Education Comes First Since 1999
Education comes first at both Wag ‘N’ Tails locations in Shelby Township, Michigan. We appreciate that you are a parent to your dog, not just a dog “owner.” That’s one of the reasons why education comes first for us. This is also why we prefer to be called your dog’s school – We’re so much more than a doggie daycare. As professionals, we take pride in knowing what makes your dog happy – and healthy.

Education is number one and always will be at Wag ‘N’ Tails
When we are passionate about the learning process, we aren’t just referring to the dogs, their lessons, and their future. In order for us to live by the words of our mission statement, education must be offered to not only the dogs but their families as well. For us to achieve those goals, it’s imperative that our amazing staff is educated in order to offer our skills to the community. Education is the key to our success and what makes us awesome! We are proud of who we are at Wag ‘N’ Tails and who we continue to be! Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions about our unique services and care.
Here is what a few of our dedicated parents have to say:
We had our 6-month-old old German Shepherd Diesel boarded at Wag ‘N’ Tails while out of town. We also scheduled extra training sessions while he was there. I have seen so much improvement in such a short period of time. Diesel is no longer pulling when being walked & although he still barks like a maniac at other dogs I am now able to get his attention with the “watch me” command…refocusing his attention every time. Diesel had a blast & can’t wait until next time his pack leaves town 🙂 Erica Adams Keesee.
Wag ‘N’ Tails helped us LOVE having a dog again! Our pup Rosie has been enrolled in puppy classes, daycare, boarding, and grooming. The lessons taught us class work! Day Care is a blessing to both dog and busy family, as well as boarding. And Maire the groomer takes great care of Rosie. She always looks and smells great! Best of all, Rosie loves going! She used to be shy but now jumps up joyfully in the lot. I highly recommend this place. It has helped to make dog ownership so enjoyable! Alex Van Almen.
Cannot speak highly enough of Wag ‘N’ Tails! All of the staff is wonderful! When I adopted my dog, Koba, he had been attending Wag for daycare and training as a foster. Even though it is over an hour from my house I still take Koba here to play with his friends as it’s worth the drive. He loves it! Additionally, I love the Wag isn’t just a free for all play space. They work with him on solidifying basic commands while he’s there. They are an amazing center that really knows how to handle dogs and look out for the animals best interest. Wag really becomes family for the animals and their humans! Jolene Kijorski.
Wag ‘N’ Tails dog training is a place I refer many of my current clients to. They only use force-free, scientific based techniques that follow proven teaching methods like classical conditioning and operant conditioning. Training here taught me a lot about dog behavior and how to successfully communicate with my dog! – Laura Byrd, Wilson Veterinary Hospital.
