Cottonwood Ranch And Kennel

Ted is the only guy I trust with my hounds. Whenever I travel, I bring my four hounds to Cottonwood Ranch and Kennel for boarding. Day to day I am the one who takes care of my beloved pups, When I travel, I must know that they are in the BEST care (like mom would give them) My hounds go crazy in the car when we drive up to the ranch, they are so excited to be there! I know Ted & his family love them like I do. Puppy camp at Ted’s means they get lots of exercise, big hugs and excellent care. Ted is a great trainer, some of my pups have been to the Ranch for that too. I have been bringing my dogs to the Ranch for many years now and it’s the only place I trust with my babies.

Our German Wire-Haired Pointers - Zita, Rosie and Tres - have loved Cottonwood Kennels over the past 30 years. It's like summer camp for dogs! All of our dogs have received training from Ted and frequent stays at the Kennel. The dogs are always happy and excited to be dropped off with Ted. My husband and I highly recommend Cottonwood Kennels for professional training and loving care.

Ted has been taking incredible care of my yellow lab for over 7 years and wouldn’t even consider boarding him somewhere else. My dog loves Ted and he takes great care of my dog. I feel totally comfortable leaving Fin with Ted for extended periods of time…up to 4 weeks! I boarded Fin after a major surgery and Ted took extra special care Fin and made sure he was comfortable and was a big help with his recovery. We all love our dogs and it’s comforting to know my dog is in good hands and makes vacations even that much more enjoyable. I highly recommend Cottonwood Ranch and Kennel to everyone I meet who has a dog.

Five stars for Cottonwood Ranch and Kennel. We have been sending our dog to Ted and Vanessa for more than 10 years (a few times a year, sometimes a month or longer at a time). We used to drive 2.5 hours from Telluride just to take our dog to Ted, knowing she would be receiving the best care and she would be truly happy running around the ranch with Ted while we traveled. The ranch is a beautiful property in Crawford and truly dog heaven (we couldn't fathom having our dog boarded in a crate inside somewhere). Ted conveniently picks up in Basalt (and our dog is always so excited to see him and jump in the van!) and he is always on time and responsive (and flexible if our travel dates change). Highly highly recommend!

We have been taking our dogs to Ted for over 10 years for both training and boarding. Ted's love for dogs is obvious! His training was incredible and the training we humans received after the dog received her training was also fantastic. My son enjoyed learning tips and tricks from Ted on how to be a better dog owner. We board our dog regularly and she always jumps out of the car excited to be on property. The kennels are clean and the dogs are well taken care of. On a one visit we had medication that needed to be given while we were away and they were given without any problems. Communicating with Ted is easy and friendly. Ted is a great photographer and sometimes we are surprised with a photo he has taken and sent to us while we were away. We really truly appreciate the great se
