Personal dog training and boarding with Davy Baton. Belgian expertise, 20 years of experience, and thoughtful guidance for life with your dog.
PERSONAL ATTENTION. EVERY DOG.
A good training session is only part of the story. Your dog also needs to learn how to settle, follow everyday routines and feel at ease in the world you share.
After running my own facility and working with other training centres, I created Monsieur Canine to bring structured training and everyday upbringing closer together.
“You train a dog within a system. You raise a dog beyond it.”
Meet your Belgian trainer →Whether you are building your puppy's foundations or planning a trip, care starts with understanding your dog.
Potty training and basic obedience, with a structured daily routine, short training sessions and personal attention. We begin at your home to discuss your goals and assess what is realistic for your dog.

A place for your dog while you travel. Dogs stay in spacious individual kennel rooms, each with a comfortable bed. Contact Davy to discuss your dog's routine, needs and available dates.
Enquire about a stay →Potty training and basic obedience through a board-and-train programme, followed by guidance for the people who matter most: your dog's family.
I observe your dog's behaviour and your interactions, listen to your goals and assess whether 45 days is a realistic timeframe. If more time is likely to be needed, I explain this before you decide.
Short training sessions, rest and relaxation create a balanced daily routine. Puppies also receive age-appropriate balance and body-awareness exercises. Potty-training puppies stay with me at home outside facility hours for round-the-clock consistency. Places are limited.
Every Friday evening, you receive an individual progress report, sometimes accompanied by a video. Our own record-keeping app helps us track your dog's information and training throughout the programme.
Three handover sessions at your home help you apply what your dog has learned. You receive a handover manual, with lifelong WhatsApp support for questions as you continue the work together.
Included in the programme Boarding · Training · Food · Weekly reports · Pick-up & drop-off · Three home handover sessions · Handover manual
Arrange a home assessment →I train as much as possible through rewards, building understanding, motivation and trust. The approach is adapted to the individual dog.
Encouraging the behaviours we want through motivation and clear communication.
A correction may be used for seriously unwanted behaviour, always fairly and in a dog-friendly way.
No e-collars or prong collars are used on young dogs.
No quick fixes. Clear, consistent guidance at home helps maintain the foundations we build.
We developed our own app to keep each dog's information and training records organised. Those records support the individual reports sent to owners every Friday evening.
You stay informed about your dog's progress, with a video included when available.
No. Each dog learns differently. During the home assessment, we discuss the goals and assess whether 45 days is realistic. If I expect more time to be needed, I explain this before you decide. The programme is not a guarantee of identical results for every dog.
Only puppies enrolled for potty training stay with me at home outside facility hours, because potty training requires a 24/7 commitment. Other dogs stay in individual kennel rooms at the facility, with a comfortable bed.
The 45-day programme is a board-and-train stay. It includes three handover sessions at your home afterwards, so you can continue applying the training consistently.
Yes. Tell me what you are experiencing. We can assess your dog's behaviour and discuss an appropriate approach during the home visit.
Yes. Boarding is also available separately for owners who are travelling. Contact me with your dates and your dog's needs to discuss availability and arrangements.
I build the foundations and show you how to use them. Your consistency at home matters. I remain available for life via WhatsApp to help with questions and maintaining the learned skills.
