The Team
Who We Are
Shanti Panza
Founder & Lead Trainer
As the owner of Casa Monarca Dog Training, I lead with a holistic, relationship-based approach that prioritizes the well-being of the whole dog. With 10 years of experience, I have worked with a large variety of cases from therapy dogs to aggression. Every training plan and decision is guided by integrity, education, and a commitment to doing what is best for the dog.
