FirstBarkWe are so happy to have found such an amazing kennel and also a great dog trainer. We reached out needing help with our new mini bernadoodle puppy and Lucinda and Sara were so helpful! If you are looking for a safe and loving place to help with your dog we highly recommend them😊

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.

DuckTown Lodge was the BEST place I could’ve have boarded my dog. I have a 9 month old yellow lab who is full of energy. Updates were sent everyday and everyday she was wagging her tail and playing!

DuckTown Lodge was the BEST place I could’ve have boarded my dog. I have a 9 month old yellow lab who is full of energy. Updates were sent everyday and everyday she was wagging her tail and playing! I know that she was well taken care of! My husband and I joked saying we didn’t know if she’d want to come home! I’m so thankful for a place to leave her that is close to our own home environment. Highly recommend!
We love Ducktown Lodge! They always take great care of our dog when we’re away, and the photo/video updates are the best. Our pup Gemma recently did the two-week board and train with Sara, and it was a great experience. Sara kept us in the loop and truly cared for Gemma. Now Gemma heels, sits, and goes to her place when asked. Life at home is so much easier. Highly recommend!

Ducktown Lodge is our favorite boarding spot around! Exceptional experience. We love how intimate the space is with only 12 kennels and all the dogs get so much individual play time outside. The kennel is located on family owned property and we know our two Golden retrievers get so much love and attention here! Our youngest Golden, Billie, did board and train with Sara and she is so much easier to handle with all her puppy energy — 10/10!!!!

100 % recommend the Ducktown family. We are new to the Ducktown family. We have a one year old Great Dane that was out of control. We had to keep her up when the grandchildren came to visit. To say Ducktown has done a great job isn't praise enough. She now can control herself around the grands and has quit barking at deer. To say she is trained now should say "we are trained". She has become a bestie with the grands. Now listens to our commands. Everyone in this house is overjoyed with our pups new found discipline. We look at each other and say who is this wonderful pup? Thank you again and we are looking forward to her group class enforcements.
