Tait & Tails Pet Services

28/11/2025

There’s a common myth that puppies can’t go for walks or have sitting services before they turn one, but that simply isn’t true. What matters is that everything is done gently, appropriately, and with their growing bodies and developing confidence in mind. Short, steady walks, calm social experiences, and supportive one-to-one care can actually help puppies learn about the world in a safe and positive way. It’s all about pacing, not pushing.

At Tait and Tails, I tailor every session to suit your puppy’s age, confidence levels, and physical needs, making sure they stay comfortable and never overdo it.

If you’d like guidance or want to book age-appropriate walks or sitting for your puppy, feel free to get in touch and I’ll be happy to help and share a picture of your puppy in the comments.

I offer trial day care sessions and overnight stays so your dog can settle in gradually and get to know the routine before any longer bookings. These trial visits give me a chance to understand what your dog needs to feel comfortable, and they help your dog build confidence in a new environment without any pressure. It’s a calm, steady introduction that makes future stays smoother and far less stressful.

If you’re thinking about day care or boarding and would like your dog to try a gentle, welfare-led trial first, drop the word 'trial' in the comments and I will send you more info.

Rescue dogs are always welcome at Tait and Tails, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe and understood. Many rescue dogs arrive with their own history, and I never rush them or expect them to fit into a one-size-fits-all routine. I work at their pace, offer calm introductions, and build trust slowly so they can settle with confidence. Whether it’s walks, boarding, or quieter one-to-one support, I adapt the service to suit what they’re comfortable with.

If you've have a rescue dog, drop a dog emoji or would love for you share a photo of your fur baby!

Tait and Tails is different because I put care and safety at the heart of everything I do. I’m fully pet first aid trained, so your dog is always in safe hands. I keep groups small so every dog has the space and support they need. I upload regular pupdates so you always know how your dog is getting on. I offer individual boarding for dogs who prefer a quieter, more settled stay. I also use professionally crash tested fitted boxes for secure and comfortable travel 🩷🐾

If you’d like a service that puts your dog’s welfare first, feel free to get in touch to book or ask any questions.

🐾 How do we match dogs together for our services?

When I introduce dogs to each other for services, I take my time to make sure every pairing is safe, comfortable, and genuinely enjoyable. I look at each dog’s age, play style, confidence levels, and how they communicate. Some enjoy calm walking partners, while others thrive with a playful match who shares their energy. I always start with controlled introductions, give each dog plenty of space, and watch their body language closely so they can build trust at their own pace.

🐾 If you’d like your dog to be matched thoughtfully and safely for walks or group sessions, get in touch and I’ll be happy to help.
