Country Oaks Bed And Biscuit

Country Oaks is an awesome place for your doggie to stay. We had to make a last minute visit to someone in Tehachapi and needed a place to leave our dogs. Farmer Paul was very accommodating to our last minute request. He takes particular care to make sure that the dogs are safe, especially when they arrive since the location is close to a very busy road.
Your dogs will be happy if you let them stay at Country Oaks!

I have met two different «Farmer Pauls» on 2 different occasions. The first time we boarded our dogs, he was a big gentle bear of a man, jolly, accomodating, engaged with dogs, etc., and dogs came home happy. The second time, it was as if an alien had abducted him, and replaced him with an agitated, rude, angry, out-​of-​control, scary, yelling monster! After 1 weekend, my dogs came home afraid to approach their food bowls (they did not have any food aggression or eating issues before that, and are still afraid to approach bowls, 1−½ years later), too submissive, and definitely fearful (still) around large men. Maybe he forgot his meds? Maybe he boards helpless dogs because he can’t function with people who can speak up? I have never seen anyone else assisting with the dogs, even though he said he always has additional staff, and I live in the area and drive by his property frequently. I was concerned to learn he does weekly «pick up runs» to L.A. to pick up/​drop off dogs. Who is watching my dogs while he is off doing runs? I believe my dogs were put on the truck in cages to make the run with him the last day they stayed with him, and the truck didn’t even return until 9 p.m. Bottom line… if Paul is abusive and out-​of-​control with paying human clients, how do you think he treats dogs with no one around to protect them? One star only because I think this might not post if I leave it blank.

Although I sat in the car with while my girlfriend and her family completed their transaction, it doesn’t take a proctologist to determine an asshole when I see one. While you are entitled to whatever you wanted to say to them, to a point, you sir went above and beyond to make this transaction uncomfortable. I listened as you wanted an upfront payment, which I have no problem with, but for you to say «People die on vacation all the time» was inappropriate. You saw I had my family in the car which is a hell of a thing to say to someone preparing on an out of town trip. Karma is a mother fucker sir, and you have nothing coming. I would also suggest changing your hours on the internet page which you promote your business. While my animals might be welcomed in the future, rest assured sir, we will never return. The one star I posted is actually a negative one star. Gfy
