All Tails R Waggin was recommended to me through the rescue group ""Cause for Paws"". I wanted to get our newly adopted dog, Bubbles trained. I called and got a ton of information and they were so helpful and understanding since this was all new to me. A few days later we stopped by (without having to make an appointment or call ahead) to put Bubbles in doggy daycare for a few hours while we did some errands and again the staff was highly professional and informative without being snobby or ""know-it-alls"". (They are located right outside of New Albany. Not far at all!!! I get on 161 from Sunbury rd and I'm only on 161 for about 3 miles, then they are right off the exit.) They have 3 huge windows to watch and see the dogs playing in doggy daycare. The dogs were all having so much fun! I could watch them play all day long. I didn't even realize the staff members in the doggy daycare play area knew which dog was mine (b/c the staff member that took Bubbles back there was out front and the staff member in the daycare was back there when we got there)but my son started laughing so hard while I was finishing up at the desk and told me I had to come over and see. When I got to the window, the staff member was holding Bubbles (37lb dog) up and had her waving good-bye to us!!! It was so sweet! They make me feel like our dog is the only dog there and I swear all the staff knew Bubbles by name by the 2nd time we were there! One time we were there a staff member brought out puppies for my kids to play with (did I mention they do dog adoptions and take in dogs who need rescued?!?) and they were thrilled!! Buddy, one of the owners and trainers, did an evaluation on Bubbles when I had her there for doggy daycare and we decided to sign her up for 10 days of training. It was the best thing we've ever done for any of our dogs! We got daily text pics (they do that for doggy daycare also) and she came home so calm. We learned what she was taught and its been so helpful! I can't say enough about having a trainer take the time to not only teach your dog how to behave and loose bad manners but to really care and be genuinely invested in how well she does. Since the training, we work with her and she knows what we want from her. Things are much better with her and when she goes back to doggy daycare the staff knows she has been through the training and continues to work with her when they see her. The facility is not only beautiful it feels like a home. I left Bubbles at another doggy daycare facility and I had trouble walking to my car without her b/c it did't feel comfortable, fun or loving. Thankfully I didn't leave her there long and we found All Tails R Waggin the very next day!!! They have been a great resource for all my dog related questions and we are so happy they are here for us to take care of Bubbles!! Oh man, I didn't even mention the kennels they have for the dogs in boarding- so much space,tvs, windows, beds, patios!! Or how safe the facility is and that the owners live on the property!! I don't know why anyone would go to another facility!! \r
