Dear Pet Parents,
Time flies when we’re having fun! We are excited to present another newsletter. It feels like we just completed one, and here we are again so soon. You can expect a newsletter bi-monthly!
We would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who has transitioned to using clip-on collars and non-retractable leashes. While we understand the benefits of harnesses, using a simple clip-on collar and leash makes drop-off and pick-up times easier and safer for everyone involved. Thank you for your cooperation!
We hope you had a wonderful summer! Here are some exciting fall announcements:
- Tails & Trails Canine Explorers Meetup Group Event! Although our trails are not open to the public, we would like to invite our daycare pet parents for a fun and social meetup on our trails. You should have received a personal invitation to our first gathering, scheduled for Saturday, September 20th, at 9 AM. All dogs must be up to date on vaccinations and must remain on leash at all times. We also request a limit of two dogs per handler and the handler be 18 years or older.
- Halloween Canine Carnival! Save the date for our first annual Halloween party for the pups! Sunday, October 26th 1-3pm. Tricks for treats on the trails, a bone dig, scavenger hunt, costume contest, and more!! Get ready for a howling good time! More details to come at a later date!
- Mini Session Mondays! Due to the numerous requests we receive about training, we have decided to introduce “Mini Session Monday.” Each Monday, we will focus on a specific skill and rotate through various topics. Among other skills, our sessions will cover loose leash walking on the trail, recall, and physical fitness. We will use treats during training. Pet parents are welcome to bring their own if their dog has allergies or is highly motivated by a specific treat. The cost for a mini-session is $5.00. To sign up for a session, please select “mini-session” as an add-on when booking your daycare for Mondays. Or, ask one of us to add it at check-in. Skill sessions will begin each Monday starting September 8.
We celebrated our six-month anniversary on August 3, and we are immensely proud of this journey together. This achievement is a testament to the support from all of you and your incredible pups! Thank you!
Happy Tails,
The Tails & Trails Team
