Welcome to the ultimate doggie destination:
Dairydell’s Doggie Dude Ranch & Training Center!

Dairydell, as the ranch is called, has been noted as a premier dog training establishment since 1989, featuring Camilla’s unique style of natural dog training under her familiar motto: “Wild to Wonderful”.
