Testimonials
“I’ve boarded my dog at Trails for Tails multiple times, and every single time has been a great experience. My pup is always excited when we pull up and just as happy and well-cared for when I pick him up. He comes home well fed, relaxed, and clearly comfortable. It gives me real peace of mind knowing he’s in a place where he feels at home.”

“We had an amazing experience with Shragi Levy at Trails for Tails and use them for training and boarding. Our husky, Luna, used to pull like crazy and get distracted by every dog she saw. Shragi is calm, patient, and knows how to handle her. If you’re looking for a great dog trainer, we highly recommend Shragi.”

“Our two dogs stayed with Shragi for two weeks while we were on vacation. Shragi was very communicative and sent us videos/pics everyday giving us updates on how they were doing. They seemed in great spirits the entire time. We are very happy with our experience with Shragi and highly recommend him for any training or boarding needs! Will use again.”
