Joey Luke’s Dog Training

Joey Luke’s Dog Training offers three core programs: 1) The Puppy Program builds foundational skills during the critical early learning stage; 2) The Board and Train program is an intensive 3-week immersive experience where dogs live with the trainers and learn obedience, impulse control, and behavior correction in a home environment; 3) The 1:1 Private Training program provides in-home coaching for owners to work with their dogs at their own pace, with ongoing support. All programs include post-program guidance, and clients receive free monthly group touch-up classes. Board and train clients get a 2-hour pickup training session to learn how to maintain results.

Joey Luke’s Dog Training is a family-run dog training business based in Northville, MI, founded by Joey Luke and his wife Nicole, both with deep roots in dog rescue. They offer personalized dog training services including board and train, private in-home lessons, and puppy training, designed to build strong foundations and resolve behavioral issues. Their approach emphasizes empathy, consistency, and custom programs tailored to each dog and family’s needs, with a focus on creating harmony between pets and their owners. They guarantee results on all services and provide ongoing support, including free group touch-up classes and in-home follow-ups. The team includes experienced trainers like Chelsea, who specializes in rescued and reactive dogs, and they train dogs of all ages and backgrounds, from anxious seniors to high-energy puppies.

They use a balanced training method that combines positive reinforcement with humane correction tools like e-collars and prong collars when appropriate, always prioritizing clear communication and the dog’s emotional well-being. Their board and train program immerses dogs in a home-like environment where they learn obedience, leash manners, and impulse control alongside the trainers’ own dogs, not in a kennel. Families receive hands-on coaching upon pickup to ensure long-term success.

The business serves a wide area including Novi, Canton, Livonia, Plymouth, Farmington, South Lyon, West Bloomfield Township, Lyon Charter Township, and Ann Arbor, MI, and offers free consultations to help dog owners choose the right program.

Accomplishments

Joey Luke began training dogs over a decade ago through rescue work, helping dogs on “death row,” and co-founded the business with his wife Nicole, also a rescue advocate. The team has successfully transformed reactive, fearful, and high-energy dogs into well-behaved family companions, with documented success across hundreds of cases. Their commitment to ethical, hands-on training and client education has earned them strong community trust and repeat clients.
