Dog Days at the Farm at a Glance
Event Location and Details
Dog Days at the Farm will take place at Atlanta Dog Trainer's farm at 12900 Freemanville Road in Alpharetta, GA 30004. The facility serves dog owners from Alpharetta, Milton and communities throughout Greater Atlanta, with training, boarding, daycare, and enrichment programs available at one location. For event questions, call the training team at (404) 304-2250 or contact Atlanta Dog Trainer.
Inside Dog Days at the Farm
Dog Days at the Farm will bring training, enrichment, and local pet businesses together for a family-friendly afternoon at the farm from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM. Visitors will be able to watch the Atlanta Dog Trainer team demonstrate how dogs learn through movement, scent, water activities, and obedience exercises, and guests who purchase a ticket can join in two mini sessions of their choosing. The goal is not simply to entertain. Each demonstration will show how structured activities can support confidence, focus, communication, and a stronger relationship between a dog and their family.
The event will also feature a vendor marketplace, food trucks, and music from a local DJ. Pet Wants will offer premium, small-batch pet food and treats, while York and Euro will bring handmade dog bandanas and accessories.
What Can Families Learn From the Dog Training Demonstrations?
Families can learn how different training activities meet different physical, mental and behavioral needs. Dog agility training challenges dogs to move through obstacles while listening to cues, which can improve coordination and handler communication. Nose and scent work gives dogs a focused way to use their strongest natural sense and can be especially valuable for building confidence. Guests can watch these demonstrations for free, or purchase a $30 ticket to join a mini session and try agility or scent work with their own dog.
The planned dock diving demonstration will show how water activities can provide exercise and enrichment for dogs that enjoy swimming. Atlanta Dog Trainer's dog pool and dock diving programs use a dedicated 52-foot pool for lessons, practice, and low-impact activity.
Training Programs to Explore at the Farm
Visitors can explore training and enrichment options for puppies, adult dogs, active dogs and dogs that need behavior support. The team offers puppy training, private lessons, group classes, behavior modification, agility, nose work, swimming, dock diving and a residential Board and Train program. Each program addresses a different goal, from foundational manners and socialization to confidence building and advanced activities.
The festival is also an opportunity to ask the training team how a program works and whether it may fit a specific dog. Families can describe their goals, learn what participation involves, and see several activities in action before deciding on a next step. Program recommendations should account for the dog's age, health, temperament, experience, and comfort in a group or activity setting.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a cost to attend Dog Days at the Farm?
General admission is free, so guests can watch every training demonstration at no cost. Guests who want to participate can purchase a ticket for $30 to join two mini sessions of their choosing (Agility, Scent Work, or Dock Diving).
Is Dog Days at the Farm helpful for families exploring dog training for the first time?
Yes, the event can help first-time training families understand what professional programs look like before choosing a next step. Watching trainers work can make terms such as obedience, enrichment and behavior support easier to understand, while informal conversations can help families identify better questions to ask about their own goals.
Can I ask a trainer which program may fit my dog?
Yes, visitors can ask general questions about which services may align with a dog's age, temperament, experience, and training goals. A brief conversation is not a full behavioral assessment, so the team may recommend a separate consultation when a dog has complex needs or safety concerns.
Is a busy community event a good fit for a shy or reactive dog?
Not always. Crowds, unfamiliar dogs, music and new surroundings can be overwhelming for dogs that are fearful, reactive or easily overstimulated. Families can still attend without their dog, gather information and speak with the training team about lower-pressure options that may be more appropriate.
What should I consider before choosing agility, scent work or dock diving?
Consider your dog's physical health, age, confidence, motivation and comfort with the activity. Agility involves coordinated movement, scent work centers on scent-based problem-solving, and dock diving requires comfort around water. A trainer can help identify an activity that is safe, engaging, and suited to the individual dog.
