KEP Doggie Dude Ranch - Doggie Day Care

The Ranch Doggie Day Boarding

Fun, friendly, hands-on Day Boarding will......

Relieve boredom
Remedy destructive behavior
Ease separation anxiety
Improve socialization
Provide valuable exercise
Increase self-confidence
And perhaps best of all..........

After a fun day at the Ranch, your dog will be as dog-tired as you are and ready to spend a relaxing evening cuddling together on the couch!

At the KEP Doggie Dude Ranch, we specialize in hands-on, recreational style day boarding which results in engaging and enjoyable experiences for our guests. The Doggie Dude Ranch feels strongly that social interaction is a fundamental element in making the boarding experience a positive one for the dogs in our care.

Why do we feel social interaction is so important to a beneficial boarding experience? Our experience has taught us that dogs are social animals and well-balanced dogs enjoy the companionship of other dogs. When lodging with us, your dog will have the opportunity to socialize in our recreation area where we provide a variety of toys and games—including bubble-chasing, Frisbee, toss-and-retrieve, and Kong. Playtimes are offered every day—we permit the desire of your dog to determine how long his/her session will be. It is possible to schedule up to three sessions per day. When your dog returns from play-park, she/he will receive a snack and return to his/her suite for a period of quiet relaxation during the mid-afternoon.

Playmates are carefully selected based on temperament and play-style. First, our trained Staff get to know your dog in order to determine the appropriate playgroup or playmate. Dogs are initially introduced through fencing - then on leash. Once new dogs are comfortable, they are brought into supervised one-on-one playtimes with a friend or into an established playgroup.

Occasionally we encounter dogs that suffer anxiety at being in the presence of other dogs. It is the guiding philosophy of the Doggie Dude Ranch to encourage and promote calm, well-adjusted, and well-socialized dogs. Our years of experience has demonstrated that, if needed, we have the ability to match calm, gentle, well-adjusted long-time boarders with apprehensive dogs so that all may enjoy the fun diversions that make the Doggie Dude Ranch such a happy place to go on holiday!

Just as with our lodging service, appointments are required. We want to have a suite ready and give proper planning to our playgroups. For their safety, prior to the time of check-in, we will need to see a copy of each guest's veterinary vaccination record showing they are up to date on their Rabies, DHLP-P, and Canine Cough (Bordetella).
