More Than Just Pet Care —
Discover the Tails Time Advantage
Our approach to dog care is centered around safety, socialization, and creating positive experiences for every dog in our care.
Certified Canine Coaches
Our play rooms are supervised by certified Canine Coaches, and your dog will be in a playroom where he or she is surrounded by dogs of similar size, temperament and play style as well as those who are fully vaccinated.
Specialized training in dog behavior and body language
Low coach-to-dog ratios for personalized attention
Ongoing professional development and training
Structured Daycare Program
We model our doggy daycare structure after that of children’s daycare. We focus on ensuring that our canine guests reap all the benefits you’d expect from daycare, including healthy exercise, safe socialization with humans and other dogs, mental stimulation and learning positive behaviours. Many of our pet parents report an increase in their dog’s confidence and obedience at home following regular daycare visits.
