FirstBarkWe love Ducktown Lodge! The boarding facility is spacious and beautiful. Zelda loves the individual attention and play time she gets while boarding there. The video updates of her chasing after her ball are adorable. Lucinda and the rest of the team are wonderful and caring, which gives me peace of mind while I’m away. We have two more bookings on the schedule. Thank you Lucinda and Sara.

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.

Sending your pup somewhere for 2 weeks for a board and train is a BIG decision. After a lot of research we chose Ducktown for the boarding and training. Turns out we made a great decision. Lucinda sent us daily videos of our baby which made us feel better. Our dog requires a very specific diet and Lucinda had no problem taking the xtra time to accommodate. I cant say enough about Sara and her training. She also sent us a lot of videos of the progress. When we picked up our pup we couldn't believe our eyes at how well she was trained in such a short period. Sara spent two hours with us to make sure we were comfortable with the commands and instructions to continue the growth of our puppy. We are very pleased with the board and train and will definitely be back for group training sessions. I highly recommend Ducktown to anyone who wants their dog to be well taken care of with trusted people! Thank you for everything Lucinda and Sara!

Ducktown Lodge LLC is the best and is our favorite boarding facility in Forsyth County! The facility is beautiful, with an open play area that is clean and well maintained, making it a very comfortable place for your pet(s) to stay while you are away! Lucinda and Sara took such great care of our sweet girl Molly. They were great with keeping us informed daily of Molly’s wellbeing, sharing photos and videos which helped bring us peace of mind. Sara worked closely with Molly (who is still a young puppy) teaching her a few basic commands that have also helped us utilize in the structure of her daily life. Thank you for taking such great care of our Molly! We are looking forward to future stays with Ducktown Lodge because we know she will be loved and taken care of without any reason to worry!

I have used Ducktown Lodge multiple times for my two dogs. Some stays for one night, recently a stay for week. Lucinda and her team are accommodating to any of my requests and have been great about drop-off and pick-up times. They send pictures and videos of the dogs during their stay, and they spend time outside actually playing with the dogs. Our Sophie is a Mini Aussie, a high-energy 1-year old, that is obsessed with frisbee and Ducktown takes the time to play fetch with her and our other dog, Bella. While it’s never fun to leave the pups behind, I know they are cared for at Ducktown.
My 3 dogs absolutely loved their vacation at Ducktown Lodge! I got daily updates with photos and videos. I can’t thank them enough for making them and me feel comfortable while I get to enjoy my family vacation. Highly recommend!!
