Another thing we love is everyone we have come in contact with here really obeys the rules of "going to a dog park" if somebody's pup gets in a "mood" they leave as not to cause issues for others (we also have left when our dog was getting a bit too bossy).

So much history here with the old tv and movies that they used to film. At one point they had a watering hole set up to film underwater scenes and you can see the remnants of where they did it. The one main loop is very shaded which is nice, especially if you want to hike on a warmer day. They have beautiful rock formations with some caves. They also have park benches and picnic tables along the way to sit and rest and take in the beautiful scenery. I found a nice shaded picnic spot and had a surprise Mother's Day picnic with the trees and stream as a beautiful backdrop. My mom really enjoyed our day here. The only downfall is what it used to be. It's sad that a fire went through here and burned a lot of the set buildings they used to have . I wish I had seen it before that all happened. Too bad they didn't rebuild it.

In the summertime, it can be super hot so it's best to get started earlier in the morning. Recently, though we had a little rain and there was a whole lot more greenery than I ever remember seeing or expected. This was my first trip out in probably over a decade, so I decided to go in from a different direction to change it up a little bit, and I started from Bell Canyon and what a different beautiful trail that was with a creek running next to it, but before you go, I didn't notice until on my return back to my truck that this particular trail is actually private to those who live in the neighborhood; the few people I passed were pleasant and never asked if I was local or anything, so I think if you park and are just respectful and keep it quiet there won't be a big deal, but this trail is taking you around the mtn, so you're gonna add mileage to get to a place that you could actually park closer. The main trails are all well kept and in good condition and it's not until you get into the lesser used further out trails that you might encounter some slight bushwhacking, but the castle peak Summit is beautiful and fun as is the cave of the munits and other holes. Parking can be a pain, but it can be found, but may require a short walk.

You can immediately tell how much they genuinely care about every dog that comes through their doors. The facility is so much ! more than a boarding place. It's like a doggie park and vacation all in one, with plenty of opportunities to play, socialize, exercise, and have fun. It gives you such peace of mind knowing your dog is not only safe and well cared for, but also happy and enjoying their time there. I highly recommend them! Prices are fair.

I'm extremely disappointed with my experience here, and my main concern is the way an employee…read moretreated my puppy, Obie. Obie was already nervous when he arrived, and I was told that they would take things slowly with him. While I understand that puppies can be nervous in a new environment, what happened during his visit was much more concerning to me. An employee physically handled Obie while he was visibly scared and uncomfortable. I did not feel that the way she handled him was appropriate, and as his owner, it was extremely upsetting to watch. What made it even more concerning was that she was turned around at one point rather than actively watching and supervising the dogs. I understand that employees have multiple dogs to watch, but when an employee is supposed to be interviewing a new puppy and their temperament, I would expect that interaction to be closely supervised and handled with care. I had specifically explained that Obie was nervous and was told he would be eased into the environment, which made what I witnessed even more disappointing. My concern is not that Obie was nervous or that he needed time to adjust. My concern is specifically how an employee chose to physically handle him when he was clearly uncomfortable. I have screen recordings from the daycare cameras documenting what happened, so this review is based on what I personally witnessed and have recorded, not simply my interpretation of how the visit went. I would expect a daycare entrusted with people's dogs to prioritize gentle, patient, and appropriate handling, especially with a young puppy who is already scared. Unfortunately, after witnessing how Obie was treated, I left feeling very uncomfortable with the experience.

I brought…read morehim for the 1-hr personality test as soon as he was finished with all his puppy vaccinations. Even after 14 years when we ask, "Want to visit the puppies!", he runs to the door wagging his tail. They are so loving and attentive to the dogs. Wilson happily goes through their doors without a leash, and often walks right back to the door to the play area. Over the years they've contacted me if they saw a sore, scrape, weird bump, itchy skin, not eating, not seeming like his usual self, or anything they thought we should know about. And they are EXTREMELY conscientious about health and vaccinations. 1. In 14 years Wilson has never returned home with a flea or illness. 2. Several years ago there was a new disease which dogs were catching and there was a newly released vaccine which WestLA Dogs sent information about, with a warning that without proof of vaccination dogs would not be admitted. It happened that we had to leave town for the weekend and they checked and found that Wilson had not yet had the vaccine. The ONLY way they would let Wilson stay was if he was sequestered in one of the single rooms with no access to other dogs. And we are probably the longest clients they have and they know Wilson as well as we do. BUT they were taking NO chances on exposing the other dogs. 3. They regularly send a reminder if a vaccine is due and check their records that the pup is up-to-date. I also love that if you just want to drop your pup for a couple of hours you can do so, or leave them for a longer time. I think the longest we've ever left Wilson is 2 weeks and he came home happy and relaxed - as though he had been on vacation, too.

The amount of love, patience, communication, and genuine care they give them is something really rare. You can tell they truly care about the animals they watch and pay attention to each dog individually instead of treating them like "just another dog." My dogs are always happy, comfortable, loved, and excited when they see them, which honestly says more than anything I could write. Having peace of mind knowing my babies are safe and genuinely cared for means everything to me. I'm incredibly grateful for T&F and truly could not recommend them more.

My daughters loves all of the different play equipment, from your traditional slides and swings to the zip lines and sports (there was a group of guys playing handball and they'd never seen it before but enjoyed watching). The biggest issue we had was that there wasn't a bathroom anywhere, so we had to make another stop before getting back on the road. It was a nice spot otherwise, tucked behind a quiet neighborhood.

There are lots of mature trees for shade as well as plenty of open grass (though it's very hilly). The park has sand, jungle gyms for kids of various sizes, a handball court, a basketball court, benches and tables. My favorite part of the park is the zip lines that can totally be used by the average adult too . What I don't like: * It's right next to a freeway which gives me concerns about air quality. * I don't think that there's a bathroom (I wasn't looking for one, so there may be one but I didn't see it.) * There's a bridge to go from one side to the other. However if you have someone in a wheel chair there's a post that would keep them from being able to get through. * Parking can be a bit scarce. It's tucked in the middle of a neighborhood. So there isn't a parking lot or anything like that. Another thing of note, we have visited this park twice. The first time we visited people were friendly enough. This last time, I got some weird vibes from the people who were there. No one really said hello. Then my son was playing on the playground while I changed my daughter nearby and some kids came over. When we left, my son told me that the kids didn't want to play with him and threw some sand at him. Unfortunately he told me as we were leaving or I would've addressed the issue with the mothers. I get that kids will be kids and I know how to talk to my son about not taking things like this personally. But I think it's important to add as one of the big parts of bringing your child to the park is getting social interaction. Of course this will totally depend on who's there, so YMMV. No
