Tail Tales Academy

Tail Tales Academy: positive reinforcement dog training in London and Manchester

Tail Tales Academy is a dog training academy operating in the United Kingdom, with a presence in London and Manchester. Its approach is based on positive reinforcement: rewarding desired behaviours instead of punishing unwanted ones, with the aim of strengthening the bond between dogs and their owners. The academy presents itself as a team of trainers expert in addressing a range of behavioural issues and training goals, with hands-on experience and dedication to each dog's potential.

Training programmes

The training offer is organised into several programmes, each with the option to request an information call:

• Dog Tales: general dog training programme.
• Puppy Tale: aimed at puppies.
• Teen Tale: for dogs in the adolescent stage.
• Rehabilitation Tale: focused on rehabilitating problem behaviours.
• Custom Tale: personalised programme according to each dog's specific needs.

The programmes cover everything from basic obedience to advanced work and protection, and include aspects of canine care such as nutrition, exercise and mental stimulation. The academy states that each dog receives individualised attention, with programmes tailored to its characteristics and learning pace.

Team of trainers

The team is made up of trainers with stated specialisations. Gala, based in London, works at basic, advanced and rehabilitation levels. Adrienne, in Manchester, covers basic, advanced, rehabilitation and protection. The academy has a total of one trainer at each of the two locations, according to the site's data.

Methodology and complementary services

Tail Tales Academy insists on positive reinforcement as the core of its philosophy, with a compassionate and supportive approach. Among the services highlighted by the academy itself and by client testimonials are:

• Pick-up and drop-off of the dog at home.
• Post-training sessions to teach owners how to continue the work at home.
• Regular updates during the dog's stay, with photos and videos.
• Ongoing support after the programme ends, with follow-up consultations and resources to reinforce the learned behaviours.

The academy also works with shelters, applying the same positive reinforcement principles to improve the bond between dogs and their adopters.

Coverage areas

Tail Tales Academy operates in two locations: London and Manchester. The website states that it has helped dogs in the United States and the United Kingdom, although the listed locations and trainers are in the United Kingdom.

Client experiences

The testimonials collected on the site mention improvements in obedience, reduced anxiety and greater sociability after the programmes. Cases are cited of dogs with anxiety, aggression or lack of control issues, and communication with the trainers, personalisation and follow-up are highlighted. Some clients mention stays of several weeks and the convenience of the pick-up and drop-off service.
