The OC Dog Ranch is the premiere dog training camp in 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.
What is the OC Dog Ranch?
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.
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
This review is long overdue, since we completed our training a couple of months ago. But, I wanted to post because everyone should know that Sarah is an awesome trainer! I was ready to return my rambunctious Labrador puppy to the breeder, but so thankful I called Sarah instead!! After just one session, Sarah had given us the tools we needed to begin setting limits and expectations on our pup, Crosby. Over the next few weeks of training, we realized just how smart our little girl is and everyone began commenting on how well behaved she had become. Crosby now knows boundary lines and stays in our yard, without a fence, even when other dogs walk by! She sits/lays in a stay command. She heels perfectly, and when off leash, she comes with just one call of her name.

Because of this talented young woman I have a dog who has gotten over most of his anxieties. I continue to do the exercises she taught us. Marco is a delight. He will probably never get over his fear of older men as a whole, but he knows not to be afraid of the friends to come to our house. I don’t have to crate him when we have company… he has learned to be part of our family.
Whether you are starting from the beginning, doing behavior touch up or if you want to seriously show your dog… Sarah is the trainer you need. She is, quite simply, amazing.

I will continued to highly recommend Sarah to anyone in need of a great trainer. Our 2 Aussies absolutely loved training with her. Oh and my husband was a so so student as well. Sarah is very well educated in all breed types. Her knowledge is essential in helping you understand your K-9’s instincts and characteristics. You won’t regret money well spent to ensure a happy family with your furry kids.

Can’t say enough wonderful things about Sarah. Recently completed 5 sessions with her and our 2 year old Labradoodle Max. He was having leash aggression problems and bolting when off leash, he’s a whole different dog now. Walking him is a joy and he’s walking off leash like a pro!
Not only does she train the dog, she trains the owner. She’s a joy to work with and has all the patience in the world! I highly recommend her…

Sarah is like the dog whisperer, only a million times better. We sought out her help with our overly excited rambunctious pup Hendrix. We were experiencing neck and back pains from his pulling on the leash on walks. He’s strong. After only 1 training session with her we saw results. Her techniques are incredible! We literally could not believe our own eyes. He went from pulling our arm out of it’s socket on every walk to walking off leash and heeling at that! He listened to commands and would even stop what he was doing to come running to us if we called. I can’t speak highly enough of her abilities. I must note- it was a good amount of hard work on our part as well….but she definitely trained us how to train him and it worked! She’s fantastic.

Sarah helped me train our dog. From the very first lesson I could tell she had a way with dogs. Our dog took to her right away and almost instantly I could tell a change in our dogs ability to learn. Sarah knows how to train dogs plain and simple. She is flexible in her scheduling and is one of the most down to earth people you will meet. I can not think of any other person I would want to train my dog. Not only dose she help train your dog but she helps train you to train your dog. Many trainers won’t do that as they soon become unnecessary. However, Sarah knows the best way to get results from your dog is repetition and your ability to train the dog when she’s not there. I would recommend Sarah to anyone who wants their dog to be trained by the best.
