2-week board and train program for dogs who need better manners and listening skills
Our Mind Your Manners program is a great fit for dogs who need help with everyday behavior at home. This can include loose leash walking, better recall, improved listening, place work, and more reliable manners around the house.
This program takes place at our scenic Dacula farm, where dogs are exposed to real-world distractions you would not find in a typical training setting. With animals, changing environments, and hands-on daily work, dogs build confidence, improve socialization, and learn better behavior in a practical setting. During the program, we focus on the specific manners that matter most to you and your dog, choosing two core behaviors or commands to build and strengthen.

2- to 4-week foundational training program for puppies and young dogs
Getting a new puppy is exciting, but it can also be overwhelming. Our Puppy Board and Train program is designed to help set the right foundation early through structure, daily training, confidence building, socialization, and clear communication.
This program introduces important commands and marker words such as come, let’s go, sit, down, place, off, good, no, and break. We also work on crate training, potty training, leash manners, impulse control, engagement, socialization, and correcting nuisance behaviors like jumping, barking, biting, and stealing food. The goal is to help your puppy or young dog grow into a well-mannered, confident companion.

3- to 4-week on-leash and off-leash dog board and train Atlanta program
This is our most popular program for owners who want a more well-rounded, reliable dog. It is a strong fit for dogs who need better obedience, improved leash manners, stronger recall, more focus, more engagement, and better behavior both at home and in public.
Dogs in this program learn commands such as come, let’s go, sit/stay, down/stay, place, heel, and off, while also working on calm behavior, house manners, confidence, exposure, and on- and off-leash reliability. We also address common issues like leash pulling, jumping, mouthing, barking, chewing, and mild reactivity, depending on the dog. For dogs who need extra time, there is also a 4-week option.

What your dog will learn:
4- to 8-week program for aggression, severe reactivity, fear, and anxiety
Our Behavior Modification Board and Train program is designed for dogs dealing with more serious behavioral issues. This includes dog aggression, severe reactivity, fear, anxiety, resource guarding, redirected aggression, possession aggression, and similar concerns.
This program is not about quick fixes or covering behavior up. It is built around understanding what is driving the behavior and helping the dog work through it in a safer, clearer, and more productive way. We focus on rehabilitation, confidence building, obedience where appropriate, structure, accountability, and safer responses around triggers. Because every dog is different, this program is goal-oriented rather than strictly time-based.
We are also transparent about the reality of behavior work. Serious issues take time, consistency, and follow-through, and outcomes depend on the dog, the severity of the issue, and long-term owner involvement.
