Dog Boarding Stress-Free

2-Week North Georgia Dog Board and Train

Consistency is the key to dog training.  We believe that being immersed in a controlled environment helps dogs learn.  Two-week programs are customized to each dog's needs. We aren't a cookie-cutter training facility.  We believe in small numbers and lots of one-on-one attention.  The two-week course includes additional practices that help take your dog’s training to the next level rather than basic level care.

The two-week plan provides the following:

  • Luxury Climate-Controlled Facilities in a Real Environment - We knock on doors and provide real home situations. 
  • Basic Obedience Skills and Basic Off-Leash Obedience
  • Extra Activity - Play Time and Love Up Sessions
  • Interactions and Distractions with our pack
  • Advanced On-Leash Training
  • 3 off-property sessions (taking the dog out of the home environment and into a real-world situation)
  • Take-Home Session - 2 hours average
  • Industry Top E-Collar Provided
  • Baseline Behavioral Modification
  • Support Available via Text, Email, or Calls

Bring your dog along to meet us. If you have travel plans, please consider setting up your visit well ahead of time so that we can be sure to schedule a convenient time for you before your trip
