THE VISION

To redefine pet ownership using mindfulness, education, and community so that every dog can get the love, attention, and support it needs while enabling a relationship in which dogs and humans can learn from each other. THE MISSION

Using education and fun to help pet parents strengthen their bond with their dogs while creating a calmer and more peaceful home environment. Wag is an edu

cation center teaching dogs, their people, future Instructors, and Pro Groomers. We use only science-based methods of learning proven effective by leading veterinary behaviorists, ethologists, researchers, behaviorists, and well-respected trainers from around the world. The mentors we regularly learn from are leaders in our industry and are members of the associations we are proud members of. We teach you what the latest research has to offer with absolutely no force or electronic devices. Wag n Tails follows a humane hierarchy and we do not use force to teach. Wag n Tails proudly follows the LIMA approach. Least intrusive, minimally aversive. Our experienced consultants offer consults prior to your training plan in your home and instructors provide a variety of tailored group classes and seminars if you are local to us. For our nationwide followers, we provide remote learning and online courses allowing us to make a difference in the lives and homes of even more fellow dog lovers! Our main location is in Shelby Township, Michigan. We service both Oakland and Macomb Counties with our home services and our satellite training centers. We also help people nationwide with our online courses and virtual lessons. Check us out on the website to learn more or to schedule a free 15 minute strategy session with owner and founder, Christine!

Mako and Milo here with an announcement!

​❤️​ Dear friends and clients,

We wanted to inform you that our beloved manager Cari will be taking an indefinite leave of absence as she recovers from torn rotator cuff surgery.

Recovery is expected to take at least 6 months, so we are adjusting our plans accordingly.

During this time, we will be scheduling working interviews with potential new groomers to ensure that our specialists meet the same quality and standards you’ve grown accustomed to.

We also want to make sure that our current groomers do not burn out, so we appreciate your patience as we navigate this transition.

In the meantime, we will be referring our clients to Lakeside Dog Grooming and Kutsnkisses Grooming, where we know your dogs will receive excellent care.

We are grateful for your understanding and support during this challenging time.

Please join us in sending well wishes to Cari for a speedy recovery. Thank you for being a part of our community and for your continued loyalty.

Peace and Wags,

Christine Fox and Team Wag

SO many wonderful dog lovers and pet parents that make our dog magic happen! 🥰

Thank you for your continued business and ongoing support. It’s so awesome when clients come back again and again as their families grow. Yesterday I talked to several clients who have been following us for many years who now have new pups.

We also have lots of friends and neighbors that come to classes with their dogs together. We’ve recently had pups from the same breeder in the same class! Just so cool!

Here are our next set of classes and events. I hope to see you at my next webinar.

Have a great weekend and happy training!

Did you know that we offer virtual private lessons over Zoom or Google Meet?! This option works especially well if... ✔ You aren't located local to our Michigan trainers ✔ You or your dog don't do well in social environments ✔ You aren't comfortable having visitors in your home ✔ You simply don't want to leave the comfort of your home for the sake of convenience Check out our website to learn more: https://wagntails.net/virtual-training

Congratulations to our valued Instructor Conor! He is moving right along with his training requirements with us at Wag. Conor is now an official American Kennel Club Evaluator. Way to go Conor! 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 The AKC recognizes the importance of the CGC® (Canine Good Citizen) Program and we are committed to its continued growth and resulting impact on responsible dog ownership. Canine Good Citizen® resolutions have been passed by 48 state legislatures and the United States Senate. Plus insurance companies are starting to use CGC® to insure breeds they would not otherwise insure. Yep! 🙌 Some condominium associations around the country now require that all dogs in the complex have earned the Canine Good Citizen® award. This is great news for our community!❤️ Congratulations to Conor on his continuing education and reaching more goals to help us make a difference. #educationmatters #positivereinforcement #dogtrainer #CGC #AKC

Our Story

At Wag ‘N’ Tails Dog Activity Center - education comes first at both of our locations in Shelby Township, Michigan. We appreciate that you are a parent to your dog. Our clients are pet parents - not dog owners. We know how much your dog means to you! That’s one of the reasons why education comes first for us.

As pet parents ourselves, we know that choosing a trustworthy care provider and/or a care facility is an important decision. We appreciate that price and location is certainly a consideration among many.

Contact us today! We look forward to explaining what is uniquely included in our standard service. We hope you agree there is much to consider when finding a caring place where your pet will be healthy and happy. Our highly skilled pack leaders on the phones are ready to take your call and help get you started with the best program for your needs. We are a school, not a “doggie daycare.” There’s a difference!

Education: Staff training and experience.
