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.

The greatest gift a dog lover/owner could ever receive, a closer connection to our beloved pooch. Professional dog training by Master Trainer Sarah York @ducktowndogtraining via @ducktown_lodge I am stubborn, I am doubtful, I am frugal. I was doubtful about the potential results, I was concerned about the cost, I was convinced I could train my own dog. I was plainly wrong, on every level. I do what I do for a living, and I am damn good at it. Very few, if any, could do what I do, as well as I do it. The very same goes for Sarah. She is a shining star standing out from a large group of average trainers. 💯word of mouth…her name popped up by several of our friends..she is the very best they said. In two short weeks…completely transformed our Cooper into a well listening, obedient dog. We went from being pulled around the neighborhood to taking a pleasant off leash stroll together, and responding to all commands. Absolutely mind blown…we thank you Sarah…we thank you Lucinda..for what you have given us. I will tell every dog owner I know about you, and think of you both each day. Doing it all over again, we would select you without a single concern🫶

Lucinda and her daughter were amazing with our GSP mix! He weighs over 100lbs and has a ton of energy. We got daily pictures and videos of Tucker during his stay. The facility is so clean, nice and new. I didn't have to worry at all about Tucker while we were on our trip. I highly recommend Ducktown Lodge!

Lucinda and the Ducktown Lodge team watched my 1.5 year old labradoodle, Granger, for 9 days over Christmas. They sent photos and updates every day and made me feel at ease being away from my pup for so long. Granger looked like she had an absolute blast at the facility. I will definitely let her stay with Ducktown again on my next trip!

This review is late, however, wanted to share what we thought about our furbabies stay at Ducktown Lodge. First of all the place was immaculate. it was clear that the owners cared about thier dog guests. Ours got plenty of one on one time.The facility was secure, we felt very comfortable leaving our furbabies with them. They were well cared for. Definitely will be back...
