Tucson Adventure Dog Ranch - The Dog Boarding Alternative

We invite you to schedule a visit to our dog ranch:

Bring your dog along to meet us and some of our boarding dogs, who come in all sizes. If you have travel plans, please consider setting up your visit well ahead of time so that we can be sure to schedule a convenient time for you prior to your trip.

An initial phone conversation will allow us to learn about your dog and his or her social history, temperament, and personality. If your dog has boarded at dog boarding services that offer social interaction with other dogs , such as dog daycare / boarding facilities, then that is a good indicator that your dog will do well in our social setting too.

Our home-style, dog boarding provides unique and highly personalized care that is not offered at traditional Tucson dog boarding kennels and pet boarding services, or Tucson dog daycare facilities. Our boarding dogs enjoy human and canine company, and activities that provide mental and physical stimulation to promote a healthy mind and body for your dog! In between doggie outings and activities and at night our canine guests share our home with us.

Some of our pack members!

Our Daily Routine:

After breakfast, we begin our day with playtime for the dogs in the agility play ground. Then, we head out for our supervised morning hike, on our four acres fenced hiking trails, that include a mess barrier discouraging unwelcomed wildlife.

Hikes are approximately 10 to 20 minute intervals, with water breaks in between and some fun in our agility playground. Our agility playground includes barrel tunnels, and ramp platforms (pictured in our photo galleries). Many dogs take to the agility activities quite naturally, and we use positive reward techniques to encourage all the dogs to participate!

After hiking, we take a break before beginning our pool party! In hotter months we spend more time at the pool, and in the cooler months we spend more time playing in the agility yard and hiking.

Pool play time always includes a fun ball game! Dogs who like to swim have fun in the pool, and non-swimmers enjoy playing around the pool with the other dogs, as well as the ball game! Our pool area includes a large shaded veranda with multiple ceiling fans, which keeps the dogs comfortable year round, as well as comfortable dog cots.

All of our daily dog activities are well supervised.

We conclude our fun day with a sunset hike and then a relaxing evening in our home. We have plenty of clean comfortable dog beds for our dog boarding guests.

Our daily routine provides supervised and structured activities, and promotes the building of important social skills that are beneficial to a dog's mental well being.

We provide our service year round and tailor our activities accordingly. During the summer months, we ensure that all the dogs stay comfortable with plenty of water and shade, and access to our air-conditioned home. We take great pride in providing personalized dog care, so our clients can travel with peace of mind that their dogs are safe, well cared for, and having a fun dog vacation!

Evenings at our Tucson dog boarding ranch are always relaxing after a fun day of dog play!

Boarding and Vaccine Requirements

Social Temperament / Neuter - Spay

Our boarding dogs are assessed for social ability with other dogs, as well as people.

To succeed at the Ranch, most dogs will need to have recently done well, at a traditional doggie daycare or dog park, so that they understand appropriate doggie behavior. All Ranch guest must do well, and enjoy being around other dogs of all different sizes, and be non-reactive.

Every dog has his or her own unique personality. Some dogs are more outgoing, and some are more shy in nature. Our homestyle, social environment, ample space, and structured activities, are ideal for dogs, who are well socialized with other dogs and people, to enjoy being part of a balanced and harmonious group. Dogs of all sizes can participate together in our supervised activities: Outings in our fenced hiking area, playing in the agility yard and by the pool, and swimming for those who are interested. All of our dog activities are well supervised.

All dogs need to be at least 10 months of age, neutered or spayed, entirely house trained, fully vaccinated and be able to independently sleep through the night. A puppy rate will apply for dogs under 12 months of age, and once in while up to 18 mos.
