Tail Gate for Dogs

Welcome to Tail Gate, where lucky dogs go for fun and play. We’re glad you stopped in! We’ve designed our state-of-the-art facility with two goals in mind: To satisfy your dog’s need for social interaction and to foster his or her physical well-being:

Social – Our open, cage-free daycare environment gives your dog an opportunity to interact with others of his or her temperament and level of energy and to make friends.

Physical – We know how important exercise is to dogs, just as it is to humans. We also know that busy dog owners don’t always have the time to exercise their pets. Tail Gate provides you with a convenient way to make sure your dog gets a vigorous dose of physical activity.

Dogs are admitted for daycare only after a thorough behavior assessment. Tail Gate accepts only friendly, healthy dogs. Take a look around, we think you’ll agree that Tail Gate is the ultimate experience for your canine companion. At Tail Gate, your dog’s comfort and happiness are our No. 1 concern.
