We took Ralph our Appenzeller to Jane when he was under a year. Jane taught my 8-year-old son Charles how to train Ralph. That was 7 years ago. Ralph goes on Canine Camp every week and loves it. I would not take my dog to anyone else, as I know Jane loves my dog like her own.

Jane trained us and our dog when he was 3 months old. He is now 7-years old and looks forward to spending days and nights with Jane and her crew. He has stayed for as much as a month at her Ranch when we have been in Europe and has always been well taken care of. We feel fortunate to have found Jane those many years ago. She has our highest & unqualified recommendation.

Move to San Cristobal

We have moved to 38 acres in San Cristobal valley. The dogs love hiking along the creek and swimming in the ponds; canine camp is thrilling. The horses happily graze on rich pastures and contentedly retreat to their spacious stables.

Jane recalls, I had a dream when I was young that all the animals talked to me, they were my family, and that I would be able to tell people what the animals needed and to help them, for they cannot speak our language, so we must learn to speak theirs.

Her vision has always been to have a sanctuary for the wildlife that is constantly under threat from human activity and to invite people to come and learn, especially young people. The Complete Pet Ranch is the realization of the dream and a result of many years hard work. The intent is to help owners understand their animals through compassion and patience and to have a little fun!
