I doubt you will remember me but 11 years ago on October 12, 2013, I bought my service dog Bella through your center. She was a yellow lab named Bella. I’m not sure if you ever get updates about your Service Dogs but I wanted to send you one.

Bella was my faithful service dog for 6 years and retired in 2019 due to an ACL surgery. After she retired she was my at home ESA until about a year ago when her age started to show.

This Saturday we had to put Bella to sleep and let her go. She had a stroke and her brain was shutting down. She died in my arms cuddling with me like she did every night. She was 12.5 years old.

She was my faithful companion to the end and she loved my children and husband fiercely.

I just wanted to let you know as well and thank you for giving me my life back by pairing me with Bella all those years ago. She changed my life and I have to thank you for that.

It will also cover the approach we take to feeding multiple dogs, as well as feeding dogs with special diets, and changing diets as your puppy grows into an adult. Choosing the best food for your dog can be both confusing and daunting with all of the available options, but we are here to help you through the process. Read More >>

Katherine Andrews

Animal Behaviorist

Animal Psychology Center in Philip, South Dakota, is a pet psychology center owned by animal behaviorist and trainer, Katherine Andrews. Services and training are available in Rapid City, SD, and many desperate owners have traveled in from other states for her specialized expertise.
My passion is to train and rehabilitate dogs with behavioral issues. Some even call me a "dog whisperer" thanks to my ability to work through particularly tough behavior problems and help with aggressive dogs, even when other trainers have failed and owners have nearly given up.
Through my early love for animals, I developed it into a lifetime career and commitment. Backed with 20 years of animal training experience, I take pride in making life better for people and pets through my animal psychology services.

Qualifications:

- Head Trainer for Lane Logan Memorial Foundation
- Better Business Bureau Rating A+
