Board and Train in Monroe, MI for Calm, Real-World Obedience

This is not a kennel-style environment. Dogs live and train in a real home with structure, supervision, outdoor exercise, enrichment, and calm downtime throughout the day. Training is conducted using balanced, LIMA-based methodsโ€”Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversiveโ€”with a focus on guidance, consistency, fairness, and a stronger relationship between dogs and their owners.

Our services are designed to help dogs build better habits in real-life settings. Board and train programs offer an immersive experience with hands-on training multiple times per day, while private lessons and obedience programs help owners improve communication, timing, and structure at home.

Services include:

  • Board & Train โ€” 3-week immersive training program
  • Advanced Board & Train โ€” 4-week advanced training program
  • Private Lessons for leash manners, obedience, or behavior goals
  • Puppy Foundations for puppies 8โ€“16 weeks old
  • Foundational and Advanced Obedience Programs
  • Trick Training & Enrichment
  • Standard Boarding, Daycare, and Drop-In Visits

During training, dogs work on practical skills that matter at home and in public. Depending on the program, your dog may practice sit, down, place, stay, recall, leash walking, heel, impulse control, crate structure, controlled greetings, threshold manners, and calm behavior around distractions.

For owners who need daily care, standard boarding includes structured overnight stays with daily walks, enrichment, individualized attention, and a clean indoor rest space. Daycare gives dogs 2โ€“8 hours of supervised activity, downtime, and mental enrichment between 8am and 7pm. Drop-in visits include meals, potty breaks, and playtime for dogs who need care at home.
