Crawford, Colorado · 322 Acres
First-class boarding on a family-owned ranch where every dog receives personal attention, daily exercise, and the care of a professional trainer.
Cottonwood Ranch and Kennel is a dog training and boarding facility settled on an expansive family-owned ranch on the Western Slope of Colorado. The kennels are located close to the family's residence, ensuring constant close monitoring of every dog in our care.
Ted Hoff is the owner of the kennels and lives on the ranch. As a professional dog trainer, Ted prides himself on the close personal relationship he builds with every boarding guest. Even dogs that are here purely for boarding get to walk and play with a professional trainer every day.
Cottonwood Kennels has two buildings housing 25 indoor/outdoor kennels. Each kennel run is five by twenty feet — designed to stay cool in the summer months and heated during the winter. Our kennel design prioritizes cleanliness and a healthy environment for every dog.
Exercise and purposeful play are part of the daily routine. The 322-acre ranch provides expansive yards, wildlife habitat, and several ponds — a setting unlike any traditional boarding kennel.
Appointments with Ted are available for one-on-one training sessions and special circumstances. We are closed Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, and New Year's Day.
Label all personal items before drop-off. Your dog's camp list:
Your dog's own food is encouraged to maintain dietary consistency. If your dog is on a special diet, please provide their personal food. Any other sundries are welcome but not required.
We treat every dog individually — whether for exercise needs, dietary requirements, or special medications. If your dog requires supplements or medications, bring them in a sealed container clearly labeled with your dog's name and dosage.
