MONETT, MO – March 03, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –
Monett Veterinary Hospital has expanded its pet boarding services to include integrated training programs for dogs, addressing the growing demand from Aurora, Missouri area pet owners seeking comprehensive care solutions that combine boarding with behavioral development.
The expanded Monett Vet Dog boarding with training program represents a strategic enhancement to the hospital’s existing boarding services, providing pet owners with an opportunity to address behavioral concerns while their dogs are in professional care. The initiative combines the hospital’s established boarding facilities with structured training sessions designed to reinforce positive behaviors and address common challenges such as leash pulling, excessive barking, and basic obedience commands.
“Pet owners increasingly recognize that boarding time can serve dual purposes, providing both safe accommodation and valuable training opportunities,” said Erin Carnes, Director of Boarding Services at Monett Veterinary Hospital. “Our integrated approach means that dogs return home not only well-cared for but also with improved behavioral skills that enhance the human-animal bond.”
The training component of the boarding program includes daily structured sessions focusing on fundamental commands, socialization exercises, and individualized attention based on each dog’s specific needs and temperament. Professional staff members work with boarding guests throughout their stay, incorporating training into feeding times, exercise periods, and play sessions to create consistent reinforcement patterns.
Monett Veterinary Hospital’s boarding facility features climate-controlled indoor spaces, secure outdoor exercise areas, and separate accommodations designed to reduce stress and promote comfort during extended stays. The addition of training services builds upon the hospital’s 70-year legacy of serving southwestern Missouri’s pet care needs since its founding in 1953 by Dr. C.J. McCormick.
The enhanced boarding program complements the hospital’s comprehensive range of services, including Monett Vet Diagnostic Services, which encompasses radiology, internal medicine evaluations, and complete in-house laboratory testing. These diagnostic capabilities enable the veterinary team to address any health concerns that may arise during a pet’s boarding stay, ensuring continuous monitoring and immediate medical attention when needed.
The American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) accredited facility has maintained its commitment to excellence in veterinary care, having received the AAHA Commitment to Excellence Award in 2007 and the Veterinary Economics Architectural Award Excellence for its facility design. The hospital’s comprehensive approach to pet care extends beyond medical treatment to include preventive wellness programs, surgical services, grooming, and the TLC Wellness Care program.
Monett Veterinary Hospital serves the communities of Monett, Aurora, and surrounding areas in southwestern Missouri. The hospital provides routine and specialized veterinary services including orthopedic surgery, laser surgery, radiowave surgery, and a complete pharmacy. The facility’s boarding services operate with extended hours to accommodate pet owner schedules, with special arrangements available for pick-up and drop-off times.
