About The Brightside Dog Training & Boarding

What they do

The Brightside is a small family-owned dog boarding and dog training facility on 9.8 acres east of Atlanta. The training side runs both group classes and private lessons, and the dog sports offering is unusually wide for the area: obedience, agility, rally, disc, swimming, dock diving and air retrieve.

Prices and format

The business publishes its 2026 prices openly. Obedience, agility and rally group classes are $125 for a four-week session; dock diving and swimming group classes are $150 for four weeks. Private lessons are $40 per half hour for obedience, disc, agility and rally, and $45 for dock diving, air retrieve and swimming. Boarding is $40 a night for one dog and $20 a night for each additional dog sharing a suite, with playtime and walk add-ons.
