Our Guests spend more time outside playing than inside, in a run or a cage:
- More fun and playtime with other Guests
- The health benefits of exercise
- Your pet is ready to relax with you, not jump all over you and chew and tear up your furniture after you take him home
- Our Guests do not get conditioned to hard surfaces, such as cement, causing them to potty inside your home
Our Pet Resort is run by dog trainers, not kennel staff, so we understand your dog.
- We can read your dog’s signals, understanding if they are agitated, stressed, tired, lonely, or bored and react to these signals while they stay with us and can suggest methods to make your relationship better with your pet.
- We are rescue dog owners and have a genuine love and caring for your pet. We go out of our way to make sure puppies, nervous dogs, and senior dogs get plenty of human and animal attention.

DOES YOUR PET HAVE REACTIVITY ISSUES?
We are dog trainers so we have unique experience and solutions for dogs with reactivity issues. Because of our years of experience as dog trainers, we know how to read a dog's signals like stress induced behaviors, fearfulness, insecurity in new surroundings, separation anxiety, phobic behavior to noises, thunder, new visitors, and men.
PLEASE NOTE: we can board dog reactive pets but not people reactive pets as we want to ensure the safety of our valuable employees ($5 per day fee for dog reactive pets due to the special handling requirement).
Atlanta Dog Trainer Pet Resort offers:
- Multiple pick-up/drop-off times 7 days a week (excluding holidays)
- Vet care available
- Monitored police and fire alarms
- Secured premises
Announcing a New Training Service for the Busy Dog Owner at our Atlanta Dog Trainer Pet Resort!
Over the past number of months, our clients have consistently asked if there was a way for us to do some specific “add-on, refresher or touch up” training for their pet. Of course we all know that we only get very well behaved dogs here at the Pet Resort (wink, wink) but we also know that occasionally our dogs regress a bit and tend to conveniently forget certain commands, especially if we are too busy with life’s demands to reinforce what they may have learned in the past. Plus we all have dogs that we wish would have just a couple-three more obedience skills, right? Like not jumping up on every guest that comes to the front door?! Well, we believe we have a way to address your requests.
We are offering a few a la carte training options that allow you to see your dog every evening or we can train your dog over a one week rather than a two week boarding period. We realize we all miss our pets and want to be near them as much as possible so we have worked up a few shorter term economical training options. However, for puppies or dogs that need training from the ground up, we will need more training time so our 2 week board and train course or other training options would be more appropriate. It also should be noted that these new programs still require you, as the pet’s owner, to do some homework to reinforce what your dog has learned with us. Our “Go Home” meeting with you will cover what you need to do to maximize your pet’s training results.
All training will be at our Pet Resort on Howard Road in Cumming just north of Alpharetta. Rick Carpenter, our Canine Behavior and Training Specialist, is our resident Pet Resort trainer. He has been with us for a number of years and has a soft spot for working with the frequently misunderstood “Bully Breeds” so you know he has lots of patience and a big heart. Some of you may know Rick as one half of the Rick and Trish husband and wife training team with Atlanta Dog Trainer. The Carpenters work closely with local rescue organizations and have fostered over 100 (yes 100!) dogs over the last few years at their home…good folks. Rick’s bio: http://www.atlantadogtrainer.com/dogtrainers.php
Here is what we have put together:
- Private Lesson to focus on a particular behavioral modification: 1 hour - $65, $185 for 3 lessons
- 5 Day Day School - Regularly $450, Introductory Price: $395
- 7 Day Board and Train - Regularly $595, Introductory Price: $495
- 14 Day Board and Train: $990
For the 5 day Day School and the 7 Day Board and Train programs, pick 2 Behavioral Modification Commands from the following list, however, good behavior manners will be enforced during all training. Also, if your dog has already learned some of these commands, our trainer will consult with you as to what additional behaviors can be added.
- Sit
- Down
- Loose Leash Walking with a Sit when stopped
- Off: no jumping on people
- Place: as in “Go to your place”
- Drop It
- Leave It: as in leave it alone
- Wait: in car, in doorway, in motion for example
- Heel: beside you
- Come/Recall with distractions
- Manageability in high distraction environments: animals, people, cars
- Bite Inhibition
Other options exist for more advanced dogs such as Place commands given from a distance. We can also put together a customized “Dog Tricks” training program. All training will be a minimum of a 45 minute to 1 hour session per day that includes a “Go Home” transition review on the day of pick up. This lesson will go over what commands the dog has learned and how to reinforce the behavior once your dog is back in their environment.
All boarding fees, play times, and food is included in this price. Your dog will be served two meals a day in the morning and evening as guest of our pet resort. You are welcome to bring your own food, if you like as it does not affect the price either way. Remember, most dog boarding kennel training services do not include play times or a 7-day a week training program or the level of care we take with each of our dog guests.

All training is not guaranteed and progress depends on the temperament of the dog. Some dogs may learn slower than others and we will work at their speed without any unnecessary pressure put on the dog. Training will also have to be maintained consistently at home for your dog to retain everything learned in Day School and Board and Train training programs. You will have to generalize the behaviors to other environments once the dog is home.
