She is extremely high energy and struggled with leash/dog reactivity, making walks stressful and kept us from taking her basically anywhere public. We did the 2 Week Board and Train program. After training, walks are calm, controlled and actually enjoyable now. We can take her to Downtown Woodstock and other public spots without anxiety -- it's been a TOTAL game changer for our family. Everyone at OTCK9 is professional, communicative and made sure we understood how to maintain everything at home. We love that they offer group classes for life on Saturdays to continue reinforcing the training! We also take crazy Luna to Doggy Daycare and she loves it! Cannot say enough good things about the staff and OTCK9 - Highly recommend!!!

More recently, they've gone above and beyond to support me through a very complex and emotional situation with my dogs. They've made house visits, spent countless hours on the phone with me, and even accompanied me to the vet to help discuss medication options. Who does that? OTCK9 does. They are so much more than a training facility--you and your dogs become family. They are always there when you need them, and I truly mean always. Their passion for what they do shines through in the level of care and dedication they show. I cannot recommend them enough. They will love and care for your dog just as much as you do.

The advice she gave was so helpful and honestly made a big difference leading up to my training session. The way everything was explained in such detail made me feel confident in my decision and like I didn't need to shop around at all, I knew I had found the right trainer. My first training session went really well. I feel like I learned a lot, and so did Burli. The session was informative, hands on, and encouraging, and it left me feeling excited and motivated to continue. I'm really looking forward to coming back and continuing this journey with them.

We took our puppy to Atlanta Dog Trainer for the group obedience beginner training classes…read more There were 5 weeks of training classes (4 with the dog, the first with just the handlers). The primary instruction was getting your dog's attention, the commands - sit, down, off, leave it, drop it and loose leash walking. Overall I was pleased with the overall instruction and experience. They did a good job of making sure the dogs didn't invade another dog's space. Homework was sent out each week to work on in sessions with the dog and this helped prepare for the next week's session. Would recommend.

I was at my wits end and ready to give away…read moreour dog- I had tried other training programs but he would not stop biting our kids, jumping on everyone, it was just awful. We signed up for the two week board and train as a last effort with minimal expectation. All I can say is WOW!!! Tracy has been exceptional from start to finish and the follow up after he was home was icing on the cake! She followed up daily to give us a report with photos and videos and continued to check in for weeks! We have the sweetest dog and our family could not be happier with our decision to put our pup into doggie school here!! The grounds are sprawling and beautiful, the staff is friendly, and the value far exceeded my expectations. We paid $995 per week, so about 2K total. I looked at some other programs which were about 2,800 with kinda crappy looking properties and very pushy sales people. We are forever grateful to ADT and Tracy! Thank you for our "new" dog!

Life-Changing for Me and My Dogs…read more If you're even thinking about working with a dog trainer, stop scrolling and call Jackie at Channeled Canine Coaching. I honestly can't say enough about how profoundly she's impacted the lives of my two dogs--and mine. I've worked with other trainers before, but Jackie is in a category of her own. Yes, her training techniques are top-notch--force-free, science-backed, and incredibly effective. She helped with things like leash reactivity, jumping, and counter surfing, but what sets her apart is how she truly sees your dog. Not just the behavior, but the why behind it. She brings an intuitive understanding of each dog's personality that goes so far beyond a training manual. It's like she tunes into them on a level most people can't. What may sound "intuitive" or "channeled" might raise an eyebrow for some, but let me tell you-- it works. Jackie has a gift. She picked up on things my dogs were struggling with emotionally that I hadn't even noticed, and once addressed, their confidence (and mine) transformed. We're more connected now than we've ever been. She's trained thousands of dogs, but somehow makes you feel like yours is the most important one she's ever met. Whether in my home, out at a public space, or over a virtual session, her presence is calming, focused, and full of insight. It's not just training--it's healing, for both the dog and the human. Jackie is the real deal. She's smart, warm, experienced, and deeply attuned. If you want someone who blends cutting-edge expertise with an uncanny ability to understand your dog on every level, Jackie is your person. Thank you, Jackie, for helping me raise two grounded, happy, soulful pups. You've changed our lives.

In the weeks before our older dog had to be euthanized, they were particularly super. Our new dog is high-energy, and she loves to go spend time with all her friends. Regular nail trimming is great for us, particularly her front paws. They offer bathing and grooming, but we don't particularly care for the perfumed scent of their standard shampoo, and our dog doesn't shed much. They're also very good about hygiene and cleanliness, requiring documented 6-month Bordetella ("Kennel cough") vaccinations. We've never had issues with the front desk staff and management, but we pay promptly and follow the rules, these days haters will be haters.

We were on vacation, and we received two photos of our Brandy playing with large and small dogs. They introduced her to others slowly to make sure all was alright. Our Pal's Place is by far #1 in our book for this area. Privately run and not a large corporate boarding facility. I cannot say enough. Thank you, Gigi and your staff.

The poor guy kept going up to every car in the parking lot hoping he would bump into someone he knew. At one point he actually ran toward the main intersection and we actually had to run out to grab him. After a quick search on Google we found Our Pal's and decided to bring the lost dog here to see if we can find his owner. We talked to Gigi the owner who was so nice and helpful. She gave us the name of a vet down the street (Shallowford Animal Hospital) who could check to see if he is chipped. We could tell Gia cared about our lost dog and even gave us a really strong leash to use... Thanks to Our Pal's we were able to find the lost dog's owner. Thanks Gia and the staff here....you guys are an animal's best friend.
