“Bailey and I had gone through 3 different rounds of puppy school before coming to Dairydell.After $600 dollars worth of classes, all Bailey seemed to be able to do was sit. He jumped up on people all the time, pulled me during walks (to the point that my shoulder would hurt), and ran around the house uncontrollably. One night, I came home from work to find my couch torn to pieces. It was that night that I signed Bailey up for Dairydell. We have not looked back since! Bailey has become the perfect dog. He now knows limits and rules. I’m proud to say that he no longer jumps and he walks beautifully right by my side. Dairydell showed me how awesome my dog truly is! Thank you so much!”

“I just want to thank you so much for the miracle you worked with Roxie. She is truly a different dog. I just can’t put into words how amazing it is having her listen! You guys have a top-notch organization. It must be one of the best in the country.”

“We found Dairydell when our Labradoodle, Hudson, was 5 months old. We met a woman walking a beautifully trained Lab who had just returned from training at Dairydell. We immediately signed Hudson up! The result has been invaluable. We now have an obedient, well-behaved, calm Labradoodle. Whenever we’re traveling, we also board Hudson at Dairydell. We know he will be watched after as if he personally belongs to each member of the Dairydell staff. To be honest, we think he has more fun at Dairydell than at home! For us, Dairydell is peace of mind.”

Rhone was going through his "Teen Years" and driving me nuts. He had to be watched all of the time or he'd chew furniture, carpet, or dirty laundry. Our vet recommended Dairydell and suggested he would benefit from their obedience training.
Making a long story short, he entered their program at eight months, was on site for two weeks and came home an extremely well mannered, well behaved puppy. He has since continued to do well. But the very best part of his training came the afternoon I picked him up from Day Care and he slipped out of his collar. In an unfortunate coincidence, the same instant he slipped out of his collar, the door was opened and he was out on the busiest street in our town at the time it carries the heaviest traffic. My heart dropped to the floor, but I remembered Camilla's instructions and knelt down and called him to me. He stopped, looked at me, and came back inside to safety. Had he not been at Dairydell he would have either been severely injured or killed. As soon as we got safely home, I called Camilla and told her if she ever doubted how important her work was, this was proof. Her training was the best thing we could have done for our dog. When the time comes to get another, he or she will also be a Dairydell graduate!

Camilla,
I just want to tell you how happy I am with Nyla’s training.
She has made greater improvements than I had hoped and the more I work with her the better she gets.
One thing I am particularly impressed with is your knowledge of dog behavior and how to get them to do what we want without being abusive. She enjoys working with me now and I enjoy taking her out, which is something I was starting to avoid before the training.
The facilities you have are also first rate in my book and I had no apprehension leaving her there for three weeks. As you know I spoil my dogs and am extremely careful about boarding, so this was most important to me.
I look forward to working with you again and will have Nyla back for some follow up hopefully later this year.
I found out about you through a referral from my sister and will refer you myself in the future.

“I just am wanting to tell you what all your wonderful training has done for Brannan and our family and friends – who now enjoy hanging around with us AND our pooch! We are enjoying such a nice dog with the best manners and disposition. Thank you for working with us. If I ever got another dog, he would be YOURS for his first training!”

Our dog Maddie is on a
"Stay" command - even in the snow!
She learned so much from Camilla at Dairydell,
and now we can take her anywhere!

This
last year provided me with two of the greatest gifts I could ever have
hoped for. After 20 years of trying to get someone from my family to
move North, my sister and best friend, Bambi, finally moved to Sonoma
County. And in December (against the advice of my husband) I got a
Jack Russell Terrier, "Lilly Rose".
My
husband told me that Jack Russells were little monsters and very difficult
to train. Since Lilly completed her training at Dairydell, I am
living my dream. Every Saturday Lilly Rose, Bambi and I all go to my
favorite "dog friendly" coffee shop and have the best time
together. Lilly is so well mannered and interacts like a lady with
all the other customers and dogs. She has mastered the Down/Stay and
I could not be happier.
By the way, after my husband attended
the follow-up classes he had to admit that Lilly was doing a great
job, and maybe I did not make a mistake in getting her....
