About Dream Dog Relationship Dynamics

From Camilla Gray-NelsonCreator of the Dream Dog Training Program

For the first 15 years of my training career, I was confounded by the fact that some owners got farther with their dogs’ obedience and good behavior than others.

I found it hard to understand why, with the same information from me, some owners sailed through while others struggled or even quit. Nothing makes a trainer feel disheartened like a client who gives up or stops trying. It’s as stressful for us trainers as it is for the client.

Determined to solve this dilemma, I started keeping track of each dog and owner that came through our school and their results. What I found was both ground- breaking and obvious. The problem wasn’t a naughty dog. It wasn’t a lazy owner, either. It was how their personalities interacted. Just like human relationships! From the get-go, some relationships are a love-match and others are a train-wreck. That is to say, personalities either blend well together naturally or they naturally clash.

Now that we at Dairydell have the tools to determine owner and dog personalities from the beginning, we can share both forecasts for the challenges that might be expected ahead and more importantly, how you can navigate around these potential challenges and not be surprised or discouraged by them.

If you are shopping around for a Bay Area dog boarding school, here are some reasons to choose Dairydell:

  • We are the ONLY Board and Train featuring dog training for women.
  • We are the ONLY Board and Train offering a modular program with entry level options as short as 1 week, with additional modules which can be added a week or more at a time at any future date.
  • We are the ONLY Board and Train which focuses as much on service “after the sale” as we do on making the sale. When your dog “graduates”, it is just the beginning of our relationship. Owner training classes at our Petaluma Training Facility are included in every training package and ongoing Maintenance Classes are held on Saturdays for all our graduates, all year long!
  • We’ve never had an advertising budget. Instead, we invest in your success so you will send your friends. Our amazing business has been honestly built on sincere referrals from grateful clients and there’s no better marketing plan we can think of. 

We look forward to serving you and your dog soon!

If you are looking for a “Cookies-Only” training program, this may not be the program for you.

However, if you want to STOP unwanted behaviors the way a mother dog would quietly but clearly teach her young, you’ll be amazed and thrilled!

We will even be including special HOLIDAY training exercises for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and 4th of July!
