Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat people have asked about this business.
This place comes up when I google "dog herding", is that done at this site?
I don't think so. They do training, boarding, day care, and agility. Although I haven't seen them do agility in a long time. No herding that I'm aware of.

Is this place ASPCA accredit worthy?
We had our dog trained and boarded there. There's not any where else that I would take my dog. The front office staff is knowledgeable and the kennel staff is excellent with dogs. I hope this helps.

We just returned from a one hour training session with Camilla Gray-Nelson at DAIRYDELL CANINE Doggie Dude Ranch & Training Center. It was the most amazing training session we have ever experienced and the results were immediate and have completely transformed the way Max, our German Shepherd, behaves on a leash walk! He is happy that he no longer needs to be directing the pace and direction of the walk . He is relieved to step down from that roll and fall in behind his true leader. If we could give more than 5 stars we would and definitely look forward to more one on one training sessions at DairyDell Canine.

Very disappointing experience. Boarded my dog for few days, I picked him up with a wound on his head. Staff said the crate he was initially placed was small for him. My dog is crate trained since 8 weeks old, he will never hit his head that strong to cause a wound unless forced or threatened or scared. I was so upset. Also, I added an additional service for my dog to swim in the pool with staff assurance that they will take photos to confirm that the service was done. Upon check out, no photos taken, no apologies, very disappointing. Staff were not as welcoming, compared to my previous experience with K9 Activity Club where they were all smiles and always show excitement to welcome my dog. I never got any update of how he was doing during his stay, especially on the day he allegedly hit his head on the crate. I only found out on check out, not cool. I will never come back here. I’m just sharing this so everyone will be guided.
After just one hour training and assessment with Camilla Gray, owner of Dairydell, our one year old wild, high energy, and reactive pup learned to be a relaxed, obedient, and calm dog. Using her wisdom in understanding dog behavior and psychology and her training methods, in just 48 hours of practice, our dog and household were transformed! We are amazed and thankful.
We took our new Doberman puppy, Dax, to Dairy Dell for their “one hour miracle training session”. I thought to myself “how could this possibly work in one hour” but MAN was I wrong!

We took our new Doberman puppy, Dax, to Dairy Dell for their “one hour miracle training session”. I thought to myself “how could this possibly work in one hour” but MAN was I wrong! The course definitely lives up to its title. Our rambunctious Doberman is now listening and behaving so much better, it’s really like night and day. Camilla has a way of simplifying dog training in a way that is so attainable and effective. We are so grateful for Dairy Dell and can’t wait to come back in the future!
