    I was disappointed on my first boarding to Elkhound. My dogs were return to me unleashed in the front area. One of my dogs was missing their tag and I was not returned my dog food scoop. The staff member even said "yea, the dogs don't really like it here." , when I asked how was there 3 day, 2 night stay was.

    I took my Australian Shepherd in for a de-shed treatment. I dropped him off at 8am and he was finished around 3pm. He came out looking fabulous, all the extra hair and mats were gone, and he was clearly happy! Having an option for a service that is geared towards double coated dogs is wonderful - and they clearly know what they are doing! Thank you!

    I feel SO relieved to have a Special Safe place for my Reaction Dominant Sensitive dogs. To know that I can take a vacation and my dogs will be safe and not able to hurt anyone with their behavior issues. THE STAFF IS HELPFUL CONFIDENT and Supportive.

    I have experience with several dogs trained at Elkhound Ranch, they are all well behaved. I have a very high energy King Charles Cavalier who I was challenged with training despite having dogs all my life. I took Leo, my Cavalier, to Elkhound Ranch for training; the results were amazing! He is so well behaved: heels perfectly, will sit or lay down on command and stay until released. He stays in the place position until released. Leo does all this even with distractions like rabbits, squirrels, cars (which he use to chase), people and small children. I appreciate the customized training and care provided to Leo while he was staying at Elkhound Ranch. They are kind and accommodating. I received weekly videos of his progress. One of the best features of the training is that Bill, the trainer, spent a lot of time training me to help and continue to work with Leo. Because of my personalized training, I have been able to train Leo to recognize our property boundaries and stay within these boundaries. Elkhound Ranch is amazing!
