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.

I am so happy we found Tails! After a week of going to daycare, I already notice my Rottweiler puppy making progress in basic leash manners, greeting people calmly, and settling down. He has almost stopped biting completing! We actually get compliments in public by how well behaved he is. We are also getting private lessons in our home, as we have young children and chickens that our puppy likes to terrorize. Highly recommend for training and daycare! They truly love every single dog that comes in.

Had a private session with Jen and it was so educational! She had great advice and tools for me to start implementing. She really helped me feel more confident in what I was already doing as well. I've had a couple different trainers in town and Tails a wagging has my loyalty. When I first called I spoke with the owner and the amount of help/information she offered me with no strings attached blew me away! I am so grateful for you all and know who to call when I'm stuck with my pups! Thanks again!

This place is the best! They really cater to your dogs individual needs and support you throughout the process. You can tell all the trainers and the owner, Angie, are all very invested in your dogs success! I recommend this place to all dog owners! <3

Tails has been life changing for us!!! He was literally eating drywall before we started at Tails. He’s so social and needs way more stimulation than small walks and one big outing a day. The training-based, amazing care and socializing has been the ticket! They take great care to find what works for his nap time, keep us informed on what he needs to work on at home(but not in a judgy way at all!) and are kind to pups and people alike! Just fabulous. Our EXTREMELY 😂 social boy LOVES his daycare days and he’s so happy, tired and cuddly when we pick him up. We love watching him on the live cameras! I feel Iike I can’t even say all the good things that need to be said! Thank you- seriously!
