At FullFocusK9, we provide personalized dog training for dogs of all ages, breeds and behavioral needs throughout Gwinnett CO and the greater Atlanta area.
Professionally, for more than 6 years, FullFocusK9 has helped families build calmer, more obedient, reliable dogs - and better relationships with their owners.
We don't believe in one-size-fits-all training only housing dogs in traditional kennel runs. Every dog is different, and their training should be too.
Our board-and-train dogs live and train in a home-style environment with their trainer. At our Dacula home base, dogs stay inside in our climate-controlled facility located right on the property. Every program is tailored to your dog's personality, behavior, needs, and your goals for life together.
Is your dog struggling with:
These problems can make daily life stressful. Fortunately, the right training can help.
Or maybe you want to:
Whatever your goal, we're here to help.
Before training begins, we take the time to learn about your dog: their personality, history, behavior, and daily challenges, and what life looks like at home so we can build a plan made specifically for them. No cookie-cutter programs, no generic solutions.
Our balanced approach uses clear communication, meaningful rewards, fair corrections, and real-world training to help to help you and your dog work as a team. We don't just teach commands - we teach your dog to make better choices, manage their emotions, and look to you for guidance.
Because lasting training starts with the relationship. When you can effectively communicate with and influence your dogs mindset, you build trust, reliability and a strong partnership that carries over into everyday life.
Home training is a great start, but real life brings distractions: other dogs, strangers, traffic, new places. Our trainers use proven, science-based methods and teach you how to keep the training going once we're gone.
What we offer:
We put heart into what we do. Your dog isn't just another number on our schedule, and we genuinely build a relationship with the dogs that join our FFK9 family.
We also believe you should know what's happening while your dog is with us. Daily updates and weekly videos are a part of our policy. We want you involved in the process, seeing your dog's progress and knowing how they're doing along the way.
We are a small business which allows us to be more hands on, more personable, and we genuinely care.
We know our dogs, we know our clients, and we care about the results long after your dog goes home.
Good training matters, but so does how your dog is treated while they are here.
We have more than two decades of hands-on experience working with dogs of different breeds, ages, temperaments, personalities, and behavior needs.
We follow LIMA (least intrusive minimally aversive) first and foremost! We use a balanced approach built on clear communication, structure, rewards, fair corrections and the individual dog in front of us.
Board and Train dogs live inside a trainer's home instead of a traditional kennel. For facility dogs, we have couches and simulate home environments to ensure they are getting that in-home type training.
Our Dacula, GA location provides many opportunities to experience different surfaces, sounds, farm animals, and everyday distractions in a controlled setting.
We proudly offer discounts to military, veterans and first responders as our way of saying thank you.

Our relationship does not end when your dog's training program is finished. Select Board and Train graduates receive free lifetime refresher lessons. That means you have support as you continue working with your dog.
AMAZING!!!! The job that Liz @ Full Focus did for my 2.5 yo pittie was top notch. During the three week board and train he grew up, becoming the disciplined boy we wanted/needed. I cannot say enough about the training, communication and attention to detail. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
100/100 Liz is 100% the BEST! She had our 5 mouth old toy poodle Simba for 2 weeks for board and training, and she kept us updated with his progress with video sand pictures. He came home a new boy. Very well trained, and we can't think Liz enough.
He is 100%potty trained, he understands boundaries, and he is very well disciplined. If you are looking for somewhere that will love, care, and change your furbabies life for the better. This is the place!
I had an amazing experience with FulFocus and Samantha. My dog is a 7 year old beagle with lots of energy. I wasn’t sure he could be trained to walk on a leash without pulling at his age. But they worked miracles. I can now walk him without fear of getting injured.
He would especially go crazy if he saw another dog on a walk and now he knows to not try to get to that dog. I am truly amazed and want to thank them so much for their help.
Highly recommend!
FullFocusK9 did an amazing job with our 6 yo Wheaton Terrier. We were worried that he was too old to shake some bad habits but that was not the case. He walked back in after 3 weeks with Liz like a new dog. Much more confident, less anxious and very responsive to his new commands.
Living with a dog you’re constantly managing isn’t fun. And we know that. Pulling on the leash, losing their mind around other dogs, ignoring you, jumping on guests, destructive behavior, reactivity – sometimes you don’t realize just how much your dog’s behavior is affecting your everyday life until it becomes your normal.
It doesn’t have to stay way.
Whether your’re dealing with basic manners or more serious behavioral issues, we can help you build a dog that’s easier to live with, easier to take places, and that you can enjoy.
See what life with better training could look like.
We'll talk about your dog, your concerns, and what you want to improve.
We'll learn more about your dog's temperament, behavior, and triggers through a consultation or meet and greet.
Your dog goes through structured training, whether in-home, board and train, or a hybrid of both.
We train you as much as we train your dog, with hands-on coaching so the results last after the program ends.
FullFocusK9 offers a boutique, home-based dog training alternative for dog owners who want real relationship-building, not just obedience drills. From Dacula to the heart of Atlanta, we give you the tools and the trained dog you need for a better life together.
Join our local families who've traded training frustration for long-term reliability.
