I have found Elkhound Ranch Kennels to be so friendly. When I first contacted them they were able to answer all of my questions, they were patient and they demonstrated "their" skills to me. They are very patient with my dog even to the point of being sweet! They made sure you knew what they were doing. They have a terrific followup for training and doggy daycare. They notice the little things about your dog, and they ask you questions and seek answers to better care for them. I have used them for training and for kenneling and my experience with both has been outstanding! They are very attentive and wonderful to deal with. I have never had a single complaint about the care my dog receives. I am perfectly happy to take him and leave him and most importantly my dog is happy to go!
