CLARKSTON - ATL , GA
Welcome to BAU, where the ancient bond between humans and dogs is honored with every step. In Mesopotamian mythology, the goddess Bau, known as the healer and protector, had a deep connection to dogs. Just as Bau symbolized care, guidance, and trust, we strive to bring the same qualities into our training programs. With a focus on compassion, respect, and expert techniques, we help you and your dog build a harmonious relationship rooted in mutual understanding. Let us guide you on this journey, where ancient wisdom meets modern training.
Welcome To BAU
SUMMER SERVICES
This summer, Bau Dog Training and Boarding is bringing extra support and sparkle to your home with two unique in-house service offerings—perfect for busy families, working professionals, and anyone needing reliable help while keeping their dogs happy, healthy, and engaged.
Bau's Week-In
Live-In Behavior Reset and Relationship Training
Bau’s Week-In is a one-of-a-kind, immersive training experience where I stay in for a week and work hands-on with both your dog and your household. This isn’t a board-and-train or a drop-in lesson—it’s a full reset rooted in observation, real-life practice, and collaborative coaching in the place where habits actually happen: your home.
​During this week, I’ll:
-
Observe how your dog moves through their day (and how you interact)
-
Identify patterns that may be reinforcing problem behaviors
-
Gently coach you and your family on how to shift communication, structure, and energy
-
Provide real-time corrections and redirection in everyday moments
-
Reinforce core obedience skills and calm behavior throughout the day
Bau's Sit. Stay. Shine.
While you’re away, I move in to care for your dog like family—keeping their routine structured, their mind engaged, and their tail wagging. Each day includes enrichment games, training reinforcement, and plenty of affection, with updates sent straight to you via a private Google photo album.
But it doesn’t stop at the dog.
For an additional fee, I can also help your home shine—taking care of everyday chores like dishes, laundry, vacuuming, or even mowing the lawn. Whether you're gone for a weekend or a full week, you’ll come back to a happy dog and a refreshed home.

From the Owner of Bau:
_edited.jpg)
It was during a challenging time that dogs entered my life like rays of sunshine. Their unconditional love and playful spirit not only lifted my spirits but also restored my sense of purpose. Each wagging tail and joyful bark reminded me of the simple joys that can spark happiness. Now, inspired by the incredible impact dogs have had on my life, I’m dedicated to giving back. I’m passionate about training and fostering strong bonds between humans and their canine companions. There’s nothing quite like the joy of helping others experience the transformative power of a dog. I’m excited to embark on this journey with you, one wag at a time!

WE HAVE BIGGER GOALS!
Bau Dog Training and Boarding is looking to be a community-centered organization dedicated to making high-quality dog training and boarding services accessible to all, regardless of income. Through a compassionate sliding scale model, we will provide peace of mind for busy professionals in need of reliable care for their pets, while ensuring that families with limited financial means are not left behind when it comes to their dogs’ well-being.
What sets Bau apart is our dual mission: we are just as committed to uplifting our community’s youth as we are to caring for dogs. Our unique approach uses dog training as a powerful tool to engage teens and young adults, offering them free, hands-on mentorship and real-world skill-building. Through this process, we not only teach the technical art of dog handling but also share life lessons that nurture emotional growth, discipline, and purpose.
Bau is in its early stages and has been formally established as an LLC. However, we are looking to transition a portion of the company to a 501(c)(3) nonprofit to better align with our vision of saving both dogs and youth. We are now seeking funding to expand our reach, secure a permanent location, and build a program that transforms lives—human and canine alike!
