Start by booking a free phone evaluation online at righttreek9.com/book-online. Evaluations run by appointment Tuesday to Thursday 10am-7pm, Friday 10am-4pm and Saturday 10am-2pm. You will speak with Justin at the scheduled time that you book.

Board & Train is $2,800 for the 14-day program. Payment plans are available, and we will match or beat a quote for a similar program elsewhere. Private and puppy program pricing is set during your free evaluation.

We proudly serve the greater Metro Atlanta area, including Buckhead, Vinings, Midtown, Sandy Springs, Brookhaven, Dunwoody, Decatur, Druid Hills, Alpharetta, Johns Creek, Smyrna, Marietta, and nearby neighborhoods. Board and train programs include pickup and drop off. Our private and in-home training sessions come directly to you, wherever you are in the Atlanta metro. Not in our in-home service area? No problem! We also offer virtual and remote training sessions for clients across Georgia and the US.

Board & Train is the fastest path. Your dog trains with Justin all day, every day for 14 days, in a calm home setting, not a kennel. It fits busy households, families with a trip coming up, or anyone who is not sure they can be consistent at home. Private lessons suit owners who have the time to practice daily through the early stages.

A structured schedule: morning potty runs, a 30-minute structured walk, and roughly 3-4 hours of training spread through the day. That covers obedience, duration work, socialization, play and the specific behaviors you want fixed. As your dog progresses, sessions move to busy places around Atlanta like parks, patios, pet-friendly stores and the Beltline.

Most dogs finish in the 14-day program. If Justin decides your dog needs a third week, he extends the stay at no extra cost.

Puppies can begin training as early as 10 weeks old. Starting early is key — the habits and boundaries you establish in those first few months lay the foundation for a lifetime of good behavior. Our Puppy Training Program is tailored for Atlanta pups under 5 months old, focusing on essentials like house training, crate routines, nipping, and building a calm, confident foundation. For puppies 10 weeks and older, our private in-home sessions are also a fantastic option. Don’t wait — the sooner we start, the smoother the journey!

Yes — Right Tree Dog Training offers virtual and remote dog training sessions for clients who aren't located within our in-home service area or who simply prefer the convenience of an online session. Topics include housebreaking, introducing a new dog to your home, early-stage puppy challenges, choosing a reputable breeder or rescue, and more. If you decide to move forward with a full training program after your virtual session, the consult fee is applied toward your total balance. Virtual dog training sessions are available for Atlanta-area clients and dog owners across the US.

It depends on the dog, the program, and — most importantly — how consistent the owner is at home. That said, most clients in our Atlanta dog training programs start seeing meaningful changes within the first few sessions. Dogs in our 14-day board and train program typically come home with a strong foundation of core commands and noticeably improved behavior from day one of pickup. Private in-home clients often see progress after the first lesson, with reliable results building over the full program. The honest answer is that training is a process, not an event — but with the right approach and consistent follow-through, lasting results are absolutely achievable. That's why every Right Tree Atlanta Dog Training graduate comes with free lifetime support. We're not done until you feel confident.

The journey doesn’t end on pickup day — and we make sure you’re fully prepared. At the conclusion of every board & train program, we’ll walk you through everything your dog has learned, demonstrate commands, and ensure you feel confident taking the leash. We’ll guide you on maintaining the training at home, building on your dog’s progress, and handling any challenges that arise. Plus, every graduate enjoys lifetime support — no question is too small, and no timeline is too long. Whether it’s a week or two years later, we’re always here for you.

Often, yes. Justin has trained 1,000+ dogs over 17 years in metro Atlanta. Every program includes follow-up support during and after training, so you are never on your own once the lessons end.

No one can honestly guarantee 100%, because results at home depend on owner follow-through. What we do promise is lifetime support: a week, a month or years after training, just reach out.

LIMA means Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive. Justin is a balanced trainer who relies heavily on LIMA: clear, practical methods that are easy for dogs to understand and easy for owners to keep up.
