Intensive 2-3 Week Residential Training for Lasting Behavioral Change
When weekly lessons aren’t enough and your dog’s behavior is affecting your entire family’s quality of life, our Charlotte board and train program provides the intensive intervention needed for dramatic transformation. Your dog stays with us, receiving multiple daily training sessions while you get the break you desperately need.
What Is Board and Train?
Board and train, also called residential training or stay and train, means your dog lives at our place for 2-4 weeks receiving intensive training throughout each day. Think of it as an immersive training experience where your dog can focus entirely on learning without the distractions and triggers of home.
Your Dog's Typical Day at Our Board and Train
7:00 AM – Morning routine and breakfast
8:00 AM – First intensive training session (45 minutes of focused work)
10:00 AM – Structured socialization with appropriate dogs
12:00 PM – Lunch and rest in comfortable boarding area
2:00 PM – Second training session focusing on specific behaviors
4:00 PM – Supervised exercise and play
6:00 PM – Evening training session and practice
8:00 PM – Settle time in climate-controlled kennel
This structured schedule means your dog receives 3-4 dedicated training sessions daily, plus continuous reinforcement throughout their stay – the equivalent of months of weekly lessons compressed into weeks.
Why choose board and train?
You’ve tried everything. Group classes where your dog was the “problem child.” Private lessons that showed promise but couldn’t stick. YouTube videos, training books, and well-meaning advice from fellow dog owners. Yet here you are, dealing with a dog whose severe behavioral issues are getting worse, not better.
Maybe it’s aggression that makes every walk terrifying. Perhaps it’s reactivity so severe you can’t have guests over. Or multiple problem behaviors that feel impossible to address simultaneously. You’re exhausted, frustrated, and starting to wonder if your dog will ever be the companion you hoped for.
Here’s what you need to know: When behavioral issues are severe, dangerous, or deeply ingrained, sometimes your dog needs more than an hour of training per week.
Our board and train program in Charlotte NC provides the doggie boot camp intensity required for complete behavioral overhaul. This isn’t giving up on your dog – it’s giving them the concentrated professional help they need to succeed.
The Casa Monarca Difference: Not Your Typical Doggie Boot Camp
Individualized Programs, Not Cookie-Cutter Solutions
While other Charlotte training facilities offer rigid 2-week programs for every dog, we recognize that a fearful rescue needs different intervention than an aggressive German Shepherd. Our board and train programs are customized based on your dog’s specific behavioral issues, temperament, and your family’s goals.
Transparent Process with Daily Updates
You won’t wonder what’s happening with your dog. We provide daily progress reports, photos, and video updates. You’ll see your dog’s transformation happening in real-time, understanding exactly what techniques we’re using and why. No mysterious “black box” training – just honest, professional communication.
Comprehensive Handoff Training
The biggest failure of most board and train programs? Sending dogs home without properly training the owners. Our go-home lessons ensure you can maintain and build upon your dog’s training. You’ll receive multiple transfer sessions, hands-on practice, and a written maintenance plan for continued success.
Behavioral Issues We Specialize in
Aggression & Reactivity
Dog-aggressive behavior that makes walks dangerous. Human aggression creating liability concerns. Leash reactivity so severe you’ve stopped going out. Our experienced trainers work with aggressive dog rehabilitation daily, using proven behavior modification techniques to create safe, manageable dogs.
Anxiety & Destructive Behaviors
Separation anxiety destroying your home. Excessive barking driving neighbors crazy. Destructive behaviors costing thousands in damage. These complex issues require the consistent training and structured environment our overnight training provides.
Multiple Issues Needing Simultaneous Address
When your dog has reactivity AND no obedience AND resource guarding AND leash pulling, trying to fix everything in weekly sessions feels impossible. Our immersive training tackles all problems simultaneously through intensive practice.
Advanced Training Goals
Beyond problem behaviors, our board and train excels at creating:
- Off-leash reliability for adventure dogs
- Public access readiness for service dog candidates
- Therapy dog foundation training
- Competition-level obedience
- Complete manners overhaul for family dogs
Our Professional Board and Train Programs
2-Week Jumpstart Program
Perfect for dogs needing basic obedience foundation or minor behavioral issues. This accelerated program includes daily training sessions focusing on essential commands, leash manners, and basic household behaviors. Ideal for busy Charlotte families wanting quick results for manageable issues.
3-Week Transformation Program
Our most popular program for moderate behavioral issues and advanced obedience. Three weeks allows deep behavior modification work while building reliable obedience. Your dog receives intensive daily sessions addressing specific problems while learning advanced skills.
4-Week Intensive Rehabilitation
For severe behavioral problems requiring complete overhaul. This extended training program is designed for aggressive dogs, severe anxiety cases, or multiple complex issues. Four weeks provides time for genuine behavioral transformation, not just suppression.
Custom Extended Programs
Some dogs need more time. Service dog preparation, severe trauma rehabilitation, or extremely aggressive cases may require 6-8 weeks. We’ll assess your dog’s needs and create a custom program length for lasting change.
The Go-Home Process: Ensuring Lasting Success
You’re Part of the Transformation
The training doesn’t end when you pick up your dog. Our comprehensive handoff process includes:
Transfer Sessions
2-3 hands-on lessons where you learn every command, see demonstrations, and practice handling techniques with professional guidance. These aren’t quick handoffs – they’re thorough training sessions ensuring you can maintain results.
Written Protocols
Detailed maintenance plan covering daily routines, command reinforcement, and management strategies specific to your dog’s needs and your lifestyle.
Continued Support
Our commitment extends beyond graduation. Alumni receive lifetime guidance, refresher session options, and immediate support for any questions or challenges that arise at home.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know my dog will be safe and well-cared for?
We maintain the highest standards of care with 24/7 supervision, climate-controlled environments, and trained staff. We’re fully insured and partnered with local veterinarians for any medical needs.
Can I visit my dog during the program?
While we generally discourage visits during the first week to allow settling in, we can arrange supervised visits when appropriate for your dog’s progress.
What training methods do you use?
We use balanced, science-based methods tailored to each dog. This isn’t about harsh corrections or purely positive approaches – it’s about using appropriate techniques for lasting behavioral change while building trust and confidence.
Will the training last once my dog comes home?
Yes, with your commitment to maintenance. Our go-home lessons and written protocols ensure you can maintain results. Most behavioral regression happens when owners don’t follow through – we give you every tool for success.
Do you guarantee results?
We guarantee significant improvement for dogs who complete our recommended program length. If you don’t see dramatic transformation, we’ll continue working with you at no additional charge.
