Why Atlanta Families Choose Five Star Dog Resort
Atlanta is a city that moves fast. Between long commutes, demanding work schedules, and frequent travel, dog owners across the metro area need a boarding option they can trust completely, not just one that is convenient. That is the gap Five Star Dog Resort has been filling for families from Atlanta and the surrounding area since 2008.
Our facility sits at 12870 Arnold Mill Road in Alpharetta, roughly 30 to 40 minutes north of the city, depending on where you are coming from.
What Atlanta dog owners find when they arrive is something genuinely different from the commercial boarding facilities closer to the city. Our resort is boutique and intentionally small-scale. Every dog stays in a private suite with solid walls, raised beds, and a calm atmosphere that holds even at full capacity. There are no large group play yards where dogs are left unsupervised, no revolving door of unfamiliar staff, and no one-size-fits-all approach to daily care.
Our dog boarding facilities focus on something fundamental: understanding each dog’s individual temperament, maintaining a structured daily routine, and making sure every guest is genuinely comfortable throughout their stay. That consistency is why so many Atlanta families come back repeatedly and refer their neighbors.

For Atlanta dog owners dealing with dog behavior problems, our training programs offer real, lasting solutions. Puppy training is one of our most requested services from city-based families, particularly those who have recently brought home a new dog and want to build the right habits before problems develop.
All training is led personally by Daren Hamlin, who brings more than 30 years of experience working with dogs across every temperament and background. Our programs cover dog training at every stage, from foundational obedience and puppy behavior assessments for younger dogs to rehabilitation and confidence work for adults who have struggled in previous environments.
Since Daren works one-on-one with every dog, the approach is never generic. It is built around what that specific dog needs.
