We have been bringing our dog here since he was 3 months old and we absolutely could not say enough about how wonderful wagontail is. When he was a puppy, they were great about slowly socializing our dog Gatsby. Now that he is a year old, he is so excited when he goes to Wagontail. It's obvious he has such a good time and it makes us feel comfortable when leaving him. We use both their day care and boarding services. When we board him, we know he is having his own vacation which makes us feel less guilty about leaving him. Judi and team treat all the dogs like their own family. We bring his bed and he sleeps in that when boarded. They always send you photos of your dog during the day which is something my husband and I really look forward to when he is there. Could not recommend them enough!

Clearly I am not the only person that thinks this place is outstanding. The staff are warm and loving, the facility is clean and well maintained. There is ample room for the dogs to run and play.

My dog LOVES going here and if I don't take him for a couple days he becomes depressed :(

Wagon Tails is the best treat I can give my dog.

I am a new dog owner, never grew up with a pet and now am trying to figure out how to be the best owner to my sweet little rescue puppy Kobi. Wagon Tail Ranch became a safe and trusted place for me to leave Kobi in doggy day care for the one day that I work as well as knowing that I can comfortably board him overnight if I plan on being away from home for too many hours. Even more, Judi and her wonderful staff have been helping me to socialize my puppy and try to help him become less timid. They take the time to gain his trust and work with him through these issues. The facility is doggy heaven with a large yard that the dogs can easily access. There is a separate fenced in area within the yard that separates the smaller dogs from the bigger and often more rambunctious dogs. There is an area inside the house as well where the smaller dogs have free reign to run and play with each other. Additionally, they run their business very well with excellent communication and clear info about their policies and pricing. I just read in a prior review that there is now a long wait list to get your dog into their facility. I feel lucky to already be a customer and I would encourage anyone who loves their dog to stay in touch with Judi and be patient because it will be worth the wait.

Wagon Tail Ranch has become the greatest service we have ever found. It is incredibly hard to find a pet service that you trust, we have dealt with some bad apples in the past, who charge ridiculous high prices for the least amount of care possible. Judi and her staff are absolutely incredible. They are so knowledgeable and have such a passion for what they do. Whenever we leave our dog Auggie the staff sends us pictures showing us how much fun he is having. I will forever rely on Wagon Tail Ranch to take care of our furry family member. They are wonderful, and have changed our life, knowing we can travel without feeling guilty fir leaving Auggie behind. I know that Wagon Tail Ranch is like a vacation for him! Thank you to Judi and staff!

What can I say about Wagon Tails Ranch that hasn't already been said by other reviewers? I had a bad experience with another boarding place and came to Wagon Tails after looking at the yelp reviews. I'm glad I did, I emailed Judi and quickly got a response. I took my puppy for the temperament assessment test and she passed. I take her here every Saturday so that she could get used to the environment and have some socialization. I like how Judi response quickly to e-mails and how they send you pictures/updates on how your dog is doing. My puppy is always tired and I have to pull her away from the place so that I can take her home. Even though it's a little far from me, I will keep going there because she has so much fun. Highly Recommended!

I highly recommend Wagon Tail Ranch Doggie day Camp & Bed n'Bones! I found Wagon Tail Ranch by doing a google search over 4 years ago. I consider them my dogs other family. I took a job in woodland Hills and found an apartment around the corner. I was going home on my lunch break and walking my dog. The apartment building is new and has had a few hick-ups. The fire alarm kept going off all of the time. I tried getting recommendations from my coworkers for kennels and daycares for dogs. I had a co-worker who was taking his dog to a kennel that walked the dogs around 3 times a day but otherwise they sat in a cage all day. I felt to sorry for his dog. I did a bunch of interviews with several day cares/Kennels and loved the way the dogs had the freedom to be dogs at Wagon Tail with no leashes. They have the freedom to run, dig, and sleep until they choose to. I trust them to take care of my dog and to treat him like I want him to be treated. I worship my dog and treat him like a little human being and they do the same. My dog is currently 18 years old (Schipperke/Chihuahua mix) and still acts like a young dog. His health is excellent. He actually seems to get healthier with age if that is possible? I think most of that comes from having a life/purpose. He goes to Wagon Tail Ranch 5 days a week. Going to Wagon Tail Ranch is his job, school, and friends that he hangs out with. They keep him young and healthy. He can't wait to get out of the car every morning and he falls sleep in my arms at the end of the day when I pick him up. He has been going to Wagon Tail ranch for over 4 years. I also take him there when I go on vacation. Great place to take your dogs! They really love animals here and treat your dog like their own. I highly recommend this place for any picky pet owner. In my next life I would like to come back as my dog and hopefully I could to go to wagon Tail Ranch. If you ever end up there for a visit, ask about my little guy, his name is Romeo and he goes by LR there.

Home away from home for our puppy. I have gone to visit 5 dog day care / boarding facilities from Santa Monica to Topanga, Woodland Hills. We needed to board Kiki, our 5 month old female english shepherd (herder like a border collie) for the first time for 10 days. Kiki was anxious during the temperament test, and I was worried that she wouldn't pass Judi's standards. Judi recommended that I bring her back for a day play date the next day so she could see her behavior when I am not around. Thank goodness with Judi's expertise, love and care, Kiki felt comfortable the next day to relax a little and have fun! I brought her back every day for 5 days before the trip so that she could get totally used to her home away from home before we left her for 10 days. I will attach a photo of Kiki walking on to Judi's property for the first time looking concerned, and a contrasting picture of Kiki today (4 days later) having a blast with her new friends! In addition to the professional staff and care Kiki is treated to at Wagon Tail Ranch, the grounds and facility is a giant ranch home, so the dogs totally feel like they are at home, and not in some concrete building with cubicles. They sleep in the house on sofas and some of the needier dogs even sleep in bed with Judi! I am so grateful for Judi and her staff, and intend to begin taking my other 2 dogs there as well!

I have nothing but positive things to say about Judi & Tim and the entire Wagon Tail Ranch team! Our Lucy absolutely loves her time there. Nothing beats the peace of mind of knowing your cherished dog is in good hands when you are away, and whenever we drop her off at Wagon Tail we know she will have a fantastic time and be as well cared for as though she was home with us.

Judi & Tim are special people, in that this is more than a business for them. They truly and sincerely love the dogs that come into their care. We love to get pictures of Lucy's days at Wagon Tail - in every single shot we can see that she's having a great time. They have a large property, and our dog loves running and playing with the new friends she makes at every visit. We like knowing that Judi & Tim screen the dogs to ensure no aggressive dogs will be present. We also like knowing that Lucy isn't just stuck in a kennel with periodic visits out - unlike other boarding options, at Wagon Tail, Lucy gets to just be a dog and enjoy nature. Wagon Tail Ranch - thank you for taking SUCH good care of Lucy this weekend! We know she is looking forward to her next stay with you.

We are so glad we found this amazing place. Judi, Tim and the whole team at Wagon Tail are great. Boomer starts crying as soon as I turn down the street and literally drags me to the door to get in. Knowing he enjoys going here and he is welcomed here makes us feel better about leaving him.

Of course we want him to go every with us, but as most of you know that is not possible. We take comfort knowing he is in good hands.

Boomer comes home exhausted from all his fun time!

Thanks again everyone at Wagon Tail

When we had to leave our gentle beloved 13 year old Labrador for the first time, without our relatives able to care for him as usual, I was very very anxious. I visited numerous other dog boarding facilities which left me feeling increasingly anxious. Either they were smaller cement enclosures were he would be lonely and increasingly stiff with his mild arthritis or they were crowded with rather hyperactive barking dogs running aimlessly in indoor warehouse type facilities, or a combination of both. Disappointed, I almost canceled my trip to my daughter's college graduation until I pulled into the beautiful setting of Wagon Tail Ranch. The environment was both serene, natural, loving, and still extremely clean, organized and well staffed. Our dog felt instantly at home because he was in the same environment as he was with us at our home. Dogs are able to go where they want in the very spacious secure grassy backyard (complete with trees and misters) or wander into the home where they enjoy the kitchen and family room. All the dogs at Wagon Tail Ranch are so happy and peaceful that my dog blended right in the moment he came for his evaluation. Most important, the owners, Judi and Tim and their staff are so warm and friendly and true dog lovers who absolutely love your dog. They will kiss and hug your dog (other places had the audacity to charge extra for such attention!) and do whatever it takes to make your dog feel loved and comfortable. They are wonderful professionals as well. They will treat you respectfully and answer your questions thoroughly. Emails and phone calls are responded to immediately and many pictures of our dog were sent to us (unrequested!) to further give us peace of mind. We are thrilled and relieved to have found Wagon Tail Ranch and highly recommend them. Judi and Tim and the staff really do feel just like family to us and clearly our dog feels the same. We'll be back!
