Why no dogs?

Because it's not fair to them. It's sometimes hot as Hades, no place for a dog to cool off, it's a highly alkyline surface, YOUR feet will suffer if you don't wear sandals, imagine what it will do the underside and the inner parts of a dogs paws. The atmoshere is not particularly conducive to letting dogs run. The noise will drive dogs nutso. There is no way to isolate a dog that wants to continually bark because it's unhappy. And it might just be after three or four days in the desert heat.

Trying to keep up with human messes is hard enough and dog owners don't have a great track record of cleaning up after their pets in a more controlled environment.

I have been there twice, I would never subject a critter I love to the stupidity I would subject myself. I enjoyed it, but dogs don't belong. While some critters might enjoy this kind of trip, most owners don't have the objectivity to make that call.

Have a fun time at BRC.
