Not enough positive adjectives can be shared in the way they cared and trained Zorro. Never have experienced this level of follow through and attention to detail.

Ranch Dog does such a great job with their board and train program. We always feel that our pup is getting personalized training and the daily photo and video report cards are so great when we are away. Can’t recommend them enough!

Highly recommend The Range for their board and train program. Our trainer is Joey and he is very patient with our dog and did a great job training our dog based on our requests. Seeing the progress from the videos /photos and report cards everyday is the best because we miss our dog so much. I was worried about him being sick due to the ongoing mysterious illness spreading around in the states but the staff took a good care of him and I can see he is happy there. I’m glad they also have yard time so our dog can socialize and play with other dogs in a supervised environment. Daniela, the front desk receptionist is also very helpful, maintain good communication throughout the training period. We would love to have our dog be back to the Ranch soon!

I sent my golden doodle, Otis, to the train and board program for two weeks. He is about 9 months old and was very rambunctious before bringing him to The Ranch. I picked him up a couple of days ago and I cannot believe the difference in his behavior. He is like a new dog! He no longer pulls on the leash, runs out of the door in front of me, or jumps on strangers. I’m so impressed with their work and grateful to have found them!

Our 6 month old puppy Sunny loves everyone at The Ranch! She’s had two training sessions so far, one private in-home and one daycare training, and we’ve seen significant improvements in her behavior both times. The tips they provide make it easy for us to continue reinforcing positive behaviors and it has made a huge difference for us. Definitely recommend!

I just sent my dog to The Ranch Dog Training for in-board training while I was away, and it was an AMAZING experience!! From the first phone call I knew I had found a great place to leave my dog. Sam, Steph, and all the trainers are highly skilled in dog training, I never thought my stubborn shih-tzu pup could ever learn to sit! They really tailored the training to my dogs needs.
We received a "Report-Card" everyday of our dog Douglas with pictures of him playing, videos of him being trained, a discription of how he did everyday and what they did in training. They also seemed to treat all the dogs like family, and they had clean and new facilities.
Would HIGHLY recommend!

If you’re in need a trainer look no further!!
Sam and Steph are amazing!! We were struggling to manage our cattle dog puppy. We were completely in over our heads. Our pup was running the show!!
We sent our fur baby to The Ranch for a two week board and train. He literally returned a different dog.
Sam and Steph gave him a strong foundation to build upon. Most importantly they gave us the proper tools to keep him on track. Thank you Ranch Dog Training. We are forever grateful.

My minpin Cathy had an excellent training session. Sam and Stephanie are very experienced and knowledgeable, they assessed Cathy’s character quickly. She learned key commands to help her focus and gain confidence. She learned quickly and I’m excited to help her implement what we learned.

So glad I found you guys! I literally moved to Encino, and had to book my pup for daycare the next day. The only place I saw that was open at 6am on Saturday. I’ve used your services twice now and have zero complaints! My pup always leaves happy and tired from all the play time. Absolutely recommend and will continue to use! Thank you so much.

My dog loves this place and I'm so pleased with the care and responsiveness of the staff as well as the ability for early drop off. My dog gets to play with other friends and lounge around in the sun and I get a little report card with a blurb and photos of her days adventures. I am so happy to feel as though my dog is in amazing care at The Ranch.

We took our Pit puppy to Sam specifically for some issues he has. And Sam is Amazing!!!! He got our guy to listen to him so fast! Full control in a kind way that promotes your dog to obey and builds his self esteem at the same time. Sam is great at teaching us dog parents how to be successful leaders to make your dog an enjoyable family member. Thank you Sam

Sam and Steph are extremely knowledgable and took all my concerns and put us right to work. They gave me all the right tools to be a better leader for my pup. They are patient and understanding of all your needs and concerns and you will leave feeling a lot more confident in your abilities to direct and guide your fur baby. Check them out!

Sam and his partner are amazing beyond words. In one week of training they helped my nine month old puppy turn around his behavior. They are kind thoughtful and use positive reinforcement in their training methods. Sam knows what he is doing and takes his job as a trainer very seriously. I continue to take Zander to daycare and training weekly. Zander loves the dog ranch whether visiting for training or playing with the pups in daycare. At the Ranch Dog Training, Daycare and Boarding facility I assure you that your dog will get top quality training and care at a great price. Plus, Sam offers transportation for just 15.00 one way. What a deal! I highly recommend!

We’re so thankful to have found The Ranch for our goofball 7mo supermutt! We’ve used them for daycare/boarding thus far and plan to get a training session on the books sooner than later. We get tons of updates with pictures, to assure us that he’s having more fun than we are. The social interactions he gets with other dogs/puppies are so valuable since he’s an only dog at home. I’m sure some of his better behavior is reinforced at The Ranch, Steph and Sam are great, we absolutely recommend them!!
