What vaccinations are required for training?

In order to maintain a safe and healthy environment for all the dogs at our resort, we ask that all dogs have up-to-date vaccinations for rabies, distemper combo, influenza, and Bordetella. Bordetella vaccination needs to be renewed every 6 months.

You will have a one-on-one meeting with a member of our professional training team. During this meeting, we will discuss your goals, challenges, and experiences. We will walk you through our processes, provide information about our programs and facility, and assist in determining the best training approach for your specific situation. This meeting serves as the initial step in creating a tailored training program for your pet.

Do you offer puppy training?

What can you teach my dog?

Our trainers specialize in helping your dog to become the best family member possible. We achieve this by teaching essential obedience commands like sit, stay, come when called, and leave it. Additionally, we focus on improving leash manners, socialization, and home behavior. If you have a specific training goal in mind, please let us know during your Training Evaluation, and we can discuss solutions.

About Alpharetta, GA

Alpharetta is a city in northern Fulton County, Georgia, and part of the Atlanta metropolitan area. As of the 2020 US Census, Alpharetta’s population was 65,818.

In the 1830s, the Cherokee people in Georgia and elsewhere in the South were forcibly relocated to the Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma) under the Indian Removal Act. Pioneers and farmers later settled on the newly vacated land, situated along a former Cherokee trail stretching from the North Georgia mountains to the Chattahoochee River.

Known as the town of Milton through July 1858, the city of Alpharetta was chartered on December 11, 1858, with boundaries extending in a 0.5-mile radius from the city courthouse. It served as the county seat of Milton County until 1931, when Milton County merged with Fulton County to avoid bankruptcy during the Great Depression.

Perfectly positioned between the North Georgia Mountains and the city of Atlanta, Alpharetta conveniently provides quick access to more than 300 attractions. Explore 250 shops within a five-mile radius, more than 200 restaurants, one-of-a-kind attractions like The Velvet Note and MiniMe Factory, and more than 750 acres of parkland.

Ruff House Dog Resort stands out as an exceptional asset in this area. Our offerings extend beyond comprehensive dog training services for the residents of Alpharetta; we also provide conveniences such as dog boarding, daycare, and grooming.
