About Ducktown Lodge & Dog Training

Ducktown Lodge offers professional dog training and boutique dog boarding in Cumming, Georgia, on a quiet 3-acre farm just north of Atlanta. Our low-volume lodge features only 12 private suites, creating a calm, low-stress environment where dogs can relax, learn, and feel safe. We specialize in relationship-based dog training, including basic obedience and off-leash skills, integrated into daily care rather than high-pressure programs. Dogs enjoy multiple outdoor sessions each day, personal attention, and consistent care from the same trusted hands. If you’re looking for dog training or boutique-style dog boarding where your dog is truly known and cared for, Ducktown Lodge offers a more thoughtful alternative to high-volume facilities.

It feels like they gave me back a different dog. We went from a chaotic, nipping, accidents-in-the-house type dog to a dog who will sit in one place calmly while I'm able to give the kids a bath.

It feels like they gave me back a different dog. We went from a chaotic, nipping, accidents-in-the-house type dog to a dog who will sit in one place calmly while I'm able to give the kids a bath. Since he's come back, he hasn't had one potty accident. Prior to his training, he was addicted to eating my kids socks, and the vet reminded me that the cost of a training program would be less than the cost of removing a blockage, so after reviewing several programs, I chose Ducktown because Lucinda and Sara seemed like they really prioritized the dog's well-being and happiness, while also training them to be well-behaved members of the home. Since returning, he will see a sock, give it a sniff, and then walk away. They sent a lot of pictures/videos showing progress and were very communicative. They even kept our dog a couple of extra days to make sure that they got things right with him (he's a stubborn guy). And what I LOVE is that the kennel is right next door to their home, so someone is always nearby if your pup had an emergency after hours. Very happy with our choice!

I always struggle boarding my babies because i never feel anyone will take care of them just as good as i would- and then i found ducktown. I am now able to travel with so much ease- they keep me so updated i didn’t have to call once- the pups came home so happy and i couldn’t ask for more. I am so happy we have joined the ducktown family!

Ducktown Lodge took such good care of our Standard Poodle. We received regular updates and could see for ourselves that he was doing well. This is a family-run business and they are all so kind and caring. I highly recommend them for boarding your pup!

We boarded our dog Winnie at Ducktown for a week and had an amazing experience! They took incredible care of her, sent daily video updates, and gave her medications promptly. She got plenty of outdoor time and fresh air. We highly recommend them if you're looking for a place to board your dog!

Lucinda and Sara are the best! From the first time you meet them, you know they’ll treat your pet like family. We brought our 8-month old golden retriever in for their two week board and train program and could not be happier with the results. Since coming home she has been much more obedient, we’ve continued her training and she is getting better every day. As an added bonus, they sent us videos and/or photos every single day from her boarding. We look forward to working with Sara and Lucinda in the future to grow Ellie’s skills even more.
