What Chicago Puppy Owners Say About Us

“Just started bringing my dog here. She loves it. Gets super excited to go every time. The drop off and pick up process is super easy and efficient, which I really appreciate because sometimes I’m running a little late for work. Will continue to bring her here. “

“Angie and everyone at happy tails and trails are amazing”
Shellie Chambelain
Love this team and how well they treat my dog. We started taking him there at 12 weeks old for infant puppy play and they went the extra mile to make him comfortable because he was a nervous little guy. My dog is a Havanese, meaning he needs regular grooming which he’s not great about, but the team (Nicole!) has been WONDERFUL and patient with him. My husband and I also travel a lot for work and we are very comfortable boarding him at Happy Tails & Trails for a week or more at a time. We love this place and wouldn’t dream of taking our dog elsewhere. Highly recommend!

Featured Case Study

A Puppy’s Journey at Happy Tails & Trails

When Max, a four-month-old lab mix, first joined our Puppy Play Sessions, he was shy and unsure around other dogs. Within just a few weeks, Max began running, playing, and greeting new puppy friends with confidence. His owner noticed a decrease in accidents at home and improved behavior on walks, all thanks to the structure and guidance provided by our staff.

  • Safe Socialization – Puppies learn how to interact with other dogs of similar age in a structured group.
  • Confidence Building – Meeting new friends in a nurturing environment helps reduce fear and anxiety.
  • Positive Training Reinforcement – Our experienced staff gently guides puppies through basic manners while they play.
  • Exercise & Enrichment – Playgroups burn off that puppy energy, leaving you with a calmer, happier companion.
