"Darrell and Kim and their excellent staff of trainers and handlers offer compassionate, effective training, boarding and care. From our first contact with Kelsi at the front desk, our daily video updates on social media, and text messages returned promptly - the communication with everyone has been exemplary. Our Schroder, an almost 2 yr old rescue Staffy/Pitty/Lab All-American Dog mix just went through the Well Mannered Dog 2 week board & train. His transformation has been wonderful. He is calm, attentive, responsive and appreciative of the reset in our relationship. Nic Wiggins handled the return training beautifully and provided us with the tools to continue on our road to succeed. The six included group sessions on Saturdays will further help us develop our skills, timing and confidence. My wife and I could not be happier. We are already planning to enroll him in the Man's Best Friend and Peace Of Mind Programs."

"What a FANTASTIC place to have your pup trained! When we got our 2nd pup, she was too much to handle. She would bite, pull on walks and be aggressive to our 1st dog! After her training from OTC, she became a more disciplined and eager to please pup! We thank our lucky stars to have been recommended to OTC!"

"If I could give 10 stars I would. This is an incredible place for your dogs to go. They offer outstanding daycare, boarding, training - anything you need. Their staff is very attentive to medical needs as well! Your dog will be well cared for and have so much fun. My dog looks forward to going, she knows when I say OTC she spins in circles with excitement."

"We enrolled our dog, Sherman, in the 4-week puppy development program and can’t say enough great things about how much this has helped him. Since he is an American bully, we knew he was going to be over 120lbs and having a solid training foundation as a puppy was critical. They truly care about you and your dog’s needs/goals and work hard to achieve them. They post lots of pictures/videos so you can watch their progress and follow along on the training journey. Once the program is complete, they send you home with the lesson plans and additional training tools to make sure your dog is successful at home. Other training companies in Metro Atlanta seemed intimidated or lacked experience with large dog breeds and OTC welcomed Sherman with open arms. They have experience with both large and small dog breeds and definitely sets them apart from other companies. Highly recommended sending your pups to day school/day care. It’s a great way to socialize your dog and tire them out. Sherman is always so excited to go to day school and sleeps like a baby when he gets home. Shout out to Kiley, Kelsi, Rosie, Carlos and all the staff behind the scenes. We appreciate you so much!!!!"

"High praises to OTC and full trust and belief in that they can train your pup! They trained several of our neighbors dogs too! We have a very smart, strong and now very large ridgeback - a breed that can be very stubborn and needs a specialized approach with training, and afterwards needs “jobs”, and walks to feel fulfilled. Not only did OTC make sure we knew these things and were prepared for the breed we took on, but since her week long board and train training with OTC months ago, she has remained loose leash trained - ignoring her hunting instincts, and desire to play with all other dogs that walk by when we hike. She sits and lays and stays like a champ. We are so proud of her; especially when we see other dogs whose owners say they were trained at petco/pet smart/in someone’s private home even and you would never know it. We even just heard of a family members dog running away from her trainers for 3 days. I felt so at peace knowing that 100% would not happen with OTC trainers and Nick who took amazing care of our ruby and remained in total control and protection of her during her stay. I feel confident we can take her anywhere and she’ll behave. We get compliments every day on how good she is on leash - calm and obedient. If you have tried everything and “nothing works”, have a few things that need fixing, or if you just got a puppy and want to make sure they are set down the road, look no further. OTC is worth every penny and veteran owned which is badA. Super grateful they exist!!"
