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.

We're so happy to have found Ducktown. What a wonderful new boutique boarding facility owned by the sweetest family. Our dog does not do well in dog daycare type boarding facilities where it is all day group play on concrete, because as an older dog he needs more down time/nap time than young pups and massive group play stresses him out. Ducktown is wonderful! Solo play so I don't have to worry about other dogs playing too rough, lots of outside bathroom breaks and playtime but still plenty of down time for naps to suit his needs. Highly recommend!

I was referred to Ducktown Lodge from a mutual friend when we were in a pinch for a dog sitter at the last minute. Without hesitation she said she could take our fur babies. We have 2 German Shorthair Pointers that are full of energy. Lucinda took great care of them! I would highly recommend her and her facility. We will be repeat customers!

My mini schnauzer, Sherlock, loved his time at Ducktown Lodge. He is an older dog so he does take medicine throughout the day and we are always checking to make sure his preexisting conditions are under control. Everyone was so wonderful about updating us on his condition, keeping him on schedule, & most importantly providing him lots of love. We loved receiving photos and videos of him throughout his stay. Sherlock will definitely be back.

We had the best experience at Ducktown Lodge. Lucinda and Sara are great. Their care was fantastic. Our dogs had the best time, and I was relaxed knowing we had left them in the best care. Honestly, my senior dog Beau seemed sad to come home, he LOVED it there. We will definitely be using Ducktown Lodge for future vacations for our dogs! Highly recommend
