Our dogs have been going here for years now for both day care, short overnight stays and extended boarding during travel. We have had an excellent experience-- our dogs are clearly happy to arrive and are content and exhausted when they get home from a daycare day. We aim for them to get 1-2 visits for day care per week for much of the year, and have had them stay overnight for as long as 1.5-2 weeks. We recommend them to all our friends (and so far, our friends and their dogs have been happy, too!). read more

Not a good or safe place for little dogs. They aren't watching behavior from other dogs. Stay away!

Our dog LOVES it here. He runs in and is so happy when he is there!! Just the best place to leave your furry friend.

We bring our lab here for daycare multiple times a week and for the occasional night/weekend for boarding. We absolutely love the staff, our dog is ecstatic to go to "school" and always comes home happy and tired from running around all day. We've also noticed that our dog is very socialized; we never have to worry about her being the aggressor in a setting with other dogs. It's been a lifesaver for us between our busy work/school schedules. You can tell the owner, Ian, really cares about the dogs. We're so happy we found Tail Command!! read more

This place is really good place for grooming, I have a pet golden doodle is Oreo,The staff mostly young people, they do their job fabulous, and the prices really reasonable, of course we will comeback. read more

My dog seemed to have a great time here- so much that he was like, "oh, it's you again..." when I picked him up from doggie sleepover. The staff strikes me as warm and caring. I plan on using them again! read more

This place has been a life saver for us and so good for our puppy. He's 5 months old and has been going for daycare twice a week for about a month. It wears him out. He loves it. He does really well when he meets other dogs on walks. The people at Tail Command are very caring and still firm enough to help him behave. Excellent value! read more

I wish there was a zero rating. Tail Command employees did not perform the wash & dry that we paid for and then lied about it. I do not trust Tail Command to take care of my dog ever again if they would lie blatantly about something so obvious as a bath. I am convinced that my dog was possibly in a crate for 24 hours and not even give daycare time. I dropped my dog off for an overnight stay and the employee who processed him offered a special on a bath and nail trim for $10. I asked the employee if she was sure that my dog could be completely dry for that amount as he has a double coat and that if he was not dry he would get hot spots. I offered to pay full price to ensure he was dry when I picked him up. I explained with emphasis that he had to be dry to avoid hot spots . The employee assured me multiple times that my dog would be dry. When I picked my dog up today his belly was dripping wet and the rest of his coat was wet enough that water drops flew off of him when he shook. He smelled like urine. My guess is they soaked him with water and washed his belly down - which makes me wonder if he even received daycare playtime or was in a crate the entire time. The employee let him out the door and went back inside without a word to me. I called to speak to them about it and was told by a manager that they did not know who promised me my dog would be dry but they do not guarantee that. Her response was ridiculous- why would anyone pay to have your dog washed and not dried? She was rude and never took responsibility for their mistake and stated that she was not told by the employee who checked my dog in that he needed to be dry. She stated that they just wash them and put them in a drying crate. That answer is absolutely unacceptable and ridiculous. Not to mention that Jake clearly had not been given a bath with shampoo. I will NEVER take Jake here again and will NEVER recommend Tail Command to anyone. But I will look forward to telling everyone I can how poorly my dog was treated and that that the Tail Command staff is careless and rude. I wish I could give them a zero. read more

I wish there was a zero star rating. My dog stayed here while i visited my daughter at college and was attacked by another dog. They told me it was fine but when I took her to the vet she had to get stitches. I called to let them know that she was clearly -not fine - and they told me that if I was looking for them to pay for the vet services that they would not pay for them. I am highly displeased as my friend recommended them for good dog care. read more

My family first met the owners of Tail Command approximately a year ago. We had bought a Yorkie puppy (Buddy) and had him for 9 months in which we were never able to get him house broken with traditional methods. We quickly discovered that the problems we were having were much more severe than we thought initially. Our dog had a severe case of separation anxiety. We learned through video recording that anytime we would leave him, he would go into an anxious fit soiling his crate and then becoming even more anxious that he had had an accident. We had asked another dog trainer for help, but because of her limited schedule and my difficult work hours she seemed to be unable (or unwilling) to make adjustments to help us. I was in tears daily over the situation and it was causing turmoil in our home. We even considered finding a new home for Buddy, but not only would that have broken our hearts, but who wants to adopt a dog with that severe of a problem. When I called Ian at Tail Command, he immediately set up an appointment to come to our home and help us. He did not overcharge us, or try to set up multiple appointments to keep himself financially funded. He spent a lot of time learning about Buddy's behavior and multiple anxiety issues. Ian was not only supportive of our dog, but of me as his owner and the distress that I was facing due to his problems. Ian was available to us by email and phone between appointments and did not charge us extra for those services. Due to the behavior training we received from Tail Command, within approximately a month, our problem with separation anxiety had lessened by 90%. Our little Buddy had stopped soiling his crate and then house breaking came along more naturally shortly afterwards. Tail Command is an excellent business with excellent owners. They are not only knowledgeable, but supportive as well. If not for the support and training of Ian and his staff, we would have had to get rid of our little Buddy. We can never fully express in a short review how valuable the services we received there have been to our dog and our family. Thank you Tail Command! We love you guys! read more

Tail Command is just what Taylorville needed. I have two dogs, Molly and Indiana. I needed to board the dogs while we went on vacation. Since Tail Command was in town, I looked into it. I asked my veterinarian and they had other clients that had used it so I left them there. When we returned the dogs were wore out from all the playing they had done. I thought it would be good to take them a couple times a week while everyone was at work. That has turned into an everyday thing. Every morning I ask, "Are you ready for camp?" They both run to the door ready to play with their friends. Another good thing that has came from daycare is the confidence that Indiana has gained. When he started going, he was shy towards other dogs and people. Now he will walk up to people on his own and isn't afraid to get a toy from someone else. Molly has also grown. She has learned to share (mostly) and has gotten more patience. She is a work in progress. I have worked with Ian on better quality food for my dogs. I thought what I had been feeding them was a good name brand food. After talking to Ian and switching foods, the dogs have stopped excessive shedding and have better coats and no more stomach problems. Tail Command has been just what I needed to keep an energetic pair of dogs happy and healthy. Wether its daycare, diet, training, boarding or grooming, Tail Command has it all. read more
