Atlanta Dogworks

Atlanta Dogworks offers dog boarding, daycare, and training on a 15-acre property in Ball Ground, Georgia, in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Dogs stay in private, climate-controlled suites and spend their days in the grass yards, the indoor gym, or the pool. Reservations are handled by phone.

What the property includes

The suites have flat screen TVs, skylights, and scenic windows, and webcam access lets owners look in during a stay. Indoor play happens in a 3,000 sq. ft. heated and air-conditioned dog gym with treadmills and agility equipment. Outside there is a 1,200 square meter fenced sand play yard and a custom 22' x 41' swimming pool with a dock and swim deck.

How the days are structured

Every dog gets individual turnouts four times a day in the grass yards. Nature walks take dogs around the property past the farm animals, and pool time or gym time can be added on top. Staff supervision runs 24 hours a day, and capacity tops out at 10 dogs, so the operation stays small.

Practical details

Atlanta Dogworks is at 1690 Julius Bridge, Ball Ground, GA 30107. Booking is by phone at (770) 735-6200 rather than an online form, which also gives owners a chance to talk through which suite and which add-ons suit their dog. Grooming, training, and transport can all be arranged as part of the same stay.
