We absolutely love using Tail Command in Taylorville IL. Our 2 year old english mastiff Ringo was becoming a little couped up in the house all day, so we decided to try out doggie day care last fall. It has been a great experience for all of us he has learned to play well with other and to take food nicely from us. We normally take Ringo 3 days a week and the minute we say Tail Command he gets very excited and looks for his leash. He spends about 8 hours at Tail Command and comes home tired and ready to snuggle up with us, opposed to being wound up and ready to play after we have worked all day! We have also utilized boarding for when we are out of town for the night or weekend and Ringo really enjoyed it. They also sell Taste of the Wild food so we are able to pick up his food while picking him up. Overall we love the atmosphere of Tail Command and Ian and Gabby are great with all the dogs. Thanks from Ringo's parents!!

I have been using Tail Command for almost a year now. The service is excellent and my dog loves to go to the daycare. The facility is well kept and the dogs are all excited to be there. I can tell my dog, Daisy, has a ton of fun every day by how tired she is when she comes home. Tail Command also offers training services. When I started taking Daisy there, she was a bit of a handful and very stubborn about following commands. Within two days of daycare, Daisy was no longer jumping on people and listening a little more. That was without the extra training services that they provide - just included with learning play manners throughout the day. Tail Command also offers grooming. Daisy has used this service several times. I've had her trimmed up - they did a fabulous job - and often have them do her baths. The great part is I can drop her off in the morning, she will play all day, I tell them when I will pick her up and they have her washed and ready for me when I get there. She's had fun and is all cleaned up without any extra running around or appointment making on my part. Tail Command also offers nutritional foods for your dogs/puppies that have been researched and are proven winners. When I started bringing Daisy there, I had just gotten her from a rescue. She had very thin, coarse hair and, what seemed to be allergies. They recommended a new food for her and, after a couple of months, her hair was much thicker and softer. Her allergies seemed to have cleared up too.

I adopted my lab/pit mix (Buddy) in December 2013 from sangamon county when he was about 5 months old. I was working 3rd shift at the time so I was able to be at home all day with him and had someone to take care of him at night if I needed. I ended up getting a job with normal hours and I wasn't sure what I was going to do with Buddy. A friend told me about Tail Command and said she had heard so many great things about it. I decided to get online and check it out! I ended up emailing Ian a few questions I had about their day care and he emailed me back the next morning. About a week or so later, I decided to take Buddy to Tail Command to try it out. Before meeting them, I was nervous to leave my dog with strangers for the majority of the day but once I got to know everyone I was sure they would take great care of Buddy! When meeting Ian and his team, I was impressed by their knowledge of animals and their passion for the business. They are all so friendly! Buddy was having problems with chewing on anything and everything. He would always drag me down the street when trying to go on a walk. He was a good dog but he just had so much energy! After the first day of being at Tail Command, Buddy was a changed dog! He literally passes out for the rest of the evening after leaving the day care. I don't have a problem with him chewing on things, walks are so much more enjoyable now and he's not so hyper! Tail Command is amazing and I'm so happy that Buddy is able to play out
