Taking our boys to tails has been such a great experience both for them and for us. Our pandemic pup Toblerone was still missing some social skills and needed a space with smaller dogs. The training and experience he’s had there, along with extra training at home, has really helped him be a better socialized, less reactive guy. Our sweet little rescue Alfie loves his time there too!

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.

Tails is THE best dog training/care facility I have ever encountered. I have worked with dogs my entire life, training/handling in the show ring and working for years in veterinary medicine, and I’m careful and picky with who handles my animals. Tails staff have my trust and my endorsement forever. They are qualified, competent, knowledgeable and caring. We’ve taken multiple classes and our puppy goes to daycare a few days a week and we have complete peace of mind whenever she’s there. Angi and the trainers there helped shape our 8 week old puppy into the most amazing dog. We are so grateful for this place - it’s the best investment of your time and money for your furry best friend.
I have been taking my pug Walter R. to Tails for over two years. The team at Tails really love him and help me and him so that he can be the best dog ever! If you need help training your dog (or yourself!) using only positive reinforcement! This is the place!! ❤️❤️. They are the best!!

Tails-A-Waggging literally wrapped their arms around our adopted dog during one of the most stressful times our family has faced. They noticed changes in our dog’s behavior and reached out to check in before we even had the chance to share what was happening. This skilled and compassionate team truly advocated for our dog and never gave up on him. We have nothing but respect and accolades for this well-led, deeply caring team.
I’ve been taking my dog to TAW since moving to Bellingham 4.5 years ago. I can’t say enough good things about the kindness and compassion they show Duffy there. He is a rescue and has quirks but they are so patient with him. Angie always has tips for me and I had great training experiences with them as well. Needless to say, I won’t leave him anywhere else.
