What Reviews Say

535 reviews analyzed

Atlanta Dog Trainer is an exceptional facility with an overwhelmingly positive reputation, earning nearly all 5-star reviews. The training programs, particularly the board-and-train with Rachel, Jorge, and Shelby, receive consistent praise for producing remarkable transformations in dogs with behavioral issues. Customers highly value the daily video updates, the outdoor farm facility, and the genuine love staff shows for each dog. A few isolated complaints exist around communication, training expectations, and one former employee allegation, but the vast majority of 535 reviews describe life-changing experiences with dogs returning calmer, better behaved, and genuinely excited to return. The owner responds professionally to nearly every review, including critical ones, demonstrating excellent customer service.

Worth noting

Kennel cough/illness transmission with inadequate communication

β€œOur dog was definitely symptomatic at some point in their care and was even showing signs when we picked him up...The staff who are obviously knowledgeable in this knew he had this and never felt the need to tell us”

Perceived dominance-based training methods

β€œBut, the one thing that was congruent is that we should 'dominate' our puppies. This type of training just felt wrong in my gut”

Puppy injured in class - trampled by larger dog

β€œOur trainer allowed her to be trampled by a larger dog in the group...my puppy got pummeled and was left timid during playtime for the remaining classes”

Class held in unsafe cold weather conditions

β€œOur second class took place outside in the shade at a 19Β° wind chill. My little puppy was shivering, and we had to leave halfway through”

Former employee allegations about animal treatment

β€œI am a previous employee and quit because of how rude ALL of management is...the way they treat your dogs when your not around would surprise you”

Communication gaps(5 mentions)

β€œCommunication is definitely poor. Tried calling back, reaching back out, but no answer.”

Training expectations not met(3 mentions)

β€œWe sent our dog to this place for two weeks...No, she is exactly the same. We believe that the trainer didn't have enough experience to train Lola.”

Value/cost concerns(3 mentions)

β€œI don't feel like we learned even half of what they advertised to be taught in the class.”
