Question on Google
Do you have herding classes?

Although they do not offer a herding specific class, they do teach Wag It! Games which incorporated Treibball, a herding specific sport.

Community answer · Angi Lenz · 2021-09-21

Tails does not offer herding classes. The best way to get started in herding would be to visit a local herding trial and observe the handlers, see whose style looks like something you might enjoy learning and then asking them if they are a trainer themselves or if they can recommend one. You will see many different styles in use in herding, make sure you look for a trainer that you feel comfortable with. Ask if you can observe a lesson or two that they have with another client and make sure their style will work for you and your dog. I take my dog for lessons once in awhile just for fun, our trainer teaches in Arlington.

What a great experience! Angela and team are obviously devoted to helping raise well loved, positively trained family dogs! Like new parents, we’re all tired, sometimes exasperated puppy parents… Tails a Wagging is an excellent guide to help us through!!! Many thanks!

My puppies love "school!" The staff are friendly, knowledgeable & energetic. The training and classes they offer are top notch. The facility is clean and inviting. I've never seen an unhappy dog - all dogs love it here! And as a human, me too.

Angela and her staff have been an absolute god-send for Me and my K9 Co-Pilot (Poppy) with providing reliable, trustworthy, and exceptional canine daycare services. They have clearly shown over the last 2 years that their #1 priority is the dogs best-interests. They honestly will love your dog as much as you do. I know this because Poppy has/does struggle with some separation anxiety (she’s a pandemic pup) and while my departure in most situations is an issue for her she is nothing but excited when at Tails, literally doesn’t look back at drop off. Tails is top-notch and a gem for the canine community in Bellingham. It can’t be overstated….I highly recommend them.
