Welcome to Tail Tales Academy!
At Tail Tales Academy, we believe every dog deserves a happily ever after. With locations in the UK and USA we are proud to be an international leader in dog training, specializing in positive reinforcement techniques that transform canine behavior with kindness and care. Our mission is simple: to help every dog write their own "tail tale"—a story of growth, confidence, and joy. Whether your furry friend needs basic obedience, help with behavioral challenges, or guidance through those important puppy years, we’re here to help them thrive. What sets us apart is our dedication to creating a stress-free, engaging, and family-friendly learning environment. We don’t just train dogs; we work closely with families to foster strong, positive relationships built on trust and understanding. Our board-and-train programs are carefully designed to suit dogs of all ages, breeds, and needs, ensuring that every pup returns home happier, more confident, and better behaved. At the heart of our approach is a commitment to positive-only training. We believe in the power of reinforcement over punishment, building trust and encouraging desired behaviors through compassion and patience.
How it works
Discover our step-by-step approach to start your dog's tale
Initial Phone Consultation
We begin with a comprehensive consultation to understand your dog's history, behaviour, and your training goals. This helps us design a program that aligns with your expectations and your dog’s requirements.
Personalised Training Plan
Based on the consultation, our trainers develop a customised training plan. This plan outlines the specific techniques and strategies we will use, ensuring that every aspect of your dog’s training is tailored to their unique situation.
Board and Train
Your dog will stay with us in a safe and nurturing environment where they will receive one-on-one training sessions. Our positive reinforcement methods ensure that your dog learns in a stress-free and enjoyable way.
Progress Updates
Throughout the program, we provide regular updates on your dog’s progress. This includes detailed reports and videos so you can see the improvements and understand the training process.
Transfer Sessions
At the end of the training period, we conduct transfer sessions to teach you how to maintain and reinforce your dog’s new behaviours at home. We ensure that you feel confident and equipped to continue the training.
Follow-Up Support
Our commitment to your dog’s success doesn’t end when the program does. We offer lifetime support to address any questions or challenges that may arise after your dog returns home.
