What Reviews Say
63 reviews analyzedCanyon View Ranch is highly regarded for its 'Disneyland-like' facilities and effective board-and-train programs, with many long-term clients praising the visible improvements in their dogs' behavior. However, a significant cluster of negative reviews highlights serious operational lapses, including failure to report injuries, instances of severe respiratory illness, and unfulfilled refund promises. While the majority of dogs leave happy and well-trained, the facility faces criticism regarding its high price point relative to perceived lack of administrative accountability in crisis situations.
