Exceeded Expectations, Knowledgable, Effective, Notable Difference are just a few of my…read moreobservations. I can't say enough of the exceptional training my German Shepherd pup has received. Michael is a vastly experienced dog trainer, what is exceptional he immediately accessed our pup and accurately pinpointed the behavioral problem, and devised a game plan. The reason behind this, Michael is also a breeder who specializes in large breed dogs and is quite knowledgeable with AKC and bloodlines. His approach to training is unconventional in the sense yes focuses on the basic commands but goes beyond he wants to address concerns inside and outside the house issues. Besides all this, he truly loves what he does and is always conscious of our pup's needs including what collar and leash are effective and safe. What's miraculous is with only a handful of lessons Michael created stations (areas) where our "Bogart" stays even though there may be many distractions in our home. Moreover, he'll provide you with effective tips. So, if you are looking for an effective trainer who is passionate, knowledgeable, and results are a few lessons away - then Michael is the man for the job!

EVERYONE at Haven The Dog Spot has been absolutely INCREDIBLE! I simply cannot say enough good…read morethings about this place and the way it is run. They are sticklers with their rules and regulations, but that's exactly what makes this place so pristine... their meticulous attention to this facility's sanitation really stands out. My fur babies are family members to me, so their safety and health is of utmost importance. I also especially love that they separate large dogs and small dogs... this is very important to me because my little ones are very intimidated by the larger dogs. Lastly, the ability for me to sign in to a website thad shows 24 hour surveillance of the dog play areas inside and out just adds another layer of security and peace of mind for me so that even when I'm away traveling, I can always peek in on my fur babies to see how they are doing... I LOVE THAT!

I'd give a one but here we are. Just picked up my dog from daycare and I noticed he had something…read morehard on his fur which ended up being dried blood from a small gash on his ear. I panicked and called them and they responded with "well he bulldozes through doors so maybe his ear got snagged." Cool so y'all have barbed wire doorways? Nah. I've had issues with this East Cobb location for years tbh, whether it was the front desk lying to my face about connecting to my vet, or taking him to their groomer next door, asking for a full groom including deshedding, only to be charged 140 dollars for what seemed like a quick bath and spritz of cologne and zero deshedding treatment. I'm over it. I'll never take my dog here again.

Our dog Moose did the 14 day Board & Train with Sam and we are so happy with the results. We wanted…read morethe focus of her training to be on e-collar obedience and Sam did an excellent job helping her and us learn. We can now take Moose off leash comfortably knowing she will come when called, sit and stay even in busy environments. I feel like we are happier humans and she is a happier dog thanks to Sam's help. The training style used was also based on rewarding Moose with play rather than food or negative reinforcement, which I really appreciate and didn't know much about before. We couldn't be more pleased with the results. Highly recommend Dog Wizard and Sam!

Probably my highest review ever for a service I haven't used yet. hear me out…read more I just rescued a Rat Terrier puppy called Raffi from Texas, who showed signs of abuse and trauma upon arrival. I've parented/known many rescues in the past and never seen anything like the fear she exhibited. fully freaked out, I shot a message to Atlanta Dog Wizard with an SOS to help. Kat quickly got in touch and we had about a 30-min call, which provided me with INVALUABLE insight into my urgent situation. That information she gave me--keep in mind, I had paid no money for her advice or training to this point--gave me some practices I could use, right away, to make Raffi feel more comfortable. I still might officially use Atlanta Dog Wizard in the future, if Kat is any indication how the company does things. She has a passion for rescues and turning around challenging situations and making dogs (and humans) shine. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Because of her, our family dogs are able to go for (pleasant) walks on leash, follow a number of commands, and greet us at the door without jumping or going crazy.

Caitlin also gave me great advice about choosing the right breed and dog for our situation during a few phone consultations. She's an incredible resource and a lovely person to work with.

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.

Tracy at ATLANTA DOG TRAINER literally saved our dog!!! 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!

From the owner: Amanda Barker is a dog trainer that specializes in obedience training and behavioral modification…read more She grew up in the Carolinas surrounded by dogs and horses and developed a passion for their care and wellbeing at a very young age. She went on to volunteer for many different shelters and rescues, and still is very active in her community fostering and training. She has a deep desire to be able to reach out to people really struggling with their dogs and help reduce owners surrendering their companions, as in the vast majority of cases she can easily help adjust those unwanted behaviors for a more happy, peaceful home and life. She is a certified trainer, but doesn’t think that’s what actually makes a “Trainer” good. She took on a couple apprenticeships and worked with many highly skilled trainers in and around Atlanta. She has developed her own unique training style that is considered balanced and gets results quickly. She’s a straight shooter and won’t waste your time and money. She focuses on each dog as an individual, and understands each dog learns differently. Her focus is empowering owners with education and skills to be the pack leader. She is also highly skilled in dog behavior and reading their body language. Just ask her how- she’s happy to speak with anyone who really wants and needs to make a change for the benefit of their dogs!
