The Tail Collective

***Starting at $20

While you are running errands, away at work, or on vacation: one of our reliable pet personnel will watch your pet in the safety and comfort of your home.

Every service is tailored to your home care needs and your pet’s specific needs, energy level, and personality to ensure the best experience possible. Included in every service are meal feeding, refreshing water, relieving your pet, cleaning up pet areas, and providing customized and quality physical and mental stimulation to your pets under the watchful eye of a professional sitter. We also provide home care services such as watering the plants, bringing in mail, alternating lights, and taking out the trash. We love and care for your pet just as much as you do with the same professional sitter interacting with your companion, forming a reliable and lasting bond.

During your designated time frame in the day, one of our professional pet sitters will discretely arrive at your home and tend to your pets.

Pricing is for the whole household, no matter how many pets. Please ask if you have any special requests, we are happy to try to accommodate and create a customized service just for you.

Our drop-in service is a great choice for pets who:
- Need relief in the middle of the day.
- Are fed lunch or have midday medications.
- Require extra potty breaks and socialization.
- Desire the one-on-one attention.
- Have separation anxiety during the day.
- Are more comfortable at home than at daycare or in a kennel environment.

The first 6 months of your puppy’s life are a critical development stage. We work on all the puppy behaviors such as potty training, nipping/teething, destructive chewing, crate training, digging, safe and proper socialization and playing, jumping, crying/whining, people/pet/noise exposure, etc. Instilling a strong foundation at this age will ensure you and your pup will have a solid start to a fun, happy, stressless, and cohesive relationship.

***Starting at $110

Teaching your dog the essential manners and basics commands in and out of the home is crucial to having a harmonious and fluid relationship with your companion, no matter the age. We work on behaviors such as meeting new people/pets, playing appropriately with toys and with other dogs, loose leash walking, separation anxiety, and basic commands (sit, stay, come, etc.). With this base, you and your dog will have the fundamental tools to navigate the world and what life has to offer.

***Starting at $130

This program is to test and challenge you and your dog further, whether you are looking to give your dog a job, or to have more fun and deepen the relationship you and your dog have. We advance and develop behaviors related to your higher level training goal(s) such as working towards service/therapy dog status and/or training tricks/advanced commands. For service/therapy goals, we work on exposure and desensitization for all types of noises/people/animals, public manners, tasks/alerts if needed, and passing the required exams. For tricks/advanced commands goals, we can work on nose work, alerts, item retrieval, item identification, stunts, posing, pressing buttons, opening/closing doors, on demand/cue commands and much more. At this time, we do not offer services related to dog sports (agility, dock diving, herding, etc.) and protection K9 services. *Note, your pup will need to have a solid foundation of basic skills and obedience before enrolling in this program.

Whether your dog barks and lunges at other dogs on walks, growls and becomes defensive with strangers in the home, or is anxious about being left alone, our program helps resolve these issues. Our training uses two main steps: desensitizing what your dog perceives as a threat, and equipping both you and your dog with the necessary preventative and coping mechanisms to better handle specific situations and stress in the future. Our techniques treat the emotions motivating the behaviors first, and then show the dog what alternative behavior is appropriate. We work on and modify behaviors such as leash reactivity, dog-dog aggression, dog-human aggression, resource guarding, territorialism, separation anxiety, shyness/timidness, and human or dog related social anxiety.

***Starting at $100

This type of training is best for pet parents who may not have the full time or commitment to train their dog on a daily or frequent basis and for owners that want to start off on the right foot with their new puppy. During a set time frame (usually AT LEAST 5-7 days), your pup will be living and forming good habits at one of our trainer's homes. We only take on a limited amount of clients so you can be sure your dog will have plenty of one-on-one attention.

****We do not recommend dogs needing behavior modification for this type of training program. Better success with behavior modification has been seen through private training sessions and in-home training.
