The team at Nelson Kennels is amazing. They treat Lola as one of their own family members when she stays and bird dog training to boot! I know this because she is always excited when she goes back and has learned some amazing hunting and obedience. I would not trust anyone else more with my dog.

The absolute best training & boarding in the greater Bay Area! They work with both owner & dog to ensure long term growth. We have boarded both our Vizslas there repeatedly. Scott handled our dog in AKC trials and earned several first place placements. Additionally they're awesome people who have fostered an amazing dog community that is always willing to help a fellow owner in need.

I took my young rescue Britanny to Deanna at Nelson Kennels for obedience training 3 months ago at the recommendation of a friend. He is a lovely dog but because he hadn't received enough attention in his young life, had no manners, pulled on leash, wouldn't come if he didn't feel like it, ran away, was generally a challenge around the house etc. I enrolled him in the monthly in-kennel board / training program and took weekly lessons from Deanna with him. I have a changed dog, and just as importantly, during the lessons, I learned the skills of how to control him !
We are now getting tons of compliments about his training when I have him in public, and 2 weeks ago we completed an off leash obedience challenge at the Nelson Kennels Volta Farms training field and aced it. I am so proud of my dog and thankful to Deanna. She and her husband Scott have taken great care with him and have helped me turn his life around. I am going to continue with the obedience training at Nelson Kennels and may even do some show trials with him later this year. It was well worth the investment.
BTW - I did arrange for regular bathing and nail trim for my dog at the on-site groomers during his in-kennel stay and was very happy with them.

Always a great experience for my 3 dogs and me. When I leave the dogs for a stay at Nelson Kennels, I know their health, safety and comfort will always be provided by the staff at Nelson Kennels. The staff are always friendly and accommodating to both the needs of my dogs and me. I can relax from the time I drop off the dogs until the time I pick them up because I know they will be safe and well cared for. If you are a dog owner, you can't find a better boarding facility!
