About East Atlanta Doggie Dojo

What they do

East Atlanta Doggie Dojo publishes a short, priced menu: a free 30-minute initial consultation, one-hour in-person dog training at $120, a 30-minute virtual coaching session at $50, and dog walks at 30, 45 and 60 minutes ($30, $40 and $50). A free initial consultation is required before booking any in-person training; dog walking and online coaching can be booked without one.

How they work

Sessions run at the business's own facility, in the client's home, or at a nearby park or space, “depending on what best supports your dog’s needs and your training goals.” The site describes a methodology that “centers on holistic, pain-free techniques that prioritize scientific implementation of operant conditioning to foster lasting, positive habits,” covering leash reactivity, recall and puppy work, with the stated mission extending “beyond simple obedience to nurturing the bond between you and your dog.”

Background

Garrett Kelly is named on the site as founder and principal instructor. It states he earned certification through the Beckman Coaching Program, spent more than ten years at a board-and-train center in San Francisco, and returned to Atlanta in February 2026 to start the business. The Dojo is based in East Atlanta Village.
