Real fun, real farm, real learning
Welcome to the ultimate doggie destination:
Dairydell’s Doggie Dude Ranch & Training Center!
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!
