Where dogs walk
Rhodes Jordan Park and Lawrenceville Lawn

Lawrenceville lies about 30 miles northeast of downtown Atlanta, with a historic square and a mix of older streets and newer neighborhoods. Rhodes Jordan Park offers a 1.9-mile paved trail, and Lawrenceville Lawn includes a dog park and a walking path. Rules at each place differ, so check the posted signs. These are handy spots to practice what your dog learned.

Georgia 316 and U.S. 29 carry heavy traffic through the area, so a handoff lesson near home can save a long trip. Ask each trainer about the location of lessons, and whether a fee applies for travel. General estimates for a multi-week stay run about $1,500 to $2,500 or more, and totals vary by trainer, dog and the list of inclusions.

Dog parks can be exciting, so start small after the stay. Practice calm entry, a check-in with you and an easy exit, even if your dog is tempted to run in. Greeting manners and impulse control often matter most here. Keep early visits short and quiet, and leave while things are still going well.

Planning a stay. Three simple steps.

  3. Plan to practice around Rhodes Jordan Park and Lawrenceville Lawn once your dog is home, since short daily sessions keep new habits alive.
