Dog Board and Train Near the Bay Area

…or does he just need to learn NOT to jump, NOT to pull you down the street, NOT to bolt out the door and NOT to steal food off your counters?

If you’re tired of board and train programs that aren’t working for you, or have a dog that only listens when he sees a cookie… let us help you.

Dogs don’t misbehave because they’re untrained – they act out because they’re CONFUSED! They are canines living in a human world and many things have been lost in translation.

The deepest canine question is NOT “How do I perform the perfect Sit?” but “Who makes the rules here and what are mine?” They can’t focus on anything else until this critical instinctive question has been answered.

Our Dream Dog Complete board and train program at Dairydell Canine is nature-based and leadership-focused. We train your dog from the inside out, determining what instinctive causes are behind their errant behaviors and developing a comprehensive plan to address them. Instead of focusing solely on commands, we focus on teaching a dog “how to be”, the way dogs do between themselves, making the rules of polite behavior clear and enforcing them with follow-through that’s at once firm but fair and friendly. With our Nature-Based approach, there’s no need to yell or bribe. Dogs don’t, and we don’t need to either.

Answer their most important question and nervous dogs begin to relax. Hyperactive dogs start to calm down and Stubborn dogs finally listen – because their confusion is gone when YOU are in charge and THEY have rules.
