Atlanta's Community Training Center For Dogs and Their People

The ADOG Training Center is where Atlanta dog owners come to learn, train, and build stronger relationships with their dogs.

Located in Chamblee, Georgia, just minutes from the heart of the Atlanta metro area and about a mile from I-285, ADOG serves as the primary training facility for classes, seminars, and educational programs hosted by the ADOG trainers and the Atlanta Kennel Club community.

Whether you have a brand-new puppy, a beloved family dog, or a dog you hope to compete with in canine sports, ADOG provides a welcoming environment where dogs and their people can learn together.

A Training Facility Built for Dog Education

The ADOG training building at 3929 Green Industrial Way in Chamblee hosts dog training classes and educational events throughout the year.

Here you’ll find a community of dedicated dog enthusiasts, trainers, and instructors who share a common goal:

Helping dogs and their owners succeed through education and responsible training.

Programs offered at ADOG include:

• Puppy training and socialization
• Basic dog obedience classes
• AKC Canine Good Citizen preparation
• Conformation handling classes
• Educational seminars and workshops
• Specialty training events and guest speakers

Classes and programs are designed for dog owners at every level—from first-time puppy owners to experienced competitors in dog sports.

Powered by the Atlanta Kennel Club Community

ADOG operates within the vibrant community created by the Atlanta Kennel Club, the first and oldest all-breed dog club in Georgia.

Founded to promote responsible dog ownership and excellence in canine sports, the Atlanta Kennel Club has served the metro Atlanta dog community for over a century.

The club sponsors major dog shows, training programs, and educational events designed to:

• Promote responsible dog ownership
• Encourage good sportsmanship in dog activities
• Educate the public about dogs and dog training
• Support a thriving community of dog lovers in Atlanta

Training at ADOG connects students with that tradition of knowledge, mentorship, and shared passion for dogs.

More Than Just Dog Training

ADOG is more than a place to teach dogs to sit or walk politely on a leash.

It’s a place where people discover the joy of doing more with their dogs.

Many students begin with a simple obedience class and later explore exciting canine activities such as:

• Rally Obedience
• Agility
• Scent Work
• Trick Dog
• Conformation showing

Along the way they meet fellow dog lovers, build lasting friendships, and become part of the broader Atlanta dog community.
