Why professional training is essential for Dawsonville dog owners
Behavior modification
Address jumping, pulling, barking, anxiety, and reactivity at the root, not just the symptom.
Safety & control
A dog that listens the first time is a safer dog around traffic, livestock, wildlife, and people.
Stronger bond
Clear communication builds trust, so your dog looks to you for direction instead of guessing.
Skills that transfer
We hand the training over to you at pickup, so the obedience keeps working at home.
Family harmony
A calm, well-mannered dog means a calmer home for kids, guests, and other pets alike.

Built for how Dawsonville dogs actually live
Dawson County is mountain and lake country: Amicalola Falls to the north, the Dawson Forest tracts, and the Lake Lanier shoreline to the south. Plenty of families here have land, and plenty of dogs here have learned that land means freedom to wander.
That is the recall problem in a sentence. A dog that comes when called in the yard and a dog that comes when called with a deer at the tree line are two different dogs. We train and test both, around real distractions, not just in a quiet room.
The two-week board and train is where off-leash recall gets built. If you would rather do it yourself, the eight-lesson program adds heel, distance work and advanced commands on top of the basics.
Where your dog will shine
- Amicalola Falls State Park
- Dawson Forest Wildlife Management Area
- Rock Creek Park
- The Lake Lanier shoreline
- Downtown Dawsonville
Owner Tyler Breh moved to Georgia in 2015 to start his law enforcement career, and spent most of it as a K9 handler. Since then he has trained in obedience, detection, bite work, tracking and decoy work with working-dog trainers across Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina.
He and his team of trainers work with dogs and their owners across North Georgia today.
What our clients say
“He kept us updated regularly and Chipper (our Portuguese water dog puppy) came home so well trained! He took his time to train us too so that the training can continue to be successful.”
“We gave him a stubborn dog with 8 years of bad habits, and he gave us a completely different, well trained and disciplined dog.”
“We took Cliff for a walk today in the neighborhood. No leash, he followed every command. Highly recommend them”
Frequently asked questions
Do you train dogs in Dawsonville?
Yes. Dawsonville is one of the towns our clients come from most, and our trainers travel to clients across Dawson County by appointment. Call for a free phone consultation and we will set up your first lesson near you.
Where do the lessons take place?
Somewhere with real distractions near you, not inside your house. A dog that listens in a quiet living room has not learned much yet; a dog that listens at a busy park has. Your trainer sets the spot with you when you book.
What happens in board and train?
Your dog lives and trains with one of our professional trainers for one or two weeks. When your dog comes home you get a one-on-one handover session (1.5 hours after the one-week program, 2 hours after the two-week) on every command and how to handle it. Details are on our plans and pricing page.
My dog is reactive or aggressive. Can you help?
Yes, through our aggressive dog hybrid program: four private lessons first, where the trainer evaluates your dog's behavior, then a one or two-week board and train focused on what sets your dog off. No trainer can honestly promise a complete fix for serious aggression, and we will not pretend to.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. Payment plans are available. Call us today to learn more about payment options.
