From wild trails to calm homes.

Training that works for real life.

Life with a dog isn’t always simple. Pulling on leash, barking at strangers, or a puppy that loves chaos can leave you frustrated and overwhelmed. At Tails of the Wild, we transform those struggles into calm, connection, and confidence. With methods rooted in welfare, respect, and compassion, we focus on building skills that make life easier—and strengthen the bond you share with your dog.

Serving the east bay area: Walnut Creek, Lafayette, Alamo, Danville, Moraga, and Pleasant Hill.

❊ Testimonials

Loved by dogs, trusted by owners.

Seriously! But don’t take our word for it, here are some things people have to say about us.

We can’t say enough good things about this camp. Our daughter went from being nervous about spending a week away from home to begging us to sign her up for the longer session next summer! She came home so much more confident, more independent, and totally in love with every sport she tried.

Sending our child to sleepaway camp for the first time was a big step, but we knew right away they were in great hands. The coaches and staff created such a welcoming, safe space. Our son felt supported, included, and had an absolute blast every single day.
