Professional Dog Training with a Family Touch
Building better behavior, confidence, and connection — one dog at a time.
At Five Star Dog Resort, we believe great training builds stronger bonds. Our certified trainer uses gentle, proven methods to help every dog — from energetic puppies to seasoned companions — learn with confidence and trust. Families looking for dog training in Alpharetta and nearby areas turn to us for lasting results and a calm, enjoyable learning experience.
Five Star Dog School
Struggling with your dog’s behavior or leash manners? Or maybe you’d love to see your dog confidently walking off-leash? Whatever your goals, our programs turn training into a lifelong investment in your dog’s happiness.
With more than 37 years of experience, our certified trainer understands that every dog learns differently. We focus on training both dogs and owners — teaching communication, patience, and structure. It’s what makes us a trusted name for dog training in Alpharetta and surrounding areas, including Milton, Roswell, and Woodstock.
Our Training Philosophy
For more than 18 years, Five Star Dog Resort has approached dog training differently. Rather than focusing on quick fixes or temporary obedience, our programs are built around communication, consistency, and trust. Every dog learns at a different pace, which is why training should be adapted to the individual dog rather than forcing every dog into the same system.
Our certified trainer works with puppies, adolescent dogs, and adult dogs of all breeds and temperaments. Whether a dog is learning basic manners, building confidence around distractions, improving leash skills, or working through behavioral challenges, the goal remains the same: to create lasting habits that carry over into everyday life.
Training is not simply about teaching commands. It is about helping dogs understand expectations, develop emotional stability, and make better choices across different environments. By combining structure, repetition, and positive learning experiences, dogs become more reliable, confident, and responsive both at home and in public settings.
Many families seeking dog training in Alpharetta are surprised to learn that long-term success depends just as much on consistency at home as it does on the training sessions themselves. That is why owner education remains an important part of every program we offer.
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.
