This is my go to boarding for my pup. She has stayed here multiple times, as long as 2 weeks or as…read moreshort as 3 nights. The staff communicate well, and care for your pets. My pet had allergies that we thought was only food induced. It was because of the Dogwood Staff and careful monitoring/observation did we find my dog also allergic to fresh cut grass. It took us a few stays to find out, but the staff helped us figure out this mystery. After each stay, I opt in to my dog receiving a bath. She smells amazing after, better than the other grooming location I bring her to. I know four other pet parents who were also satisfied with their service and brings their pets here as well. The requirements for your pets is clear and easy to follow. Initially, I was worried about my pet due to hearing horror stories at other boarding locations. BUT DOGWOOD RANCH, I always feel reassured that my pet is at her own vacation with caretakers that care about her. If I can give more than 5 stars I would!

He stayed four extra weeks for training and came home potty trained with a very strong foundational training (sit, stay, come, heel). He is now 10 months old and about 85lbs of solid muscle. He's going to be a big boy! We have three small children and he's great with them and other dogs. We bring him to the park with the kids and he is so happy off leash running around and fetching!

What really stood out was the quality of training Olaf received before we even picked him up. After 2 weeks of puppy booster training, Olaf came home at 10 weeks old already mellow, essentially crate-trained, and an absolute perfect match for us as first-time dog owners. The care and attention that Stofer's Labs give to their puppies is clear, and it's made a huge difference in our transition to having a dog. If you're looking for a breeder who goes above and beyond, I highly recommend them!

We provided our own dog food and they were able to give Duke his pills twice a day. Both dogs were provided an orange name tag with the address and phone numbers of the business. This place gave us a lot of peace of mind to find a safe place so we can enjoy a vacation without worry. We hope to return and maintain a reliable relationship for our dogs. There's a lot of places to choose from. This place looked very similar to other dog boarding homes, the floor is worn from a lot of dogs and it's not sparkling clean. But those things don't matter as long as my dog is safe and happy when I get back from Vacation! Glad we found this place close to home.

Not only did Sky learn to follow a track, he learned to slow down and take direction from me. This has proven to be a VALUABLE lesson, as he now looks to me for a cue, instead of doing 'crazy dog.' Dave helped me communicate with Sky and that has carried with other through other training. That communication is the key, and Dave taught me so well!

I dropped off a blank slate and picked up a (slightly larger) puppy with more commands than I knew what to do with. The pickup session was clear, informative, and they patiently walked me through the pertinent things my pup had learned. I continued the sessions and have been going for the past year. Highly recommend at least 5 sessions after board + train so that you can get up to speed with all the things your dog has learned. If you do the homework and give it 5-10 minutes a day - it will change you and your dog's lives. Admittedly, there are still things my pup randomly seems to know that I later find out she learned in Board + Train as a 4 month old. Overall, this is the best place to send your pup. Responsive, punctual, extremely clean, and strangers will routinely tell you how well-behaved your dog is (if you do everything Rich tells you to do :)

They told me that he got out and they weren't responsible for him being lost. They are rude and admitted to not feeding their pets. My one dog was dehydrated and starving when I picked him up and the conditions are disgusting in the kennels. Animal control and the salinas shelter mentioned they have lost dogs before, the owners claimed at first that this has never happened and then changed their story and said they've lost dogs and they always come back. They lie and change their story, also are very harassing.
