My dog and I both loved Bone-A-Fide. The ranch requires a Saturday visit before boarding any dog to make sure that the dogs are comfortable in free-running environment, and to show the owners around the ranch. After just a quick Saturday visit, when I brought my dog back to board they remembered him by name. The staff genuinely seems to care about each dog there, and the dogs have a lot of fun playing together and running around all day. The ranch has several different yard areas, including one for smaller dogs if they're uncomfortable out with the big dogs.
I appreciated that they're so open about letting owners see the entire facility and that they play with the dogs all day long. My dog came home exhuasted from a 3 day weekend, and I didn't worry about him at all while he was there.
