Here’s what all the barking is about.

Happy Tails Doggy Daycare is the place to be. But don’t take our word for it! Check out what our customers are saying about the Happy Tails difference.

“Give them a try, you won’t regret it.”

If you are in the situation we were in, look no further. Happy Tails Doggy Daycare is 100% the best around! Our adopted dog, Manny, is very attached to his pack (our family), which warms our hearts. So much that he howls, when he is left alone, at home. It is very difficult to be in his presence, 24/7. After trying several doggy daycare’s in the area, we discovered that Manny found his home, away from home. Manny has made several friends there (including many of the staff members!). We highly recommend HAPPY TAILS DOGGY DAYCARE, and are thankful for all that they do to keep Manny smiling. 🙂 Give them a try, you won’t regret it.

Happy Tails is an amazing place for my dog, Finley. The team members are all so nice and they take amazing care of Finn. And so many other pluses such as early drop off and late pick up when needed, overnights and more. Very well run doggy daycare, I would highly recommend it!

Why Happy Tails is the doggy daycare for Angel

“Without Cathy and her staff at Happy Tails I would not be able to do my job and have the privilege of being able to be a dog mom.”

First, I think Cathy and her staff are fabulous!! I first used Happy Tails with my first dog Cody. I had never had a dog before and was naive I could manage it all. I work as a surgical PA at a local hospital so my job can be demanding and my schedule difficult at times. Nights, holidays, weekends and sometimes even overnights. Cathy and her staff made my life easier by relieving the stress and anxiety of trying to arrange it all. I knew Cody had a safe place to play and would have a ball. I felt guilty but in reality he was having a blast. When I had to leave him overnight I knew someone would physically be there with him. Unfortunately I lost him 2 years ago at the age of almost 15. A few months ago I was ready and decided to rescue a terrier mix from Texas. With no back story and not knowing the amount of energy and lack of training she had I realized quickly I was in trouble. With the interview Cathy showed me Angel’s strengths and weaknesses . Clearly she was 2.5 yrs old but no graces or boundaries. She acted like a puppy.I quickly became exhausted and was having difficulty managing her. I went to Cathy and she saw my worry. I didn’t want to give her up. Without a moment of hesitation Cathy and her staff came up with a plan and they saved Angel and I. Angel spent more time at Happy Tails and the staff eagerly jumped in and are helping me train her. She is learning from the other dogs and making friends. Its been 2 months and I am already seeing a significant change in her! She is settling in. Still a work in progress but a lot of progress in that short period of time.

Bottom line: Without Cathy and her staff at Happy Tails I would not be able to do my job and have the privilege of being able to be a dog mom.

There are a lot of great daycares out there but for the reasons above Happy Tails is the one for Angel and I. I cannot say enough great things about Cathy, her staff and Happy Tails doggy daycare. When your driving to daycare your dog knows the route and squeals the whole way there…when you open the door and they jump out and run up the walkway to get inside you know you have found the right place for your fur baby.

Best day care around. Only place I would take my dog. No crates and loving staff.

Molly

Miss Molly

“I have full confidence she is loved and adored throughout by all.”

As a first time dog owner and an owner of a rescue dog, I can’t say enough positive things about our experiences at Happy Tails! From the initial assessment to becoming a regular attendee, Miss Molly totally and completely ADORES her visits at what we affectionately call “Molly Camp”. She is always welcomed with caring, open arms and I can tell, I’ve been “dismissed” once the staff takes her at incoming. I know she is well respected and engaged (and tired) when I pick her up at day’s end. Also….. Molly has had several “pajama parties” of varying duration and I have full confidence she is loved and adored throughout by all. Molly loves Happy Tails (and so does her Mom).

I have two Golden Retrievers who have been Happy Tails dogs from the age of 4 months. They are now 6 1/2. They are so excited the minute we pull into the parking lot. I am so thankful for Happy Tails. They are well cared for and part of a family. The 7 day/week and overnight programs are an immense help. I particularly like the indoor/outdoor facilities and the fact that the staff stays overnight with the dogs. An absolutely amazing home away from home for your cherished pets.

“Activity and fulfillment for your dog and peace of mind for you.”

We are very lucky to have had Happy Tails for all four of our adoptees over the past 20 years or so. Cathy and company are legitimate expert handlers in an environment where dogs get socialization in a safe and caring environment. We’ve found that rescued pups often come with some rough edges, and that Happy Tails has been vital in helping them adjust to a new, happier way of living. And there is great peace of mind when we have to board them, knowing they will be comfortable, safe, and active while we are away. One important thing to know is that Happy Tails screens dogs for appropriate behavior, unlike other daycare “factories” which may not be as careful. We had one dog that initially did not interact properly with others and flunked his admission test several times before getting good enough to make it, and his behavior just became better and better over the years. The staff is wonderful. I’d guess Cathy is as choosy in her hiring as she is in her dog evaluation! They get to know your dogs personally and provide all the feedback you could want about their experience there. Happy Tails provides activity and fulfillment for your dog and peace of mind for you. For us, it’s one less thing to worry about in life.

Hopper & Luna

We have been long time clients of HTDDC - Our first dog Jacob attended for 10+ years and our precious girls Hopper and Luna started 3 years ago. Cathy screens all newcomers for temperament/behavior, social needs and play level. As rescues there are many unanswerable questions but it was clear Hopper and Luna didn't really know how to be dogs with other dogs - Cathy was candid in her assessment. The trial period went off without a hitch and the girls acclimated quickly thanks to the incredible staff at Happy Tails. Their socialization needs are met each week in a safe, structured environment. They are always ready for "school days" and can't wait to get in the door. We wouldn't change a thing!

“Happy Tails is a “home away from home” where we know our dogs are happy, safe, cared for, and loved.”

Happy Tails is the most wonderful place! Our two dogs, Mikey and Pip, get so excited when we drive into the parking lot. They cannot wait to exit the car and get on their way to a day of fun and play. The staff at Happy Tails know each and every dog, their history and personality, and their uniqueness. Happy Tails is a “home away from home” where we know our dogs are happy, safe, cared for, and loved. We could not be more pleased with Happy Tails.

Luna

Happy Tails is fantastic! Our Luna has been going there for 3.5 years (since she was 6 months old) and loves it. Cathy and her staff are so professional, friendly, and caring. We know Luna is going to have lots of fun, plenty of exercise, and receive tons of attention whether at daycare or during overnight stays. We wouldn’t choose any other place!
