EXCELLENT Based on 4 reviews Posted on Claire TorrenceTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Her advice always seems to be the piece we’ve been missing from our puppy puzzle! She’s very knowledgeable and experienced but also puts her strong intuition to work in her relationships with her clients (4 and 2 legged alike)!Posted on Estela ClevingerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have had a wonderful experience with shanti training, our Doberman Sig. She has been able to Transform him into a whole New dog. He has made a huge improvement on his confidence, focus, and obedience with her training. Besides this, we also trust shanti completely and board our dog with her when we go on vacation. She sends me pictures and videos, and it give us much peace of mind that he is safe and being cared for. I can call her anytime with a question and she’s always there. If you have a high energy dog that needs training I cannot recommend her enough. She is awesome.Posted on Wendy VanHoyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have a very nervous dachshund, Oliver, who struggled with separation anxiety and excitability around other dogs. I decided to enroll him in the two-week board and train program with Shanti, and it was worth every penny. Shanti was incredibly professional and knowledgeable, and she returned to me a much calmer, more confident dog. She also took the time to follow up and teach me the tools to help continue reinforcing Oliver’s training once he was home. I highly recommend Shanti and her team for any challenges you may be facing with your dog. You will not be disappointed!Posted on Lynne BellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Shanti is really one of the best trainers I know. She has a way of being calm and firm and of explaining things that really help people. She's kind and compassionate and I would trust her with my dog any day of the week, and that's saying something!






Why Your Dog Acts Differently at Home Than in Class
Your dog might be perfect at the training facility, but the second you get home, it’s chaos at your doorbell, jumping on your couch, and counter surfing in your kitchen. That’s because traditional classroom training doesn’t address the specific triggers and distractions in your home environment.
You’ve probably experienced the frustration of driving through Charlotte traffic for a group class, only to have your dog forget everything the moment you walk through your front door. Meanwhile, your partner missed class because of work, your kids don’t know the commands, and now everyone’s doing something different.
Here’s the truth: Real behavioral change happens where your dog actually lives, not in a sterile classroom.
The In-Home Training Advantage for Charlotte Families
Train Where It Matters Most
When we conduct private in-home lessons in your Charlotte home, we’re addressing the exact behaviors that disrupt your daily life. Your dog learns to stop jumping on YOUR guests at YOUR door, resist stealing food from YOUR counter, and respect YOUR furniture rules. This isn’t theoretical training, it’s practical, immediate, and relevant to your actual life.
Convenience That Fits Your Schedule
Busy Charlotte families don’t have time to fight I-77 traffic for dog training classes. Our mobile dog training service comes to you with flexible scheduling, including evening sessions and weekend availability. No arranging childcare, no rushing home from work, no cancelled classes due to Charlotte’s unpredictable weather. We work around your schedule at your convenience.
Entire Family Learns Together
One of the biggest advantages of in-home training sessions is that all family members can participate. Everyone learns the same commands, uses consistent techniques, and understands their role in your dog’s training. Your children learn safe interaction, your partner can’t skip class, and even visiting grandparents can maintain the training standards. This household consistency is impossible to achieve with traditional training.
Faster, Lasting Results in Familiar Surroundings
Your dog doesn’t have to translate lessons from a classroom to your home. When we train in your dog’s environment, addressing your specific home distractions, the results are immediate and lasting. Your neighborhood dogs barking, your doorbell ringing, your kids running around – these are the real-world situations where your dog needs to succeed.
Our Professional In-Home Training Process
1. Phone Call
We start by discussing your specific challenges, your home setup, and your family’s goals. We’ll schedule a convenient time for your initial in-home assessment and answer any questions about how house call dog training works.
2. Free In-Home Consultation
Our certified trainer comes to your home to observe actual behaviors in your natural environment. We evaluate your dog’s triggers, your family dynamics, and your physical space to create a customized program specifically for your situation. This isn’t a generic evaluation – it’s an analysis of YOUR dog in YOUR home.
3. Personalized Training Sessions
Each 60-90 minute private lesson focuses on your priorities. With one-on-one attention in your comfortable setting, we practice real-life situations using your home distractions. Family participation ensures everyone’s on the same page, creating the consistency essential for lasting results.
4. Between-Session Support
Training doesn’t stop when we leave. You’ll receive homework assignments tailored to your progress, plus text and email support for questions that arise. We track your progress and adjust our approach based on what’s working in your specific situation.
5. Long-Term Success Plan
Our commitment extends beyond the final session. We provide maintenance strategies, ongoing guidance, and graduate check-ins to ensure your dog’s transformation sticks.

Why Charlotte Families Choose Casa Monarca
When you invite a trainer into your home, you need someone you can trust. As an AKC Certified Evaluator, I bring years of experience working with every breed, temperament, and behavioral issue imaginable. But more importantly, I bring a holistic approach that addresses root causes, not just symptoms.
Unlike franchised training companies that send different trainers or use cookie-cutter programs, you’ll work directly with me throughout your journey. I’m insured, background checked, and committed to force-free methods that build trust between you and your dog.
As a Charlotte resident myself, I understand our community’s unique lifestyle and the importance of having a well-mannered dog who can join you at breweries, restaurants, and outdoor adventures throughout our dog-friendly city.
