About Training Tails

Training and daycare in Clayton

Training Tails is a dog training and doggie daycare center at 558 Hopewell Drive in Clayton. It was founded by owner Tom Moore, who credits his German Shepherd, Brandi, as the inspiration: working through basic and advanced training programs with her showed him how training and communication deepen the bond between dog and owner. Danielle Summers serves as Head Trainer.

Training programs

Training Tails offers basic and advanced obedience through one-on-one and Day School programs, with options ranging from one-hour private sessions to full-day sessions and a three-week board and train program. The team describes its style as patient, kind and consistent, and its trainers watch the existing dynamics between dog and owner to understand the frustrations and needs of both.

Daycare

The cage-free daycare has eight separate play areas based on size and play style, an outside pool, climate control and a daycare bus for pick-ups. Every dog is screened and assessed for temperament before joining a group.
