    After trying several groomers in Santa Barbara, we realized we were going to be on the hunt for a while. Luckily, I turned to Yelp and Dandy Dogs was highly rated and for good reason. Jeremy has experience with Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers while many groomers do not, and often defer to giving our precious Lola a golden doodle trim. Jeremy's traditional Wheaten cut was exactly what we were looking for: the preciseness, care, and thoughtfulness is exactly what we were looking for in our go-to groomer. We found the right place! Please support this small business that performs high quality grooming services. And Jeremy could not be more professional, nicer and more accommodating. Overall, a 10/10 experience. PS - our Lola is typically afraid to be dropped off at the groomers but this was the very first time she ran inside and was hopping around, no barking. It was a good sign and for good reason. See photos of her Wheaten Terrier haircut that looked a lot better in person! It's hard for her to stand still for the camera...

    I took my husky baby, Soba, to Dandy Dogs and had such a great experience. Jeremy was incredibly kind and professional, he did a fantastic job getting out all her mats and helping her deshed her winter coat. She was definitely blowing her coat and in need of some extra TLC, and he delivered exactly that. I'll absolutely keep bringing her here, and I'm already recommending him to my sister and my boyfriend. Thank you so much, Jeremy!

    Jeremy is super accommodating towards our senior dog. It's great that the dogs get to roam outside while waiting for their turn.

I cannot begin to explain the amount of relief from anxiety training my dogs with Ricky has brought me. No amount of therapy could touch how I felt previously. I have learned patience, clear communication (with my dogs), and appreciation of the minds ability to change after years and years of ingrained unwanted behaviors. Ricky does not sell a one size fits all package - each of my dogs are VERY different, and while the fundamental approaches and concepts in training are the same - the method and timing in which we applied and reinforced these were vastly different. Ricky is able to connect with two leggers and four leggers alike - he gives clear feedback to dogs and human and uses metaphors that we humans understand (driving the speed limit and getting speeding tickets haha) on how the concepts of his approach effects dog behavior. I couldn't be happier. I am humble and I know I need to continue management (and one of my dogs I am holding to higher standard so we are going to continue our own sessions based on what I have learned) but my dogs are completely different. I'm getting complimented by family, friends, and people on walks - impressed with how well behaved my dogs are. I smile and tell them "thank you it's lots of continued hard work" and move along. This morning in particular we walked during trash pick up, had lots of people distractions, and both dogs stayed heeled and attentive to me on their separate walks. Do not hesitate to consider Ricky for your training needs. Also, if you feel alone with your dogs behavior - please know you are anything but alone. The fact you are looking at reviews for dog trainers is a clear indicator that you want the best for your dog and intend to give them them best. :)

After a Rover appointment canceled our Thanksgiving arrangements, we contacted Ruff Ranch in desperation. Ruff Ranch is located off the 154 just before Los Olivos. It's in a beautiful, ranch setting. While we needed to have a free trial stay first, we took half the day off on a Friday, dropped Bruce off and had a nice lunch in Solvang. The facilities are spacious and perfectly clean with zero odor. All the personnel were happy and friendly, as were the dogs. We were skeptical at first when they said they would put Bruce in a group with older, mellower dogs. When we returned, they said he did great and even made some friends. My wife and I were both shocked and pleased. Ruff Ranch was on our way to a Northern California Thanksgiving stay. He boarded for 3 nights and we included the pre-pickup bath. At pickup, he was happy, squeaky clean, nails trimmed with zero issues reported. We are thankful and relieved to have a place to board Bruce in the future with people that really know and love dogs - and it showed in our dog's demeanor at pickup. They also offer obedience training, which I believe is how they can so quickly tailor an optimal setting and experience for your dog, and get them adjusted and safe. Ruff Ranch even offers a shuttle pickup service from SB. We are very relieved that we have a reliable and comfortable boarding solution for our dog in the future; I can't recommend The Ruff Ranch enough.

We felt they took great care of our dog and we will be booking them again when we visit this area!

    At first we were super stoked to find this ranch, where our dog could run and play with others. We…read morerescued our bull terrier mix last November from the local SB shelter. We set up a play date knowing we were unsure how he would do (not really knowing his history or past experiences). We visited the ranch on a few play dates before we decided to leave him there while we traveled for a week on vacation. The day play dates were perfect for our rescue dog. He'd come home tired and exhausted, not to mention well exercised. He was always excited to go back. We did learn, after our first play date- that he cannot be run with other dogs- as he gets too excited and starts to push his weight around, causing some annoyances for other dogs. That being said- the ranch was willing to work with him and stated they wouldn't run him in a group setting, yet instead run him in a horse pin up the road. We were stoked they were willing to make the extra effort and work with him. So the time came for us to leave him for a week while we traveled on vacation. We were out of cell range for the week, but had left phone numbers where we could be reached on a landline phone. Not once did we receive a phone call. The night before our return, we were able to find cell service and texted the ranch about what time we were planning on picking up our dog. At that time they stated he had been in a little scuffle, but it was nothing big, not to worry, and asked if we wanted them to bathe him (an extra $25), to which we said no. The next afternoon, we arrived at the ranch to find our poor pooch pretty scraped up. They had just finished running him so he was exhausted. We gathered his food and felt like they were rushing us out- stating they had other dogs to run. So we got in the car and headed home. It wasn't until we arrived home and bathed him that we saw the extent of his injuries. He had 2 big scrapes on his ear, 5 good sized scrapes across his forehead, 2 deep cuts on his nose, 2 puncture wounds in his neck, and all his paws were bloodied and his nails has been pulled away from his pads. Not only were his wounds much worse than we expected- but they were full of dirt and grime. I felt like they didn't even bother to clean him up after he sustained these wounds. When we asked about what went down while we were gone, the owner kept changing her story, that he was actually in 2 fights, and that he went after one of her ranch dogs (that he yanked the leash out of her hand and attacked her dog). Yet- at pick up, nothing was said about any other dog being injured, yet they made it very clear- that had our dog injured another dog- that we would be responsible for any vet bills. Yet here our dog was totally battered and scarred and not once did they offer to pay for his vet bills. Nor did they bother to tend to his wounds. It has now been 3 weeks since we picked up our dog from Sam's Doggy Dude Ranch, and he still doesn't have any hair on his scrapes, one of his puncture wounds on his neck is still healing, and I'm pretty sure his black nose will be scarred forever with 2 nice pink stripes from the cuts his sustained. His feet, pads and nails have healed nicely, as we soaked them in epson salts twice daily followed by using paw conditioning cream. They totally over-ran him up there EVERY SINGLE DAY! We had stated at drop off he didn't need to be run every day, as he's used to neighborhood walks and bike rides. Overall I feel the ranch was negligent in watching our dog. Any owner would be disappointed if they arrived to pick up their dog and saw him in this poor condition. I would have only given them one star, but I settled on 2 since the single day play dates seemed to work well for us. The ranch was willing to work with him, knowing he was a rescue and we didn't know his history. The staff at the ranch seemed nice and caring, so perhaps this incident was just a mishap. They did rip up our check, and didn't charge us for his week long stay, but I still feel they should have taken better care of our dog. Would I recommend this place to my friends? No. Would we ever return to Sam's Doggy Dude Ranch? No. And we're super sad about it too, because in the beginning we thought we had hit the jack pot.

    AMAZING!!! Susie and Sam's Doggy Dude Ranch have been a life saver for us!…read more We bought a home in the Santa Barbara area and immediately after moving in, we found true love when we adopted a BEAUTIFUL shepherd from the County Animal Shelter. Our new dog was young, beautiful, athletic and a complete handful! When I say "handful" I mean really energetic and never able to be worn out! You really can't help who you fall in love with when you go to a shelter and for me, it was love at first sight! When we took our new (big) baby home; I promised to give her the best life ever! Yet... we had no farm... no sheep to herd... To compensate for lack of a big property and our dogs need for major exercise, we got our dog into extensive training courses with professional trainers and she learned the basics. After basic training we then began looking for dog 'activities' and fun for our NEVER ABLE TO BE EXHAUSTED doggy! That's how we came across the dude ranch! Simultaneously to adopting our dog, we started a major exterior remodel of our home that included days, weeks, MONTHS of workers going in and out of our home and also having numerous months with little or no backyard or fencing at all. Even though our yard is an ok size to have a dog, we had NO yard for her on an ongoing basis for weeks at a time and, with a dog that can easily run 35 miles per hour and run long distances... this just made our dog go nuts from pent up energy! We needed a place to take her occasionally and, that's how we began utilizing Sam's Doggy Dude Ranch regularly after finding other doggy 'camps' to be way too small or too impacted with dogs for our performance athlete! At Sam's Doggy Dude Ranch our dog had a HUGE, fully fenced enclosure where she could run and play and BE A DOG all day long!!! That was really key for me... the ranch gave my dog the "working dog ranch experience" that I wanted her to have despite our lack of a home with a ranch sized lot! This is a REAL working ranch so, that is what your dog will get here. Our dog is very SPOILED at home but, her true and instinctual dog-needs were to be outside and run at top speed, bark, jump and play! The first time I went to meet with Susie for a planned tour of her ranch, I just fell in love with the ranch property and Susie. Riding around on Susie's ATV with all the dogs was the best part of my day and a welcomed break from the office. Susie is friendly, fun and loves dogs so, I immediately felt comfortable with her and leaving my dog in her care. Susie and Sam's Doggy Dude ranch has been instrumental in 1) wearing out our dog that is filled with never ending energy 2) helping our dog making new dog friends and 3) helping us remodel our home, on an ongoing basis by providing play-day services for our dog. I have taken our dog to Sam's countless times and, it has by far, been the best money we have EVER spent on our dog. She always comes home exhausted and with a big smile!
