I can't say enough great things about Iron Will Dog Lodge and they deserve all the love and care they give our best friends! My dog Cinna absolutely adores it there—every time we turn onto the road leading to the lodge, he starts bouncing around with excitement, and it's clear he has the best time when I pick him up. I also appreciate the photos they send, which really help me feel connected and reassured while I'm away from my little guy. The trust I have in them to care for my dog is unmatched; I truly believe it's the best dog lodge in the state since Cinna has been to many! I 10/10 highly recommend!

This wonderful facility is where you want to board your dog. We have used numerous facilities in Colorado and California over the past twenty years. Iron Will Dog Lodge is the best. Our dogs return to us happy and healthy after every visit and the staff members are absolutely wonderful. Iron Will Dog Lodge has elevated the standards for what is means to be a superior dog boarding facility in Colorado.

Best ever for boarding! When Snickers arrives, we are but a faint memory as he CAN’T WAIT to play with his new bestie dog buddies! He comes back home, actually does remember us, and sleeps for a day because he’s so happily exhausted! Such a great and safe and caring place for our little buddy. His picture is even on their website in a full out run! Love this place! Thanks Iron Will Dog Lodge!

This is THE BEST place to take your dogs for short or extended stays! We take our Great Dane and Labrador Retriever to Iron Will on a regular basis for anywhere from 2-15 days at a time. They are always well cared for and happy as can be when we pick them up. To us, it's worth it. You can even have your dog(s) bathed and nails clipped before you pick them up. Terrific service and care!

The way the owner and staff ...interact with dogs is very balanced and calm, never fearful or excited. This allows our dogs to benefit from a calm energy, which is helpful behaviorally and they return to us with "good manners."

We've had a horrible experience at another local dog care facility, which resulted in an expensive surgery and weeks of follow-up care. We know a good dog care center when we see one and Iron Will is the most excellent choice!

Iron Will Dog Lodge does a wonderful job of caring for our dogs. The techs/workers do a fantastic job of watching and caring for our pups when we are away. We always have a great level of appreciation for the team knowing that our dogs are being taken care of and getting all the attention they need. We appreciate all the Iron Will staff! They do a great job!!!

Okay. My dog is laying here exhausted and he is a 1 yr old lab, that is not easy to do. He spent 4 days at Iron Will and he will be going back again and again. Friendly, clean, and best of all, they wear out my dog. Thanks!!!!

They've taken such great care of our Alaskan Malamute! From when he was a younger puppy to nearly full grown adult, he absolutely loves going there and playing with the other dogs in their fine facilities! Great place for dogs to stay!

We have been bringing our dog to Iron Will since she was a puppy. We have had nothing but a positive experience and so has our dog. Jen and Shaylee are absolutely amazing and have really become a major part of our dogs life! If you'd like a safe and fun place for your dog bring them here!

We LOVE Iron Will! It is the only place to take your pup for boarding or even just day care. Our three dogs are always so excited when we pull in to the driveway and they know where they are going. It is refreshing to be able to leave our dogs at a clean facility, with people we TRUST, and know that they will have a great time. Thank you Amanda and staff for taking such great care of our kiddos!

I recently boarded my St. Bernard at Iron Will Dog Lodge, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, communicative, honest, and helpful. They responded very quickly to any concerns I had, and when my dog ran out of food, they went above and beyond by going to Petco to get his specific brand.

I especially loved the option for one-on-one buddy time and the grooming services they offered. The pictures they sent me of my dog were a wonderful touch, and it was clear he was well taken care of and happy. Overall, I loved this experience and I’m sure my dog did too. I highly recommend Iron Will for anyone looking for top-notch care for their furry friend.

I cannot express how AMAZING Iron Will and the staff are! My two dogs have now stayed twice, once for two days, and once for 11 days. The staff has gotten to know their personalities and can tell when something is off with them. I will ONLY use their services from now on. Thank you so much for making my puppies feel loved and making me feel safe with them in your care!

We live in Ophir, just south of Telluride but are previously from the East Coast and have decades of experience boarding dogs. We've been using Iron Will Dog Lodge for two years now when we go on vacation and we could not be more pleased with the service. Our dog runs in to play with her new friends and emerges a week or two later relaxed, happy (and clean!) Shout out to the front desk staff, the booking system and especially the staff who work with the dogs directly who clearly get to know the dogs well. Our pup Mabel seemed especially fond of Kinzie when we picked her up today. Mabel is already booked at Iron Will for our next trip!
