems, pointing to real help — not a fake URL.

Sources

Training-floor mechanics are written as trainer protocol. When we leave that floor — socialisation windows, what a crate is for in public-facing welfare language — we point at public documents such as the AVSAB socialisation position and ASPCA/AKC crate overviews. We paraphrase. We do not scrape. We are not “vet reviewed.”

Corrections

If something is wrong, write contact@dogmindlab.com. Substantive corrections get a visible updated date on the article. We would rather date-stamp a change than pretend the lab never misses.
