DOG TRAINING
We offer three (3) types of dog training packages…


In-Board On Leash Training
Our 2- or 3-week in-board program starts at $975 per week (minimum of two weeks). This personalized course covers heel, stop, sit, stay, come, down, and waiting at the door. It’s ideal for families looking for structured dog training in Alpharetta that delivers consistent, lasting results.


In-Board Off Leash Training
For graduates of our on-leash course, this next-level option focuses on confidence, reliability, and freedom. Dogs learn to follow commands without a leash while maintaining calm and focus. Pricing starts at $995 per week, with a two-week minimum.
Private Training Class – One Hour On Site
Our certified trainer offers focused one-on-one sessions tailored to your dog’s unique needs. Whether you’re starting puppy training in Alpharetta or fine-tuning obedience for an older dog, each session provides personalized attention and real results. Classes are priced at $150 and designed to help both you and your dog gain confidence together.
Behavior Assessment / Evaluations
Before any program begins, every dog receives a detailed behavior evaluation to determine the best training approach. This step helps our trainer understand your pet’s temperament, strengths, and goals — whether it’s dog behavior training in Roswell or socialization support for young puppies. The $75 fee can be applied toward your chosen training program.

What Our Clients Families Say

Colleen SummersTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My girls were so excited to go to their favorite “weekend retreat! “ Paul VogtTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’ve been using them for years for kennel services. They have always been fantastic. Recently we’ve leveraged their dog training services as we got a puppy that was a bit more out of control than we were prepared to handle. Not only have they greatly assisted in his training, but they’ve built up his confidence (he was pretty skidding) without breaking her sweet personality. I strongly recommend Darren and his staff. They are the only place I would trust my fur family members. Beth TennebarTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The team at Five Star take great care of my dogs - highly recommend L STrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’ve been boarding our dogs here for several years, and have always had a great experience with them. Kim LittleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Best doggy day stay and training ever!!!! Deborah UrsoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’ve been bringing our two dogs, Rusty and Cyrus, to Five Star Dog Resort in Alpharetta, GA for the last five years, and it truly feels like their home away from home. The care, attention, and love the staff gives is unmatched. From the moment we drop them off, we know they’re in the best hands. The facility is always spotless, secure, and welcoming. The team goes above and beyond to make sure both dogs are comfortable, happy, and well-exercised. We get regular updates and pictures, which gives us such peace of mind while we’re away. Rusty can be a little shy, while Cyrus is full of energy, and they both come home calm, clean, and content — a true testament to how well they’re treated. We’re so grateful to have a place we can trust completely. Thank you for taking such great care of our boys for all these years! Renee LeoninoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have 5 stars to the Five Star Pet Resort because they are friendly, the lace is super clean and my dog actually loved staying there. He is 5 years old and this is the first time he really likes the place. He simply tolerated the other places. This makes me so happy. I would definitely recommend this for boarding especially if your dog is like mine just a little picky. He likes the highest quality of surroundings and people. He is only a 12lb Cavapoo but he has great judgement when it comes to people and places. Thank you to everyone at Five Star for taking care of my little guy. He will definitely be back.
