FirstBarkWe can't say enough good things about Mandy and the work she does. Our puppy is growing into such a well-behaved dog and we couldn't have done it without her help. Not only does she seemingly know everything about dogs, but she's also just an incredible person who clearly loves what she does. If you want your puppy to turn into a good dog, bring them to Mandy ASAP!

City of Tails is a wonderful training group. Our pup hadn’t been socialized at all and this training has made a world of difference. Our pup gets so excited when I tell he is going to ‘class’.

Our puppy started at 16 weeks old with City tails and just graduated at 6.5 months old. City Tails team worked so hard to give him the social skills with other dogs and master basic puppy manners. He grew from being afraid of dogs to playing happily with other puppies of all sizes. Each session was small enough to get individual training and puppy play time. Jordon is especially good with listening about areas our puppy needed training on. Her patience was amazing! I highly recommend Mandy’s City of Tails for anyone looking for more than just day care or a quick 4 week one hour session of puppy training. Thank you all so much for your help in making our puppy a happy socialized well behaved puppy!

“City of Tails has been an absolute lifesaver for us and our pup, Rooster! Mandy is truly amazing — always positive, non-judgmental, and so supportive. I came in feeling overwhelmed and anxious, but her calm, encouraging presence helped me feel capable. She guided us through those early, chaotic puppy days with so much knowledge and care. Rooster adores her, and I’m so grateful for the foundation she’s helped us build. If you’re looking for someone who truly understands dogs and humans, Mandy and her colleagues at City of Tails is it!
Mandy is the most knowledgeable behaviorist I have met. She uses her background as a Veterinarian Technician, and vast experience working with dogs to assess holistic health and determine causes for a dog's behavior. Her training is thorough, she ensures owner's understanding of all presented material, and she keeps training fun and entertaining for dog and owner!
