On a historic dairy farm in California’s Sonoma County, Kurt and Camilla Gray/Nelson have transformed their working ranch into a dog-lover’s dreamland. 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.” The cows are still there, but now canines rule!
Clients at Dairydell can choose from a bonanza of services – from boarding and obedience training to nature walks, laps in the pool, cuddle-time massage, brain builders, personalized play time, grooming and educational seminars.
Treat your dog to a day or a stay on the farm. From ranch dogs to city lickers, our doggie dude ranch has everything a canine could want.
Your social dog might stay in our Bunk House accommodations, enjoying the daily company of other dogs, or he may be more comfortable in a relaxing Private Suite, with at-will access to a comfortable room and a generous outdoor run with doggie neighbors on either side. Either way, your dog will rate us “5-Bones” and beg to come back!
For your dog’s happiness and his safety, obedience training is a must. Let our professional staff help develop your dog’s full potential and transform him into the dog of your dreams.Your choice of:
Dairydell training classes provide practical tips for women on stopping common household behaviors like jumping, barking, digging, counter-surfing and more. Women learn quiet control to change their dog’s behavior (no yelling or bravado). They will take away valuable lessons for becoming more effective in other areas of their life as well.
Providing a good foundation for your new puppy is essential. In fact, learning to choose the right puppy from the get-go is even more important!
Dairydell offers Puppy “Good Start” Consultations as well as “Matchmaker” Advice and “Baby-Ready” Training for puppies or older dogs of families expecting a new “addition” into their household.
