Fetch & Sketch Dog Training, located in Peachtree Corners, GA, is owned and operated by Jillian Pellegrino, a certified dog trainer with extensive experience in guide dog training, service dog placement, and behavioral rehabilitation. The business offers a wide range of services including puppy training, obedience instruction, behavior modification, and board-and-train programs. They specialize in immersive, facility-based training where dogs live on-site for structured, 24/7 conditioning. Their programs focus on building clear communication, structure, and boundaries between dogs and owners. In addition to training, they provide dog daycare services with temperament testing and supervised play, as well as phone consultations for personalized advice. Their approach emphasizes balanced training methods, including the use of e-collars for severe behavioral cases, and they offer lifetime access to support after training completion.

Jillian has over six years of experience raising guide dogs for the blind and has trained dogs for explosive detection and service work for veterans. She also partners with local rescues and provides free educational seminars on nutrition and adoption training. The business serves dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and behavioral challenges, from basic potty training to severe aggression and separation anxiety.

They offer both in-facility and in-home training options, with packages designed for puppies, adolescents, and adult dogs. Their Day Training and Puppy Boot Camp programs are intensive, 3-week residential programs, while their Board & Train packages range from 2 to 8 weeks for more complex issues. They also provide a Puppy Basics program for shorter-term needs and one-on-one in-home sessions for fine-tuning.

Clients can receive progress updates via email and social media during boarding, and all training includes a go-home packet and follow-up sessions. The facility includes spacious play areas, raised beds, and individual crates, though concerns have been raised about crate size and oversight during daycare hours.

Jillian’s personal experience with a dog with behavioral issues drives her mission to provide compassionate, results-driven training with a focus on long-term relationship building between owners and their dogs.
