Fun Fact: The home of Doggie Dude Ranch is also the home of Bob and Julie Holland and Holland Wildflower Farm since 1986
We opened Ernie Boudreaux’s Doggie Dude Ranch in 2007 with the idea of a "free-play" kennel-free boarding facility in a safe rural setting, introducing a new kind of dog-focused care. Our philosophy is that dogs that are socialized with other dogs and humans can be more adaptable in a variety of environments and settings.

“ We have been using Doggie Dude Ranch for years now, and we wouldn't send our dog anywhere else. Julie and the staff are like part of our family, now, and treat our dog like he is a part of theirs. They're extremely easy to work with, great with communication, and take the best care of the animals. The property is beautiful, and the dogs get plenty of open air time as well as daily walks around the property. While they're located a bit off the beaten path, they're able to facilitate in-town pickups for your convenience. The Doggie Dude Ranch is a true hidden gem in NWA. ”
“ Every year, for more than 10 years, we've sent our dog to the Dude Ranch for Dogcation while we travel extensively. Our big girls have always thrived at the Ranch, and love Julie and her team. We would never consider sending our dog anywhere else but the Dude Ranch. ”
“ Ms. Julie and her team take excellent care of my dogs every time they are boarded at the Doggie Dude Ranch!! They know when we are arriving and get excited, and always come home happy and exhausted. They are allowed to run around and play all day, are taken on walks and get lots of attention. It’s such a relief to know they are being well taken care of when we are on vacation! ”
“ The Doggie Dude Ranch makes boarding easy. I’m so happy we found a place that is a safe, loving and fun place for our dog when we are away. Staff is top notch. ”
“ Puppy "Field" Trip: Today we took the pups to one of our favorite local spots. For those who don't know, Ernie Boudreaux's Doggie Dude Ranch in Elkins Arkansas is a magical happy place that makes dogs of all ages feel brand new again! We're so thankful for Bob and Julie and their endless contributions that make our wonderful Northwest Arkansas community such a great place to live!!! ”
“ Our puppy seemed to love getting to run around and play and get all his puppy energy out! He will definitely be back there!! Friendly and helpful staff. ”
“ Jake loves dog camp. I don't have to worry that he will be sitting on a cold, small kennel floor encased in wire while I'm gone. ”
“ We have been sending our dog to the Doggie Dude Ranch for over 10 years and cannot imagine using another option! It's one of the primary places in our dog's life. The access to outdoor space and care our dog receives is unparalleled. Julie and the staff have always been great to work. We're looking forward to many more visits in the future. ”
