TAILS Academy Reviews
See what our customers have to say about their experience at our facility with our team of pet care professionals.
"I love the one-on-one enrichment he gets at the Tails Academy. But also the exceptional teaching I receive in class."
"We have been training at Think Pawsitive for the last 6 years with our three dogs. Our newest pup, Skyler, has taken manners classes with Carli and is currently enrolled in agility classes and Tails Academy. Skyler loves going to Tails and she absolutely loves working all of the staff. All of her obedience training gets reinforced and she works on new skills as well. Skyler is a bit fearful of strangers and the Pawsitive staff have been great at helping us problem solve and work on getting Skyler more confident. We also train our two other pups, Bella and Sophie in nosework and agility. Each of them enjoy the classes and instructors. As owners we receive unparalleled instructions that help to train our dogs with positive reinforcement and allowing our dogs to learn and grow."
