CPT delivers industry-leading dog training in Atlanta. CPT Trainers focus on building reliability, improving behavior, and optimizing the overall household dynamic. Our evidence-based methodology and three decades of experience position CPT’s dog trainers as trusted partners in educating dogs toward consistent, confident performance.
Whether you’re targeting housebreaking, household manners, behavior modification, basic on-leash obedience, or advanced off-leash obedience, CPT provides results-driven programs tailored to your goals. From early puppyhood through adult and senior ages, CPT’s programs deliver the premier dog training experience in Atlanta. Most importantly, CPT’s dog obedience, manners, and behavior modification programs will provide you lasting success, long-term owner satisfaction, and maximum enjoyment of your pet-owning experience.
CPT offers customized pet training programs backed by nationally recognized professional Pet Experts. Unique to Atlanta pet training organizations, CPT Trainers have coauthored 17 peer-reviewed, military-funded, canine neuroscience research studies. The noteworthy canine fMRI and field psychology studies were covered by 60 Minutes, Nova, and other major media outlets, reinforcing CPT’s knowledge of what happens within your dog’s mind- and our leadership amongst Atlanta’s dog training companies.
Moreover, CPT Trainer experience goes beyond the pet training and research realm. CPT Trainers and students have achieved numerous competition accolades, including obedience, schutzhund, agility, tracking, and conformation titles from the AKC, UKC, ASCA, USA, and several other sanctioning bodies. Moreover, our Trainer and student accomplishments include many placements, High-in-Trial awards, a Regional championship, and National event participation. This depth of expertise provides an unequalled foundation for Atlanta dog owners seeking high-quality dog obedience, household manners, or behavioral training via one or a combination of group class, private instruction, in-home private instruction, virtual private instruction, or board train services.

CPT’s obedience program teaches essential skills, such as leash manners, impulse control, recall, polite greetings, and calm household behavior. Concurrently, CPT Trainers address foundational communication and problem-solving that supports long-term success.
CPT’s methodology imparts the highest standards and greatest results. Scheduling a CPT group class, private lesson, or board train is an ideal decision for any Atlanta dog owner or dog owning family. An obedient dog is a happy dog and belongs to a happy family.
Yes. CPT offers age-appropriate programs for every stage of life and every stage of learning. CPT’s puppy training classes progressively build socialization, confidence, knowledge, and skill.
CPT’s adult-level classes teach intermediate and advanced skills, refine behavior, and improve reliability and responsiveness.
Absolutely. CPT provides one-on-one instruction tailored to your dog’s needs. Regardless of whether you wish to emphasize housebreaking; household manners; early dog-human, dog-dog, dog-cat, or dog-environmental socialization; puppy imprint obedience; beginner on-leash obedience; advanced off-leash obedience; general impulse control; or behavior modification (esp. anxiety, hyperactivity, or aggression), CPT’s training staff is highly adept at helping you to accomplish your goals.
Many owners choose private training to accelerate progress or to better address individualized objectives. Private instruction provides a dedicated CPT dog trainer, who provides focused guidance and measurable outcomes. Furthermore, we can conduct private sessions at the CPT- Sandy Springs Training Center, at your home, or virtually. No Atlanta dog training company can match CPT’s services or staff.
CPT starts puppy training as young as eight weeks of age. Whether you have a young puppy or an adult rescue, immediately upon bringing your new pet home, we wish to impart proper housebreaking and manners behaviors and teach basic obedience skills, especially name recognition and recall.
Other important components of an overall program include dog-owner relationship dynamics; socialization with humans, dogs, cats, and environmental stimuli; and general confidence-building. Early engagement supports long-term behavioral stability and prepares your Atlanta dog for subsequent higher-level group classes, private lessons, or board train lesson plans.
In addition to our outstanding pet training programs, CPT has a nationally recognized service dog program. Consequently, for disabled clients, CPT can teach pertinent task behaviors that educate a dog beyond the pet level, whereby the dog becomes a proficient public access service animal that maximizes the client’s quality of life.
