One Star - Extremely Disappointing and Disturbing Experience…read more We boarded our Labrador at Blue Barn Ranch in Yucca Valley, trusting that he would receive proper care and attention. Unfortunately, our experience was extremely upsetting. When we picked him up, we discovered a significant abrasion around his neck that appeared consistent with a rope burn or injury from a collar or restraint. The wound was crusted, oozing fluid, and had an unpleasant odor. This was clearly more than a minor scratch. What made the situation even more concerning was learning that the facility had noticed an odor coming from the affected area. We were never notified of any injury or concern about his condition when we picked him up. We subsequently took our dog to our veterinarian, who confirmed that the wound was infected. His neck had to be shaved so the affected area could be properly treated. We are now facing additional veterinary expenses, and the full cost of treatment is still unknown. We entrusted Blue Barn Ranch with the care of a member of our family. Instead, our dog came home with a substantial injury and an infection requiring veterinary attention. The fact that there were apparently signs of a problem while he was at the facility, yet we were not informed, is particularly troubling. We believe every pet owner has the right to expect their animal to be treated with care, monitored appropriately, and returned in a condition that does not require unexpected medical treatment resulting from an injury sustained during boarding. Based on our experience, we would not board our dog at Blue Barn Ranch again. I strongly encourage other pet owners to ask questions and carefully consider their options before trusting this facility with their animals. This was a deeply disappointing experience that has caused our family unnecessary worry, emotional distress, and additional veterinary expenses.

I called PS dog training and Ellen explained to me how it works. After everything was set up I dropped my boy off at her place for boot camp (yes boot camp lol - he stays with her for 2 weeks if you want that) Her house is in the middle of nowhere but it's really great out there. she has a little run for the smaller dogs and a bigger one for bigger dogs. she also has horses and geese and god knows what else :-) my little one is really scared of people but he didn't act up too bad with her (which is a great compliment) So after a week i wanted him back because....well i missed him :-) that was fine with her and we kept on with training in private sessions once a week. I don't know how it is now but back then she did it like that: you paid a set amount and she will work with you...well until the dog gets it. The next great thing: Boarding. Ellen takes her clients dogs for boarding. it's not cheap but also not really more expensive than others around. She even took our second puppy before he had all his shots (which means she had to keep him seperate from the others so he won't get sick - which she did. and it was HIGHLY appreciated. ) I was never worried when they were with her and they always got excited when they came to Ellen. Long story short - my dog has no perfect manners because I went back home during my husbands deployment and then we moved away from Cali. but if we would have had more time - heck I know she could have made a well behaved doog out of Stewie. He got a lot better (oh and geeez he learns SLOOOOOw lol) but the time was just too short to really accomplish everything we wanted. Ellen is a fun lady and she knows what she is talking about and the most important thing to me: she really cares about the dogs.

As a proud dog parent to three energetic furballs, I can confidently say Petco in Yucca Valley is…read moreone of their favorite places--second only to the backyard when treats are involved! Why We Love It Here 1. Services Galore From full-service grooming to vaccination clinics that never charge a visit fee, Petco makes pet care easy and affordable for all our various (and continual) puppy needs. 2. Grooming: Tail Wags Guaranteed The ladies here are pawsome. While GSPs don't need a whole lot of grooming, we see our dogs' fluffier friends leave here tails wagging and owners smiling. 3. Training & Community Whether it's puppy classes or adult obedience, each of our pups--big, medium, and "will-sit-only-if-I'm-snacking" small--has thrived. And it's a comfort knowing they're learning from certified trainers. 4. Lastly, it warms my heart to see their pet adoptions. Knowing that local people are finding their new pals there and that the furry companions are getting a forever-home means the world to me and my children. My only frustation is that the lines can be a little long and it's not always easy to find help, but I try to remind myself that these people are not only caring for the community but also changing lives.
