What is the OC Dog Ranch?

The OC Dog Ranch is the premiere dog training camp in southern California. Our five acre facility gets at the root of what dogs love — space to run, things to climb, and endless play. By providing a lush and beautiful landscape, we can train canines for life-long obedience. Give your family member the best education in California at a place you can truly feel good about leaving your beloved pet.

Life on the Ranch

Camp

Dogs like trees, grass, and dirt. So why send them to a concrete kennel for training? Let them romp, wrestle, and roll in a fresh outdoor environment. Our ranch is dog heaven and your dog’s enjoyment is our number one goal.

Learn More

Boarding

If you’re like us, your dog is more than a pet. They are a member of your family. When your dog stays with us at the OC Dog Ranch, they will have spacious room to play and get lots of affection. You get a vacation once in a while, why shouldn’t your dog?

Graduation

It is crucial that we educate you once your dog completes boot camp. We meet with you at your home, our ranch, or even via Skype to show you how to reinforce your dog’s good behavior. We do the teaching for both your dog, and you!

What People Say

Dana is the best!  If you need help with your canine friends, contact OC Dog Ranch NOW!!! They are truly a godsend.

Our dog was out of control. We weren’t able to walk him for the first 4 years of his life. We’ve had other trainers attempt to train him but nothing worked. Only Dana and the OC Dog Ranch approach worked. Well worth the time and money.

Dana understands dogs like no one we’ve ever met. And her staff is top notch as well. The whole organization takes wonderful care of the dogs. And they are truly great training the dogs.

We recently rescued a sweet, energetic puppy named Bailey. It had been a few years for us; our last dog died tragically while we were vacationing. We knew we had to find a trustworthy alternative to board our 18 month old puppy. We had unsuccessfully researched several other places when trainer Dana McMahan was recommended to my husband by a coworker.
We knew we had found the right place when we met with Dana and toured the OC Dog Ranch. Plenty of open space with lots of shade trees (and even a swimming pool for swimmers!) to run and play with new friends and a nice clean, safe place to sleep. An experienced trainer and a friendly and attentive crew working with the dogs.
Bailey is now home after 2 weeks at the Ranch and the changes are amazing. She finally has manners! She walks nicely…no more pulling or jumping…and she follows directions! Dana worked with my son and myself at a private session upon pickup and we will be going back for another follow up session in a couple weeks.
Our family can not thank Dana and the crew at the OC Dog Ranch enough for their loving care and exceptional leadership in training of our sweet girl while we were away. Bailey did great during her two weeks at “summer camp” and I know she will have a great time again next time we board her at the Ranch.

Thank you so much Dana!

You have done a great job with Zack. We appreciate your good way of handling and training him. We will do our best to go thru everything with him this coming week.

He looked great and was calm when he came home, looking around and is still sleeping, sleeping, sleeping!

He has had a good time at your place, we can tell, and now has to sleep it off.

 

We are so happy to have him home!!

Thanks to Dana, what was once a sweet but unruly dog (aka the water buffalo) now has three titles under his belt and is on his way to many more! She has worked with Dasher for a relatively short amount of time and has truly brought great and unexpected results. I highly recommend her to anyone that not only wants to have a well behaved companion, but to those that crave a professional to handle or compete with their dog in competitions. Thank you Dana!

Before finding Dana, Auggie’s nickname was “Monster”! Dana’s honest, no-nonsense approach quickly made me realize that we were the problem not Auggie.  She never tried to “up-sell” or get me to buy a package.  In fact, she told me the first day that we would probably not need more than a couple of sessions.  Dana has a clear understanding of what our canine family members are thinking and why they do what they do, but she also quickly recognizes what will and what won’t work for your specific situation.  Unlike every other trainer I have ever worked with over the years, Dana does not have a “one style fits all philosophy”.  Just as with a child she identified in the first session what type of training Auggie would respond to. Don’t let her petite appearance fool you!  My “monster”is a 150 lb intact Newf and it is clear the first moment she met him that Auggie knew she was in charge and respected her immediately.

Dana saved my house and my sanity and now my “monster” can go absolutely anywhere and is often complimented on how well behaved he is.  We continue to work with Dana so we can eventually compete in various trials (rally, obedience etc.). We not only have a well behaved boy but also a boy who is eager to learn and participate!

Dana is not a “dog whisperer”…. She is more the EF Hutton of dog training…… When Dana speaks, everyone (and every dog) listens!

Hi I’m Kuma and I’m one years old. When I was young Dana helped me out in puppy class to be a better boy and to learn how to behave and play with other doggies.  She taught my mom commands to teach me and I learned a lot. When I got older, I started to show aggression towards wheels and would bark at people I saw. Dana is helping me stop being so aggressive to wheels and to stop some of the other problems my mom doesn’t like, such as jumping on people. I know that with Dana’s help that I will overcome these bad habits very soon.  Thank you Dana for being so patient with me!  I really appreciate all the time you spend with me to help me be a good boy!

I adopted my rescue puppy at 8 weeks old and Dana helped with potty training and basics. When I became pregnant I knew we needed refreshers to help Lexi get used to children and get ideas for how to introduce her to the new baby. Thanks to Dana Lexi and my daughter are Best Friends!

I was referred to Dana by my dog’s breeder and I’m so glad they introduced us. She helped me with my Doberman’s reactive aggression on leash and enabled us to enjoy off leash obedience. Thanks to Dana he can go hiking and running off leash and is now a great ambassador for his breed.
