By working with only a small number of dogs at a time, we’re able to provide each one with the focused attention and tailored guidance they need to thrive. Dogs in our program live in our home and are fully immersed in a real-world environment where training happens naturally throughout the day.
We offer a variety of program options to meet the needs of each dog and household. Our Three-Week Board & Train for Basic Obedience is ideal for dogs who need to learn foundational skills and everyday manners. Our Four-Week (or longer) Behavior Modification Program is designed for dogs struggling with reactivity, aggression, fear, anxiety, or other complex behavioral challenges. We now also offer Weekday Boot Camps, where dogs train Monday through Friday and go home on weekends — available in Three-Week and Five-Week options. For owners who prefer a lighter schedule, our Day Training Program provides three days a week of structured training while your dog returns home each day.
Throughout their stay, dogs receive 24/7 structure, supervision, and hands-on guidance. We focus on building strong daily routines and reinforcing calm, respectful behavior—but it’s not all work and no fun. We strike a healthy balance between training and play, giving each dog time to decompress, explore, and just be a dog in a safe and structured environment.
This home-based setup allows us to address behaviors as they naturally arise and help your dog learn how to navigate everyday life with confidence and self-control. It also creates a deep, trust-based relationship that supports long-term success.
Once your dog graduates from our program, they’re always welcome back. We offer boarding exclusively for Monument City Dog alumni, so your dog can return to a familiar, structured environment with people they already know and trust—whether you're going out of town or just need extra support.
