- FOUR-WEEK SMALL-CAPACITY RESIDENTIAL TRAINING
Four Weeks of Focused Residential Training
Monarch’s Board & Train is an intensive four-week residential program for owners who want substantial professional involvement, a highly structured training environment, and a thoughtful transition of the work back into the home.
Dogs stay at the trainer’s private residence on a 25-acre property, with enrollment intentionally limited to a maximum of four client dogs at one time.

Is This Program Right for Your Dog?
Board & Train may be appropriate for owners who want an intensive training format, have limited availability for frequent private training appointments, or want their dog to receive concentrated professional training before transitioning the work back into the household.
Suitability depends on the individual dog, the owner’s goals, health and safety considerations, and Monarch’s professional assessment.
- Training may incorporate, when appropriate:
- Travel and vehicle behavior protocols
- Guest arrival and formal social event protocols
- Restaurant, hotel, and public venue proofing
- Extended duration place and down work
- Comprehensive owner handling documentation
- Owner Participation
A structured handover process helps owners confidently continue their dog’s training at home, with guidance tailored to maintaining long-term success.
Important: Owner participation remains essential. The go-home process teaches you how to continue the structure, communication, and training expectations established during the residential program.
