If you’ve been searching for a dog training solution that delivers real, lasting results—not just a few new commands your dog forgets the moment you get home—Dairydell Canine’s Board & Train program may be exactly what you’ve been looking for.
Located on our working farm in Petaluma, California, Dairydell has been transforming dogs and the families who love them since 1989, and owners travel from throughout the region to take advantage of what we offer here. Why? Because our approach is unlike anything available closer to home. Under the guidance of Camilla Gray-Nelson, a 30-year professional trainer who has worked with over 10,000 dogs, Board & Train at Dairydell immerses your dog in a structured, nature-based environment where real behavioral change happens—not over months, but over the course of a focused stay.
Your dog lives and learns here, surrounded by experienced trainers who understand how dogs actually think and communicate. Programs range from a 3-Day Basic Manners course to our comprehensive 2-Week program, and every option includes owner maintenance classes so you and your dog stay on the same page when they come home. If you’re wondering whether Board & Train is right for your dog, the best next step is a simple phone call. We’ll talk through what you’re dealing with, what to expect, and whether the trip to Dairydell makes sense for you. Most of our out-of-area clients tell us it was the best decision they ever made for their dog.

In this powerful two-week course, our professional trainers quickly tackle leash pulling, jumping up and Come when Called, then polish leash manners and add practical, everyday commands like Go to Your Place, Leave It, Stay and Wait for real-world reliability. Let our trainers do the hard work while you relax at home or on vacation.
While your dog is in training, you study behavior solution videos in Club Instabedience so you’re ready for your personalized Owner class at the end, where a trainer shows you exactly how to activate, use and maintain your dog’s new skills.
Pulling, Jumping, Coming when Called and Basic Manners, Place, Wait, Stay, Leave It and Coming when Called under Distraction + Owner class
Planned into our Dairydell teaching model for any class or course is your access to our entire training video library.
These instructional behavior videos are on the Club Instabedience platform where you can prepare for your 1:1 classes and get continued help following-through with your new skills after your class or course.
Unlike the plethora of “how-to” videos sprinkled throughout the internet, the Instabedience platform is unique:
It delivers proven, Nature-based solutions from our founder and Director of Training, time-tested over 30 years — all in one place.
Each behavior video gets to the root of the issue, explaining why it is happening in the first place and reveals what the dog owner might unintentionally be doing to perpetuate it.
Unlike other videos, these Nature-based solutions do not rely on treats, bribery or alternative behaviors or commands. They focus on actually STOPPING the behaviors with quiet power and the improved relationship with the dog that results.
You can “unsubscribe” any time, or you can keep your Instabedience resource live. Your choice.
We will contact you to schedule your pre-boarding assessment.
