Two Paths to a Better-Behaved Dog
Every dog is different. That’s why we offer two distinct training programs, both rooted in positive reinforcement, both tailored to your dog’s personality and your specific goals.
Play & Train
Play & Train
Train While They Play: Daily Daycare + One-on-One Training
Your dog comes in for a full day of supervised play with other dogs, plus dedicated one-on-one training sessions built around your goals. They go home tired, happy, and a little bit smarter.
Includes:
• Full day of supervised daycare & socialization
• Personalized daily training sessions
• Real-world learning in a social environment
• Progress updates after each session
• Skills reinforced across the full day
- Basic Obedience & Manners — Sit, stay, down, leave it, and polite greetings: the
foundation every dog needs. - Loose-Leash Walking — No more pulling, lunging, or dragging you down the sidewalk.
- Reliable Recall — A dog who comes when called, even with distractions, is a safer,
happier dog. - Confidence Building — For anxious, reactive, or undersocialized dogs, daycare is a
game-changer. - Impulse Control — Waiting at doors, not jumping on guests, staying calm around food
Board & Train
Board & Train
Total Immersion Training: Two-Week Residential Program
Your dog lives with us for two weeks of focused, structured training. It’s our most intensive option, ideal for dogs that need a significant behavior reset or for owners who need fast,
lasting results.
Includes:
• Full 2-week residential stay
• Multiple daily one-on-one training sessions
• Customized training plan from day one
• Regular progress updates & communication
• Parent handoff coaching at pickup
- Obedience Foundation for Puppies — Set your pup up for a lifetime of good behavior
from the very start. - Reactivity & Leash Behavior — Reduce barking, lunging, and overarousal on walks and
around other dogs. - Destructive or Anxious Behavior — Channel excess energy and reduce anxiety-driven
behaviors at home. - Advanced Obedience & Off-Leash Skills — For dogs ready to take their training to the
next level. - Socialization & Confidence — Build a dog who is comfortable, calm, and well-adjusted in
any environment
Dog Training FAQs: Atlanta
We welcome puppies and adult dogs of all ages. Puppies as young as 4 months can begin Play & Train once their core vaccinations are up to date. Older dogs can absolutely learn new behaviors. It’s
never too late to start.
For dogs with significant reactivity, leash aggression, or anxiety, Board & Train is typically the stronger starting point. The immersive environment and consistent daily work allows us to make meaningful progress quickly. Once foundational behaviors are established, Play & Train is a great way to maintain and build on those skills.
No. Our trainers use positive reinforcement exclusively, meaning we reward the behaviors we want to see more of. This approach is not only more humane, it produces more reliable and lasting results than punishment or force-based methods.
Dogs must be current on Rabies, Bordetella, and DHPP (Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvovirus, and Parainfluenza). We require proof of vaccinations before your dog’s first day.
We send progress updates after each training session so you’re never in the dark. For Board & Train, we check in regularly throughout the two weeks. You’ll know exactly what skills were worked
on, how your dog responded, and what to practice at home.
Our Atlanta location serves the greater Atlanta metro area. Contact us or visit our Atlanta location page for directions and hours. We also have a second location in Decatur offering daycare,
boarding, and bathing for added convenience.
New customers can register through our online portal. Once you’re set up, you can book your dog’s first session, schedule a meet & greet, or reach out to our team directly with questions about which
program is the best fit.
