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.

We Love Tails! Our dog has been going for about a year and she loves it. I appreciate being able to check on her throughout the day. I really appreciate their donation partnerships as I get to learn about new spaces to donate as well as getting our girl in for an extra day. So excited to set up a new pup with them! Highly recommend for a space that helps continue your training at home and gives new tips and tricks too!

Completely unprofessional. Do not trust them with your animals

Tails A’ Wagging is truly one of Bellingham’s happiest little corners. The staff is kind, attentive, and clearly passionate about every dog who walks through the door. You can feel the care in the way they greet each pup by name, celebrate their quirks, and make them feel safe and loved. The facility is clean, welcoming, and thoughtfully run, and the energy is always upbeat—like a place where dogs actually want to be. And yes… the pup cups are a total hit. It’s such a sweet, simple touch that shows how much they value creating joy for both pets and their people. If you’re looking for a place that treats your dog like family, Tails A’ Wagging is it. Bellingham is lucky to have them.

Went to visit a dog for possible adoption. Followed all directions. Felt the dog was aggressive. Asked to leave the area as I did not feel safe. Angi nodded that it was safe to leave. Dog charged me and bit me deep into my arm. No one called or texted a follow up to see if I was okay or our 2 daughters were okay seeing this happen. This is unprofessional and unethical. Why would you not find out if everyone is okay after an animal attack?

TAW goes beyond doggie daycare: this is a top-notch, fear-free dog training & school service from caring, emotionally and psychologically savvy canine whisperers. Far from passively babysitting your dogs, they help you train them and socialize them into happy, well-adjusted companions. We are blown away by how good Tails A Wagging have been to us and our dog, and wish we knew of them when she was 8-9 weeks old.
