Questions & answers

From Google

What 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.

Question on Google
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.

I’ve been taking my English Bulldog to Dairydell for a few years now. The staff is super knowledgeable and helpful! My pup comes back after a week or two of boarding clean, healthy, happy, and sleepy. I appreciate how attentive everyone has been with her - they’re well-trained in keeping up with her meds and recently helped me find the best boarding-routine for her after she’s been through two knee surgeries this past year. My vacations are even better knowing that she’s at the best place she could possibly be when I’m out of town.

After visiting four other boarding facilities in Santa Rosa this year and I chose Dairydell to leave my dog while I’m away. Most facilities don’t provide private suites, don’t allow pet beds or toys to be with dog during stay in private suite. Dairydell offers individual nature walks for dogs and playtime with other dogs or individually with staff person. I know my dog will be well taken care of and be safe at Dairydell while I’m on vacation.

Just finished a set of training sessions with our trainer Tina who was absolutely wonderful! I came with a very fearful dog who pulled on the leash, was reactive on our walks to people and dogs, as well as reactive to guests within the house. I had tried different options for training that were not successful for me. Then I found Dairydell! Tina was able to provide me with the support and tools needed to feel like a confident dog owner. I now go on walks stress free, I no longer have to turn around when another dog is coming my way to avoid a reaction, and I know how to properly introduce my dog to guests making him feel confident and relaxed. I cannot express my gratitude enough because my dog and I can now live a more harmonious life. Thank you Tina and thank you Dairydell!
