Age and Spay/Neuter
Talk to the Tail has 2 rooms to better suit your dog. We are accepting dogs of all ages, however ALL dogs over the age of 6 months will need to be spay/neutered to attend daycare. Our puppies under 6 months will be designated to our small side of daycare, where they can enjoy time with other puppies and be more closely monitored for over-activity and be given ample breaks and more time outside - that's right, we want to keep your pup's house training! After 6 months and/or spay neuter we will place your dog in the right group and environment for them! Puppies off all ages welcome - to attend daycare, your puppy will need their second round of vaccines complete!
Once your pup reaches 6 months of age they will need to take a break from daycare until their Spay/Neuter is complete!
Puppy Monday's can be booked by dogs of any age, Puppy Monday pricing will be offered to all Puppies up to 6 months of age!
***We understand some breeders require a certain time period to pass before spay/neutering as per their contract. Please reach out to management should this pertain to your pup***

What to Bring
All you need to bring is your dog! If your pup is on a feeding schedule where they would normally eat at a time they will be spending at daycare (ex. 9am breakfast or 5pm dinner) you are welcome to bring their food and we will be happy to feed them. We do not have any food on site, so we ask that you make sure to supply your own food. To limit waste, we ask you bring their food in a container that will be returned to you clean and sanitized at the end of the day. We request that you do not bring any toys, beds, blankets or any belongings. We don't want these to get worn or ruined and will supply all the tools your dog needs to be comfortable throughout the day.

Leash/Collar Policy
We remove all collars and harnesses for daycare, however ask that all dogs arrive and depart on leash. This is for your dog's safety as well as the safety of all others. We believe in the benefits of a collar-free facility much outweighed having collars on your dog during play. Please ask us for more information!

Assessments and First Days
Talk to the Tail will not be conducting assessments for your dog to attend daycare.
We believe that a dog can act very differently in a one-on-one assessment style setting than in a daycare setting. Being in the environment they are going to participate in day over day is a direct indicator of how they will act over time. This allows us to test out different days and sort them into their prospective groups and areas in daycare before saying no - providing more flexibility and options for our dogs and our owners.
We suggest your dog come for a Half or Full Day as their assessment. As transparency is our mission, we will be as honest and open about your dog's behaviour and enjoyment of daycare no matter when they attend, and we will offer detailed and written reports and include videos and photos of your dogs use of daycare. We know daycare isn't for every dog, but we also know how to make your dog fit in, feel comfortable and truly enjoy their daycare experience.

Outside Time
Your dogs go outside on the hour every hour! And more frequently for shorter durations on the coldest and hottest days! We go out for approximately 20 minutes per hour, or more frequently for less amount of time on our coldest or hottest days. We are strict and diligent on this policy as we know how important outside time can be for all dogs! Not only does this help with your hard work of housebreaking but dogs need a change of scenery throughout the day while still having the ability to have fun, play with their friends and just get some fresh air! Walking can be restrictive and poses a risk to your dog's safety - so we made sure our yard is escape proof, safe and ready for your dog's full enjoyment!
