The Range Pet Lodge Reviews

Deb and her team are amazing!!! They truly care about your dog's well being and that is evident in everything they do. Very clean facility, kind staff and welcoming! Within 1 training session, the wild ball of energy we picked up from animal control could actually respond to a command. After a 2 week daily training, we have moved from calling our new addition "Lucifer" to her actual name "Molly". Molly, myself, my husband, and our other dog Sadie are eternally grateful! Thank you!

Benji just graduated from the puppy head start program. A 2-weeks Monday-Friday program. Benji is an Australian Shepard with a lot of energy and strong puppy behavior. It's been an important 2 weeks for my family with 2 kids to learn to communicate with our furry boy. Debra Cole was clear in her instructions to our family on practice for good puppy behavior. We will continue to interact with the Range Pet Lodge for our puppy and dog needs. Most importantly, Benji loves everyone there and looks forward to going to the Pet Lodge.

We took our 1 year old cocker spaniel for boarding for a week & they took such great care of him! In October 2023 we sent him for training with Deb Cole. She does such a wonderful job. Our dog Neville LOVED going to see Deb everyday! We went in for help with recall & “drop it” and she provided that specific training & more. We got to have 1:1 lessons with her & Neville to understand the cues we should use. Nothing fazes her & she took meticulous notes on our wants & Neville’s needs. She helped us build our confidence as well as our dog’s confidence! She is calm, patient but doesn’t let any dog walk all over her. I can’t recommend Deb enough. We will be back in the future!

Our journey with The Range began when we adopted a 12-week-old rescue Beagle we named Spencer. Spencer was living in an environment with very little human contact. He needed to improve his manners and needed confidence and social skills. We enrolled him in classes for Puppy Training with Deb Cole. She worked miracles with him. Spencer idolized her and followed her every command. Upon graduation, both Spencer and his parents were ready to move forward. Step two included confidence building and honing his social skills. The Day Care at The Range has helped Spencer improve his social skills. The caring and loving environment at The Range is best exemplified by Spencer’s attitude – he is so excited when we enter the parking lot, he can hardly wait to get out of the car. We feel comfortable leaving Spencer there knowing he will be well cared for and safe.

We are huge fans of The Range daycare. We have been taking Finley to daycare for more than 2 years, and we couldn’t be more confident in the care he receives. He is so happy to run in every time, and the employees are just the best, calling him by name and giving him lots of love. Five stars and a “highly recommend” from us!!

Our 11 month old chocolate lab recently completed the Life Skills training program. Debra was knowledgeable and patient with our high-energy pup! She tailored the training to meet the needs of our puppy. We found the training sessions with Debra and our pup helpful and informative. Thank you, Debra!

All the staff at the Range are so friendly and helpful! Appreciate being able to get my work done while knowing that my little gal is having such a great time without me at daycare. She's needed some special attention this year and Erica provided it. Deb is great. My thanks also to Kim, Mary, Katie, Haley, Vanessa and "cookie lady", and anyone else who has helped me this year. The photos are wonderful and very much enjoyed. The Range Pet Lodge is a wonderful place to take your dog for day care! My dog loves going there, and is so excited when she gets there that she just runs up their stairs. All of the staff are professional and helpful and give her the attention she needs. I've known Deb for several years and she is fantastic. Love receiving photos so I can see my little Frenchie enjoying herself.

My favorite place to board my dog.Great service and location.

We bring our Pomsky for play days and he just finished a weeklong "Life Skills" training course with Debra. We found this location (it's not easy to get to) thru referrals from our friends. The place is always very clean and staff are great. Our dog's trainer, Debra, was wonderful. She really helped our little guy with some nice touch-up to our training. Highly recommended.

My dog, Zeke, completed 5 days of training with Debra Cole Last week. Zeke is a 2.5 year old rescued French Bulldog that we don’t know a lot about. His jumping behavior is unlike anything I’ve ever seen in 30 years of owning dogs!! Debra spent 5 days teaching him “Life Skills”. His jumping has definitely improved and he is doing much better . I loved the fact that we had a lesson 3x/week to review and learn to implement her techniques. The written materials are great for training at home. She shared a lot of great ideas with us that we found to be very helpful. She was excellent and very kind and patient with Zeke. It was well worth the money and a great experience.. I look forward to doing “tuneups” with her in the future. Zeke and I were sad when the week was over but we are practicing at home!!!

The Range Pet Lodge's Board and Train program was just what we needed for our sweet Ripley. I always think it's a great measure to see how your dog reacts when they return to a place they've visited for training, boarding, or play, and when we returned with Ripley for a review of her new training skills, she was so happy to see Debbie and the team again! We'd adopted Ripley as a young dog, and although we'd trained her for a few things, we just didn't have the skills or knowledge to give her the confidence or skills she really needed. So we opted for the Board and Train program when we went on a vacation. It worked out so well. We brought Ripley in for a playtime evaluation and to see how she did with the team about a week before we went on vacation, and she did great. While we were there, I met some of the team, and got a quick tour to see where Ripley would be staying for her board. When we went on our vacation, I got text updates with pics and video on Ripley's progress with the training. And once we returned, she had learned so much! The biggest impact in my opinion is how she walks so much better on a leash. Not only had Debbie worked with her to respond better, but she also spent time with us when we came to pick her up, reviewing the commands and how to correct. Overall, would absolutely recommend The Range for any training, daycare, and/or boarding needs. The staff and team and wonderful with the animals and attentive to our needs as pet parents, the facilities are clean and robust, and our dog had a great time!

Pleasant and attentive staff.

Our lab, Mabel, graduated yesterday from her Puppy Head Start training program at The Range Pet Lodge. What a difference this training has made! If you have a puppy that is miserable to walk on a leash or if you’re getting “warnings” about impulse control at doggy daycare, then Debbie and her team can help. We were struggling to know how to correct some of Mabel’s bad behaviors. Mabel and our family learned so much after each training session. She now knows basic commands (sit, stay, down, wait, drop it, leave it, etc.), and she also knows to watch us. We now feel like we have control of her both in our house and on walks. We’ve received compliments from neighbors who saw us on walks with her before and after. She looks like a different dog, and I no longer dread taking her for a walk! Thank you to Debbie, Taylor and all the staff that worked with Mabel. She loved her time with you, and we’re impressed with the results.

The staff was great. My dog felt like it was home. Thank you

Debra and Kristen came highly recommended and did not disappoint. Great 1 week all-day training for our sassy 14 month old lab. She learned a lot and so did I!
