Located on a historic 120-acre dairy farm in the rolling hills of Sonoma Wine Country, Dairydell Canine is a one stop shop for dog training and boarding needs. Founded in 1989, owner Camilla Gray-Nelson serves as lead trainer for both the daily training programs and the live-in boarding/training school. She is the pioneer of the Dairydell Method* of Natural Dog Training - a specialized form of training that emphasizes "quiet power," based on canine psychology and control through leadership instead of cookies or treats, or loud voice commands. Gray-Nelson has successfully trained over 4,000 dogs from all over the United States; she is a leading expert in the field of dog training and dog psychology. She holds memberships in the International Association of Canine Professionals and the National Association of Dog Obedience Instructors. As an active dog breeder, exhibitor and professional trainer, her own dogs have consistently ranked among the top US competitors in their breeds.

In addition to a variety of training programs, Dairydell Canine also offers five-star boarding and day care. The facility is designed to let dogs experience country life for the duration of their stay; a real doggie dude ranch offering Bunk House group accommodations for dogs that enjoy the company of other canines, and Private Suites offering comfort and solace for older, or less sociable dogs. Besides nature walks, swimming in the salt water pool, and Frisbee sessions, sheep herding has become a popular new activity at Dairydell. Visitors to Sonoma County's Wine Country can take advantage of Dairydell by letting the trained qualified staff care for Fido overnight, and have the flexibility of whisking him away for dog-friendly side trips throughout their stay.

Dairydell has very fair prices for boarding with plenty of options for your special pal.
